  7. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Role in Energy Efficiency • Idle GPU = wasted energy • Maximally-loaded GPU = a lot of power consumption • For example • Nvidia 8800 GTX consumes 137W @ max load • Intel Xeon LS5400 consumes 50W @ max load Source: http://mark.zoomcities.com/images/gfx/GFXpowerchartby3d.png (which is derived from data from http://www.xbitlabs.com)

  11. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Outline • Motivation • Role in Energy Efficiency • Hurricane Mitigation Overview • Performance Modeling • GPU Programming for BLAST • Model Testing • Conclusion

  12. Motivation • Alarming Statistics • 40% of (small-medium sized) companies shut down within 36 months, if forced closed for 3 or more days after a hurricane • Local communities lose jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars to their economy • If 5% of businesses in South Florida recover one week earlier, then we can prevent $219,300,000 in non-property economic losses • Hurricanes cost coastal regions financial and personal damage • Damage can be mitigated, but • Impact area prediction is inaccurate • Simulation using commodity computers is not precise Hurricane Andrew, Florida 1992 Ike, Cuba 2008 Katrina, New Orleans 2005

  14. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Motivation for application profiling and performance prediction • Optimal usage of grid resources through “smarter” meta-scheduling • Many users overestimate job requirements • Reduced idle time for compute resources • Save utility and energy costs • Optimal resource selection for most expedient job return time

  15. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Process

  16. Typical Results on Large Clusters • Input: Marenostrum • 8, 16, and 32 nodes • 1 process per node • Output: Marenostrum • 8, 16, 32, 64, 96, and 128 nodes

  17. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Future Modeling Plans • Model execution time with different GPU configurations • Current GPU project objective: learn how to model GPU performance by porting WRF kernels to CUDA • Test with different cards • Test with different processor configurations • Test with different number of nodes

  18. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Overview of GPU Benchmarking Project Learn WRF Understand Source code of existing CUDA-ported code Learn CUDA Learn CUDA Understand old source code (Fortran) Learn Fortran Learn WRF Port another module Benchmark

  19. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Status • Code has been compiled and executed • Regions of similarity are being identified • Fortran Program: 1729 lines • CUDA (C) Program: 1329 lines (incl init) • Currently figuring out necessary code logic of existing ported kernel • Preliminary documentation/report of findings

  20. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Outline • Motivation • Role in Energy Efficiency • Hurricane Mitigation Overview • Performance Modeling • GPU Programming for BLAST • Model Testing • Conclusion

  21. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Purpose • BLAST used extensively for sequence analysis • Provides a different kind of application for testing GPU performance improvements • Further improve our GPU programming and performance modeling knowledge

  22. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Status • Literature review concerning other sequence analysis work with GPU • Learning how BLAST works

  23. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Long-running, Fault-tolerant Weather Prediction • Slight inaccuracies in initial conditions of domain can cause significant inaccuracies later • Third component of this project: account for this using perturbation analysis • The effects of perturbation on runtime must also be modeled

  24. GreenLight Education & Outreach Summer Workshop UCSD. La Jolla, California. July 1 – 2, 2009. Conclusion • GPU’s promise much faster job execution for different applications • In order to maximize resource utilization, application execution time should be predictable • Especially for time-critical applications that take long to execute
