Multi-GPU Programming—Scale-Up and Scale-Out Made Easy, Using the Intel® MPI Library
|
Anatoliy Rozanov is Intel MPI Lead Developer responsible for Intel GPU enabling and Intel MPI process management/deployment infrastructure at Intel.
Dmitry Durnov is Intel MPI and oneCCL Products Architect at Intel.
Michael Steyer is a HPC Technical Consulting Engineer, supporting technical and high performance computing segments within the Software and Advanced Technology Group at Intel.

For shared memory programming of GPGPU systems, users either have to manually run their domain decomposition along available GPUs as well as GPU Tiles. Or leverage implicit scaling mechanisms that transparently scale their offload code across multiple GPU-Tiles. The former approach can be cumbersome, and the latter approach is not always the best performing one. The Intel MPI library can take that burden from users by enabling the user to program only for a single GPU / Tile and leave the distribution to the library. This can make HPC / GPU programming much easier. Therefore, Intel® MPI does not just allow to pin individual MPI ranks to individual GPUs or Tiles, but also allows users to pass GPU memory pointers to the library. |

IMPECCABLE: A Dream Pipeline for High-Throughput Virtual Screening, or a Pipe Dream? |
Dr. Shantenu Jha, Chair of Computation & Data Driven Discovery Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Professor of Computer Engineering at Rutgers University |
The drug discovery process currently employed in the pharmaceutical industry typically requires about 10 years and $2-3 billion to deliver one new drug. This is both too expensive and too slow, especially in emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. In silico methodologies need to be improved to better select lead compounds that can proceed to later stages of the drug discovery protocol accelerating the entire process. No single methodological approach can achieve the necessary accuracy with required efficiency. Here we describe multiple methodological and supporting infrastructural innovations at scale. Specifically, how we used TACC’s Frontera on > 8000 compute nodes to sustain 144M/hour docking hits, and to screen ∼100 Billion drug candidates. These capabilities have been used by the US-DOE National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory, and represent important progress towards improvement of computational drug discovery, both in terms of size of libraries screened, but also the possibility of generating training data fast enough for very powerful (docking) surrogate models.

Performance Optimization of Intel® oneAPI Applications |
Kevin O’Leary
Intel Corporation
|
Modern workloads are incredibly diverse—and so are architectures. No single architecture is best for every workload. Maximizing performance takes a mix of scalar, vector, matrix, and spatial (SVMS) architectures deployed in CPU, GPU, FPGA, and other future accelerators. Intel® oneAPI products will deliver the tools needed to deploy applications and solutions across SVMS architectures. This webinar will focus on the oneAPI features that focus on performance optimization, including the analysis tools:
- Intel® VTune™ Profiler(Beta) to find performance bottlenecks fast in CPU, GPU, and FPGA systems
- Intel® Advisor(Beta) for vectorization, threading, and accelerator offload design advice
- Part of the webinar will start with an application that is currently running on a CPU, and we will use the oneAPI tools to port and optimize on our GPU.
The Intel® oneAPI set of complementary toolkits—a base kit and specialty add-ons—simplify programming and help improve efficiency and innovation. Use it for: high performance computing, machine learning and analytics, IoT applications, video processing, rendering, etc. This webinar will include extra time for Q&A.
Presenter: Kevin O’Leary is a senior technical consulting engineer in Intel’s software tools group. Kevin was one of the original developers of Intel® Parallel Studio. Before coming to Intel, he spent several years on the IBM Rational Apex debugger development team.

The DREAM Framework and Binning Directories –or– Can We Analyze ALL Genomic Sequences on Earth? |
Knut Reinert
Freie Universität Berlin
|
The recent improvements of full genome sequencing technologies, commonly subsumed under the term NGS (Next Generation Sequencing), have tremendously increased the sequencing throughput. Within 10 years it rose from 21 billion base pairs collected over months to about 400 billion base pairs per day (current throughput of Illumina's HiSeq 4000). The costs for producing one million base pairs could also be reduced from 140,000 dollars to a few cents.
As a result of this dramatic development, the number of new data submissions, generated by various biotechnological protocols (ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, etc.), to genomic databases has grown dramatically and is expected to continue to increase faster than the cost and capacity of storage devices will decrease.
The main task in analyzing NGS data is to search sequencing reads or short sequence patterns (i.e., exon/intron boundary read-through patterns) or expression profiles in large collections of sequences (i.e., a database). Searching the entirety of such databases mentioned above is usually only possible by searching the metadata or a set of results initially obtained from the experiment. Searching (approximately) for specific genomic sequence in all the data has not been possible in reasonable computational time.
In this work we describe results of our new data structure, called binning directory that can distribute approximate search queries based on an extension of our recently introduced Interleaved Bloom Filters (IBF) called x-partitioned IBF (x-PIBF). The results presented here make use of Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory architecture and achieves significant speedups compared to a disk based solution.

Scaling Distributed TensorFlow Training with Intel’s nGraph Library on Xeon® Processor Based HPC Infrastructure |
Jianying Lang
Intel Corporation
|
Intel has released nGraph library, a compiler and runtime APIs for multiple front-end Deep Learning frameworks, such as TensorFlow, MxNet, PaddlePaddle, and others. nGraph represents framework computational graph as an intermediate representation (IR) which could be executed by multiple backend computational hardware from the edge to the data center, thus significantly improving the productivity of AI data scientists. As in this talk, we will present the details on the bridge that connects TensorFlow to nGraph for a Xeon CPU backend. We will demonstrate state-of-the-art (SOTA) accuracy and convergence for ResNet-50 against ImageNet-1K on multiple Xeon Skylake nodes. Using distributed nGraph, we are able to obtain ~75% Top-1 accuracy for ResNet-50 training on a small number of Xeon Skylake nodes. We will demonstrate convergence and excellent scaling efficiency Skylake nodes connected with Ethernet using nGraph TensorFlow with open source code Horovod. |

Deeply-Pipelined FPGA Clusters Make DNN Training Scalable |
Tong Geng
Boston University
Tianqi Wang
University of Science and Technology of China
|
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have revolutionized numerous applications, but the demand for ever more performance remains unabated. Scaling DNN computations to larger clusters is generally done by distributing tasks in batch mode using methods such as distributed synchronous SGD. Among the issues with this approach is that to make the distributed cluster work with high utilization, the workload distributed to each node must be large, which implies nontrivial growth in the SGD mini-batch size. In this talk, we introduce a framework, FPDeep, which uses a hybrid of model and layer parallelism to configure distributed reconfigurable clusters to train DNNs. This approach has numerous benefits. First, the design does not suffer from batch size growth. Second, novel workload and weight partitioning leads to balanced loads of both among nodes. And third, the entire system is a fine-grained pipeline. This leads to high parallelism and utilization and also minimizes the time features need to be cached while waiting for back-propagation. As a result, storage demand is reduced to the point where only on-chip memory is used for the convolution layers. We evaluate FPDeep with the Alexnet, VGG-16, and VGG-19 benchmarks. FPDeep provides, on average, 6.36x higher energy efficiency than comparable GPU servers. |

Vectorization is increasingly important to achieve high performance on modern hardware with SIMD instructions. Assembly of matrices and vectors in the finite element method, which is characterized by iterating a local assembly kernel over unstructured meshes, poses challenges to effective vectorization. Maintaining a user-friendly high-level interface with a suitable degree of abstraction while generating efficient, vectorized code for the finite element method is a challenge for numerical software systems and libraries. In this talk, we study the cross-element vectorization in the finite framework Firedrake and demonstrate the efficacy of such an approach by evaluating a wide range of matrix-free operators spanning different polynomial degrees and discretizations on two recent Intel CPUs using three mainstream compilers. Our experiments show that cross-element vectorization achieves 30% of theoretical peak performance for many examples of practical significance, and exceeds 50% for cases with high arithmetic intensities, with consistent speed-up over vectorization restricted to the local assembly kernels. |

Image and data-parallel rendering across multiple nodes on HPC system is widely used in visualization to provide higher framerates, support large datasets, and render data in situ, Specifically for in situ, reducing bottlenecks incurred by the visualization and compositing tasks is of key concern to reduce the overall simulation run time, while for general interactive visualization improving rendering performance, and thus interactivity, is always desirable. In this talk, Will Usher will present our work on an asynchronous image processing and compositing framework for multi-node rendering in OSPRay, dubbed the Distributed FrameBuffer. We demonstrate that this approach achieves performance superior to the state of the art for common use cases, while providing the flexibility to support a wide range of parallel rendering algorithms and data distribution. By building on this framework, we have extended OSPRay with a data-distributed API, enabling its use in data-distributed and in situ visualization applications. Will Usher will cover our approach to developing this framework, performance considerations, and use cases and examples of the new data-distributed API in OSPRay. |

This talk will present benchmark data for IMDT, which is a new generation of Software-defined Memory (SDM) based on Intel ScaleMP collaboration and using 3D XPoint based Intel SSD called Optane. IMDT performance was studied using synthetic benchmarks, scientific kernels and applications. We chose these benchmarks to represent different patterns for computation and accessing data on disks and memory. To put performance of IMDT in comparison, we used two memory configurations: hybrid IMDT DDR4/Optane and DDR4 only system. The performance was measured as percentage of used memory and analyzed in detail. We found that for some applications DDR4/Optane hybrid configuration outperforms DDR4 setup by up to 20%. |

Machine Learning at Scale
|
Deborah Bard and Karthik Kashinath
NERSC
|
Deep Learning has revolutionized the fields of computer vision, speech recognition, robotics and control systems. At NERSC, we have applied deep learning to problems in cosmology and climate science, focusing on areas that require supercomputing resources to solve real scientific challenges. In cosmology, we use deep learning to identify the underlying physical model that produced the matter distribution in the universe, and develop a deep learning-based emulator for cosmological observables that can reduce the need for computationally expensive simulations. In addition, we use feature introspection to examine the physical structures identified by the network as distinguishing between cosmological models.
In climate, we apply deep learning to detect and localize extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones, atmospheric rivers and weather fronts in large-scale simulated and observed datasets. We will also discuss the challenges involved in scaling deep learning frameworks to supercomputer scale, and how to obtain optimal performance from supercomputing hardware.

High Productivity Languages
|
Rollin Thomas

Sergey Maidanov
Intel Corporation |
This talk will cover challenges of numerical analysis and simulations at scale. The tools such as Python which are often used for prototyping are not designed to scale to large problems. As a result organizations have to have a dedicated team that takes a prototype created by research scientists and deploy it in the production environment.
The new approach is required for addressing both scalability and productivity aspects of applied science that combines two distinct worlds, the best of HPC world and the best of database worlds.
Starting with a brief overview of scalability aspects with respect to modern hardware architecture we will characterize what the problem at scale is, its inherit characteristics and how these map onto software design choices. We will also discuss selected experimental/observational science applications making use of Python at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), and what NERSC has done in partnership with the Intel Python Team to help application developers improve performance while retaining scientist/developer productivity.

Topology and Cache Coherence in Knights Landing and Skylake Xeon Processors
|
John McCalpin
TACC |
Intel's second-generation Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Xeon Scalable Processor ("Skylake Xeon") are both based on a new 2-D mesh architecture with significant changes to the cache coherence protocol. This talk will review some of the most important new features of the coherence protocol (such as "snoop filters", "memory directories", and non-inclusive L3 caches) from a performance analysis perspective. For both of these processor families, the mapping from user-visible information (such as core numbers) to spatial location on the mesh is both undocumented and obscured by low-level renumbering. A methodology is presented that uses microbenchmarks and performance counters to invert this renumbering. This allows the display of spatially relevant performance counter data (such as mesh traffic) in a topologically accurate two-dimensional view. Applying these visualizations to simple benchmark results provides immediate intuitive insights into the flow of data in these systems, and reveals ways in which the new cache coherence protocols modify these flows. |

Threading Building Blocks (TBB) Flow Graph: Expressing and Analyzing Dependencies in Your C++ Application
|
Pablo Reble
Intel Corporation |
Developing for heterogeneous systems is challenging because applications may be composed of many layers of parallelism and employ a diverse set of programming models or libraries. This session focuses on Flow Graph, an extension to the Threading Building Blocks (TBB) interface that can be used as a coordination layer for heterogeneity that retains optimization opportunities and composes with existing models. This extension assists in expressing complex synchronization and communication patterns and in balancing load between CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.
Because a Flow Graph can express complex interactions, we use Intel Advisor’s Flow Graph Analyzer (FGA), which has been released as a Technology Preview in Parallel Studio XE 2018 to visualize interactions in a graph and map the application structure to performance data. Finally, we validate this approach by presenting use cases of applications using Flow Graph.

Vectorization of Inclusive/Exclusive Compilier 19.0 |
Nikolay Panchenko
Intel Corporation |
We propose a new OpenMP syntax to support inclusive and exclusive scan patterns. In computer science, this pattern is also known as a prefix or cumulative sum. The proposal defines several new constructs to support inclusive and exclusive scans through OpenMP, defines semantics for these constructs and possible combination of parallelization and vectorization. In 18.0 Compiler 3 new OMP SIMD experimental features were added: vectorization of loops with breaks, syntax for compress/expand patterns and syntax for histogram pattern.
