Performance Evaluation and Analysis Consortium (PEAC) End Station Patrick H. Worley Computational Earth Sciences GroupComputer Science and Mathematics Division
Overview The PEAC End Station provides the performance evaluation and performance tool developer communities access to the Leadership Computing Facility (LCF) systems.
Overview (continued) All of this must be accomplished while adhering to the “Golden Rules” of the performance community: • Low visibility (no production runs!) • Open and fair evaluations • Timely reporting of results
Status as of 8/28/07 Consuming: Contributing to: 32 active users,39 active projects: • 13 application performance analysis and optimization • 8 system evaluation • 8 tool development • 6 infrastructure development • 4 application modeling • XT4: 1,168,000 processor hours (exceeding 1,000,000 processor-hour allocation) • 1 refereed journal paper • 1 invited journal paper • 6 refereed proceedings papers • 10 proceedings papers • 2 book chapters • Numerous oral presentations
Application code scaling, optimization, and/or performance evaluation
Subsystem evaluations Ratio of time for all processes sending in halo update to time for a single sender Dual vs. single core performance evaluation using APEX-MAP (LBL) I/O performance characterization (LBL) Identifying performance anomalies (ANL) MPI performance characterization (ORNL)
Application analyses and benchmarks Performance sensitivities (SDSC) Scalability optimizations (ORNL) Processing of genomes into domain maps: need improved load balancing that takes into account scale-free nature of the graphs. Porting and optimizing new applications (RENCI/NCSA)
