Accurate modeling of parallel scientific computations
Scientific codes are usually parallelized by partitioning a grid among processors. To achieve top performance it is necessary to partition the grid so as to balance workload and minimize communication/synchronization costs. This problem is particularly acute when the grid is irregular, changes over the course of the computation, and is not known until load-time. Critical mapping and remapping decisions rest on our ability to accurately predict performance, given a description of a grid and its partition. This paper discusses one approach to this problem, and illustrates its use on a one-dimensional fluids code. The models we construct are shown empirically to be accurate, and are used to find optimal remapping schedules. Keywords: Parallel processing; Dynamic remapping; Analytic modeling.
