Title:
Introduction of Research Activities at High Performance Big Data Research Team (FY2024 ver.)
Abstract:
The High Performance Big Data Research Team at RIKEN Center for Computational Science (RIKEN R-CCS) has been working on performance analysis and system software R&D for extreme-scale computing towards convergence of AI/Big Data and HPC as well as fundamental R&Ds for HPC. In this talk, Kento Sato will introduce R&D activities at the team.

Title:
Further Investigation for Optimization of Communication-Computation Overlapping in Parallel Multigrid Methods
Abstract:
Preconditioned iterative methods based on the Krylov subspace technique are widely employed in various scientific and technical computing. When utilizing large-scale parallel computing systems, the communication overhead tends to increase with the growth in the number of nodes, making its reduction a crucial challenge. In parallel FEM/FVM, halo communication and computation overlapping (CC-Overlapping) are commonly employed, often in conjunction with the dynamic loop scheduling feature of OpenMP. In the previous work, the author proposes a method to apply CC-Overlapping to the forward and backward substitutions of the IC(0) smoother of the parallel Conjugate Gradient method preconditioned by Multigrid (MGCG). Using up to 4,096 nodes on Wisteria/BDEC-01 (Odyssey) with A64FX, performance improvement of approximately 40+% was achieved compared to the original implementation. In the present work, further investigation for optimization of CC-Overlapping has been conducted.
