The Intel® Fortran Compiler is built on a long history of generating optimized code that supports industry standards while taking advantage of built-in technology for Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and Intel® Core™ processors. Staying aligned with Intel's evolving and diverse architectures, the compiler now supports GPUs. This presentation will cover the compiler standards and path forward. There are two versions of this compiler. Both versions integrate seamlessly with popular third-party compilers, development environments, and operating systems. • Intel Fortran Compiler: provides CPU and GPU offload support • Intel Fortran Compiler Classic: provides continuity with existing CPU-focused workflows Features: • Improves development productivity by targeting CPUs and GPUs through single-source code while permitting custom tuning • Supports broad Fortran language standards • Incorporates industry standards support for OpenMP* 4.5, and initial OpenMP 5.0 and 5.1 for GPU offload • Uses well-proven LLVM compiler technology and Intel's history of compiler leadership • Takes advantage of multicore, Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) vectorization and multiprocessor systems with OpenMP, automatic parallelism, and coarrays Speaker: Ron Green is the manager of the Intel Fortran OpenMP and Runtime Library development team. He is a moderator for the Intel Fortran Community Forum and is an Intel Developer Zone “Black Belt”. He has extensive experience as a developer and consultant in HPC for the past 30+ years and has been with Intel’s compiler team for thirteen years. His technical interest area is in parallel application development with a focus on Fortran programming.

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.

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. Shantenu Jha is the Chair of Computation & Data Driven Discovery Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Professor of Computer Engineering at Rutgers University. His research interests are at the intersection of high-performance distributed computing and computational & data science. Shantenu leads the RADICAL-Cybertools project which are a suite of middleware building blocks used to support large-scale science and engineering applications. He was appointed a Rutgers Chancellor's Scholar (2015) and was the recipient of the inaugural Chancellor's Excellence in Research (2016) for his cyberinfrastructure contributions to computational science.

In 30 minutes, I will share the collection as it stands today - and I will explain why these matter, and how they underscore the value of SYCL over CUDA because many of the nuances are new to us all because they help SYCL address XPUs (more than 'just GPUs') and they address the needs of being open for multivendor support.

Author(s): James Reinders Video(s): Read more | |The high-performance computing (HPC) ecosystem increasingly supports heterogeneous architectures and customization. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are among the options being considered due to their ability to both adapt to individual workloads and serve as prototype vehicles for application-specific accelerators. However, adoption has been limited due to the difficulty in programming these devices. To mitigate this, vendors are introducing frameworks based on embedded domain specific languages (eDSLs), such as SYCL. This work takes the first step in evaluating one of these new DSLs, DPC++, using DOE proxy applications to identify programmability gaps and performance on Intel FPGAs. Initial testing is being done with the MiniAMR application from the Mantevo suite, focusing on the 7-point stencil.

Author(s): Nicholas Miller Video(s): Read more | |This lightning talk presents our work on parallelizing the epidemiological simulation model Episim. Episim combines a large-scale person-centric human mobility model with a mechanistic model of infection and a person-centric disease progression model. Movements of persons, including the intervening activities in which they may interact with others, can be directly taken from data. Episim can be used to evaluate different intervention strategies, such as closing educational facilities, reducing other out-of-home activities, wearing masks, or contact tracing. In general, the parallelization of agent-based models is challenging. Especially when the underlying social network is irregular and dynamic, they require frequent communication between the processing elements. In Episim, however, we were able to take advantage of the fact that people are not contagious on the same day they become infected, and therefore immediate health synchronization is not required.

In this paper, we report how we prepare the Ginkgo math library for Intel GPUs by developing a kernel backed based on the DPC++ programming environment. We discuss conceptual differences to the CUDA and HIP programming models and describe workflows for simplified code conversion. We benchmark advanced sparse linear algebra routines utilizing the converted kernels to assess the efficiency of the DPC++ backend in the hardware-specific performance bounds, and compare the performance of basic building blocks against routines providing the same functionality that ship with Intel's oneMKL vendor library.
