Here an optimization strategy based on code modernization concept is proposed and applies to the global MASNUM surface wave model, which has been used in several operational forecasting systems and earth system models.

Author(s): Eduardo Cruz, Philippe Navaux Video(s): Improving Oil and Gas Extraction Simulation Performance using Intel® Xeon® and Xeon Phi™ Architectures Read more | |The Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) is one of the top users of resources at NERSC, of which the Model for Prediction Across Scales - Ocean Core (MPAS-O) is a significant component, composed of 800,000 lines of Fortran and work by 50 contributors. When MPAS-O is migrated from the previous generation NERSC production system, Edison which hosts Ivy Bridge processors to the newer Knights Landing based Cori system, severe performance loss and scaling bottlenecks result. Performance analysis was used to reject a number of possible causes of this effect including load imbalance, cache behavior, and vectorization efficiency. It was found that a lower bound on the number of simulation cells mapped to an MPI rank combined with MPAS framework overhead caused by serialized thread structure is the overwhelming contributor to MPAS performance loss on Xeon Phi systems. Two framework optimizations which remove excessive thread barriers and recycle communications data structures have been incorporated into the E3SM master codebase for a 15% speed improvement when running MPAS-O at production scale on Xeon Phi processors.

Author(s): Timbwaoga Ouermi Video(s): Performance Optimization Techniques for Accelerating WRF Physics Codes on Intel Micro-Architectures Read more | |Maximum likelihood estimation is an important statistical technique for estimating missing data, for example in climate and environmental applications, which are usually large and feature data points that are irregularly spaced. In particular, the Gaussian log-likelihood function is the de facto model, which operates on the resulting sizable dense covariance matrix. The advent of high-performance systems with advanced computing power and memory capacity have enabled full simulations only for rather small dimensional climate problems, solved at the machine precision accuracy. The challenge for high dimensional problems lies in the computation requirements of the log-likelihood function, which necessitates O(n^2) storage and O(n^3) operations, where n represents the number of given spatial locations. This prohibitive computational cost may be reduced by using approximation techniques that not only enable large-scale simulations otherwise intractable but also maintain the accuracy and the fidelity of the spatial statistics model. In this paper, we extend the Exascale GeoStatistics software (i.e., ExaGeoStat) to support the Tile Low-Rank (TLR) approximation, which exploits the data sparsity of the dense covariance matrix by compressing the off-diagonal tiles up to a user-defined accuracy threshold. The underlying linear algebra operations may then be carried out on this data compression format, which may ultimately reduce the arithmetic complexity of the maximum likelihood estimation and the corresponding memory footprint. We analyze the performance of the proposed framework across most recent Intel architectures. We achieve up to 4.48X speedup using TLR approximation compared to a full-time solution on Intel 56-core salable Skylake chip, 9.16X speedup on Intel 28-core Broadwell chip, 6.21X speedup on Intel 36-Haswell chip, and 3X speedup on Knights Landing (KNL) chip. With a distributed system, performance results of TLR-based computations on Shaheen-II attain up to 5X speedup, compared to full accuracy simulations using synthetic and real datasets (up to 2M), while ensuring adequate prediction accuracy.
