Vanderlei Munhoz presented his work entitled Strategies for Fault-Tolerant Tightly-coupled HPC Workloads Running on Low-Budget Spot Cloud Infrastructures at the EEE International Symposium on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing (SBAC-PAD 2022), which was held in Bordeaux, France. This work was coauthored by Prof. Márcio Castro and Prof. Odorico Mendizabal.
In this work, Vanderlei evaluated the viability of budget-constrained cloud environments for tightly-coupled MPI applications, exploring both spot and traditional low-budget infrastructures from real public cloud platforms. Two different fault tolerance strategies tailored for unreliable spot cloud environments have been proposed: system-level rollback restart with Berkeley Labs Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) and in-memory rollback restart with User-Level Failure Mitigation (ULFM). A provider-agnostic empirical method for testing and predicting MPI workloads execution times and cloud infrastructure costs was also proposed. The results showed that: (i) adequate cluster sizing plays an important role in the overall job execution performance and cost-effectiveness, regardless of the type of selected instances; (ii) fault tolerance strategies based on BLCR may have worse performance than ULFM, but still be cost-effective considering software migration costs; (iii) the use of spot infrastructure does not guarantee costs savings depending on the chosen machine flavors and discounts, as experiments with persistent low-budget options attained better cost-effectiveness in some conditions.
The “XXIII Simpósio em Sistemas Computacionais de Alto Desempenho (WSCAD 2022)”, which is the brazilian conference on High Performance Computing (HPC), was organized by Prof. Márcio Castro (UFSC) and Prof. Odorico Mendizabal (UFSC) and was held at the Majestic Palace Hotel in Florianópolis/SC. Students from LaPeSD and PET/UFSC have also participated as local staff. In this year, more than 140 people came to Florianópolis/SC to participate in the event.
João Fellipe Uller presented his work entitled Enhancing Programmability in NoC-Based Lightweight Manycore Processors with a Portable MPI Library at the Simpósio em Sistemas Computacionais de Alto Desempenho (WSCAD), which was held virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This work was advised by Prof. Márcio Castro.
In this work, João proposed a portable and lightweight MPI library (LWMPI) designed from scratch to cope with restrictions and intricacies of lightweight manycores. This library was integrated into a distributed OS that targets these processors and evaluated it on the Kalray MPPA-256 processor. Results obtained with three applications from a representative benchmark suite unveiled that LWMPI achieves similar performance scalability in comparison with the low-level vendor-specific API narrowed for MPPA-256, while exposing a richer programming interface.
