Research summary
The application tuning development team work to develop outstanding infrastructure of application development that will take full advantage of the capabilities of the supercomputer Fugaku.
In particular, performance evaluation and performance optimization of the applications developed by R-CCS research teams will be carried out.
We establish the performance analysis method and carry out the following tasks in order to optimize the applications.
- Analysis of applications information such as performance, function and usage status.
- Single CPU performance tuning and high parallelization.
- Improvement for efficiency of operational resources by performance optimization of applications.
Our goal is to systematize the technology for performance optimization of applications through these tasks.
