Analyzing Performance Profiles using Hatchet

D.hpc
Abhinav Bhatele
Performance analysis is critical for identifying and eliminating bottlenecks in both serial and parallel programs. There are many profiling tools that can instrument serial and parallel codes, and gather performance data. However, analytics and visualization tools that are general, easy to use, and programmable are limited. Hatchet is an open-source Python library that can read profiling output of several tools, and enables the user to perform a variety of programmatic analyses on hierarchical performance profiles. Hatchet brings the power of modern data science tools such as pandas to bear on performance analysis. In this talk, we present a set of techniques and operations that build on the pandas data analysis library to enable analysis of performance profiles. These techniques, implemented in Hatchet, enable the filtering, aggregation, and pruning of structured data. In addition, Hatchet facilitates comparing performance profiles from multiple executions to understand the differences between them.

With the end of Moore’s law, improving single-core processor performance can be extremely difficult to do in an energy-efficient manner. One alternative is to rethink conventional processor design methodologies and propose innovative ideas to unlock additional performance and efficiency. In an attempt to overcome these difficulties, we propose a compiler-informed non-speculative out-of-order commit processor, that attacks the limitations of in-order commit in current out-of-order cores to ...

The Container ecosystem spans from spawning a process into an isolated and constrained region of the kernel at bottom layer, building and distributing images just above to discussions on how to schedule a fleet of containers around the world at the very top. While the top layers get all the attention and buzz, this session will base-line the audiences' understanding of how to execute containers.

Over the years, there has been extensive efforts to improve Apache Spark SQL performance. This talk will introduce the new Adaptive Query Execution (AQE) framework and how it can automatically improve user query performance. AQE leverages query runtime statistics to dynamically guide Spark's execution as queries run along. The talk will go over the main features in AQE and provide examples on how it can improve on the previous static query plans. Finally, we'll present the significant ...

This talk introduces DiscoPoP, a tool which identifies parallelization opportunities in sequential programs and suggests programmers how to parallelize them using OpenMP. The tool first identifies computational units which, in our terminology, are the atoms of parallelization. Then, it profiles memory accesses inside the source code to detect data dependencies. Mapping dependencies to CUs, we create a data structure which we call the program execution tree (PET). Further, DiscoPoP inspects the ...

In this talk we explore two programming models for GPU accelerated computing in a Fortran application: OpenMP with target directives and CUDA. We use an example application Riemann problem, a common problem in fluid dynamics, as our testing ground. This example application is implemented in GenASiS, a code being developed for astrophysics simulations. While OpenMP and CUDA are supported on the Summit supercomputer, its successor, an exascale supercomputer Frontier, will support OpenMP and ...

The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI, pronounced as “easy”) is a collaboration between different HPC sites and industry partners, with the common goal to set up a shared repository of scientific software installations that can be used on a variety of systems, regardless of which flavor/version of Linux distribution or processor architecture is used, or whether it is a full-size HPC cluster, a cloud environment or a personal workstation. The EESSI codebase ...

XALT is a tool run on clusters to find out what programs and libraries are run. XALT uses the environment variable LD_PRELOAD to attach a shared library to execute code before and after main(). This means that the XALT shared library is a developer on every program run under linux. This shared library is part of every program run. This talk will discuss the various lessons about routine names and memory usage. Adding XALT to track container usage presents new issues because of what shared ...
