| | | Group Operation Assembly Language - A Flexible Way to Express Collective Communication
(In ICPP-2009 - The 38th International Conference on Parallel Processing, presented in Vienna, Austria, IEEE, ISBN: 978-0-7695-3802-0, Sep. 2009)
AbstractThe implementation and optimization of collective
communication operations is an important field of active research. Such operations directly influence application performance and need to map the communication requirements in
an optimal way to steadily changing network architectures. In
this work, we define an abstract domain-specific language to
express arbitrary group communication operations. We show
the universality of this language and how it can be used to
implement all existing collective operations. By design, it readily
lends itself to blocking and nonblocking execution, as well
as to off-loaded execution of complex group communication
operations. We also define several offline and online optimizations
(compiler transformations and scheduling decisions, respectively)
to improve the overall performance of the operation. Performance
results show that the overhead to express current collective
operations is negligible in comparison to the potential gains in a
highly optimized implementation.
