Speaker/Lecture Announcement: Lightweight Requirements Engineering for Exascale Co-design
by White, Monica Orozco 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Argonne Leadership Computing Facility – Guest Speaker/Lecture Speaker: Felix Wolf, Full Professor, Dept. of Computer Science, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Host: Scott Parker Date: March 8, 2019 Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Location: Argonne National Laboratory, Bldg. 240, Rm.#4301 Lightweight Requirements Engineering for Exascale Co-design Given the tremendous cost of an exascale system, its architecture must match the requirements of the applications it is supposed to run as precisely as possible. Conversely, applications must be designed such that building an appropriate system becomes feasible, motivating the idea of co-design. In this process, a fundamental aspect of the application requirements are the rates at which the demands for different resources grow as a code is scaled to a larger machine. However, if the anticipated scale exceeds the size of available platforms this demand ca n no longer be measured. This is clearly the case when designing an exascale system. Moreover, creating analytical models to predict these requirements is often too laborious—especially when the number and complexity of target applications is high. In this paper, we show how automated performance modeling can be used to quickly predict application requirements for varying scales and problem sizes.
