ScalabilityofOptimization Techniques used in Multi-Core Presented by: Peyman Dec 2007
Overview • General Techniques • Focusing on Intel • Available Tools • Scalability of the Tools • Conclusion
General Techniques • Program Transformation • Optimizing Communication Links • Optimizing Message Passing • Optimizing Cluster Configuration • Self Adapting Software • Load Balancing
Intel’s six-step approach • Optimize the Starting Serial Code • Gather Information about the Code • Pinpoint External Dependencies • Identify Parallelization Opportunities • Locate Data Dependencies • Measure System Resource Utilization
Available Tools • Intel Thread Checker • Identify potential threading errors • Deadlocks, Data Races • Intel Thread Profiler • Critical Path Analysis
Conclusion • Scalability of Optimization Techniques • Available Tools • Does the number of Cores matter?
