5 5 1) Introduction What is parallel computing Large important problems require powerful computers Why powerful computers must be parallel processors Why writing (fast) parallel programs is hard Principles of parallel computing performance

6 6 What is parallel computing It is an example of parallel processing: -division of task (process) into smaller tasks (processes) -assign smaller tasks to multiple processing units that work simultaneously -coordinate, control and monitor the units Many examples from nature: -human brain consists of ~10^11 neurons -complex living organisms consist of many cells (although monocellular organism are estimated to be ½ of the earth biomass) -leafs of trees... Many examples from daily life: -highways tollbooths, supermarket cashiers, bank tellers, … -elections, races, competitions, … -building construction -written exams...

7 7 Parallel computing is the use of multiple processors to execute different parts of the same program (task) simultaneously Main goals of parallel computing are: -Increase the size of problems that can be solved -bigger problem would not be solvable on a serial computer in a reasonable amount of time  decompose it into smaller problems -bigger problem might not fit in the memory of a serial computer  distribute it over the memory of many computer nodes -Reduce the “wall-clock” time to solve a problem  Solve (much) bigger problems (much) faster Subgoal: save money using cheapest available resources (clusters, beowulf, grid computing,...)

8 8 Not at all trivial that more processors help to achieve these goals: “If a man can dig a hole of 1 m 3 in 1 hour, can 60 men dig the same hole in 1 minute (!) ? Can 3600 men do it in 1 second (!!) ?” “I know how to make 4 horses pull a cart, but I do not know how to make 1024 chickens do it” (Enrico Clementi) “ What happens if the mean-time to failure for nodes on the Tflops machine is shorter than the boot time ? (Courtenay Vaughan)

9 9 Units of Measure in HPC High Performance Computing (HPC) units are: -Flops: floating point operations -Flops/s: floating point operations per second -Bytes: size of data (a double precision floating point number is 8) Typical sizes are millions, billions, trillions… MegaMflop/s = 10 6 flop/secMbyte = 2 20 = 1048576 ~ 10 6 bytes GigaGflop/s = 10 9 flop/secGbyte = 2 30 ~ 10 9 bytes TeraTflop/s = 10 12 flop/secTbyte = 2 40 ~ 10 12 bytes PetaPflop/s = 10 15 flop/secPbyte = 2 50 ~ 10 15 bytes ExaEflop/s = 10 18 flop/secEbyte = 2 60 ~ 10 18 bytes ZettaZflop/s = 10 21 flop/secZbyte = 2 70 ~ 10 21 bytes YottaYflop/s = 10 24 flop/secYbyte = 2 80 ~ 10 24 bytes Current fastest (public) machine ~ 1.5 Pflop/s Up-to-date lisy at www.top500.org

10 10 Why we need powerful computers

11 11 Simulation: The Third Pillar of Science Traditional scientific and engineering method: (1) Do theory or paper design (2) Perform experiments or build system Limitations: –Too difficult—build large wind tunnels –Too expensive—build a throw-away passenger jet –Too slow—wait for climate or galactic evolution –Too dangerous—weapons, drug design, climate experimentation Computational science and engineering paradigm: (3) Use high performance computer systems to simulate and analyze the phenomenon -Based on known physical laws and efficient numerical methods -Analyze simulation results with computational tools and methods beyond what is used traditionally for experimental data analysis Simulation Theory Experiment

12 Data Driven Science Scientific data sets are growing exponentially -Ability to generate data is exceeding our ability to store and analyze -Simulation systems and some observational devices grow in capability with Moore’s Law Petabyte (PB) data sets will soon be common: -Climate modeling: estimates of the next IPCC data is in 10s of petabytes -Genome: JGI alone will have.5 petabyte of data this year and double each year -Particle physics: LHC is projected to produce 16 petabytes of data per year -Astrophysics: LSST and others will produce 5 petabytes/year (via 3.2 Gigapixel camera) Create scientific communities with “Science Gateways” to data 12

13 13 Some Particularly Challenging Computations Science -Global climate modeling, weather forecasts -Astrophysical modeling -Biology: Genome analysis; protein folding (drug design) -Medicine: cardiac modeling, physiology, neurosciences Engineering -Airplane design -Crash simulation -Semiconductor design -Earthquake and structural modeling Business -Financial and economic modeling -Transaction processing, web services and search engines Defense -Nuclear weapons (ASCI), cryptography, …

14 14 Economic Impact of HPC Airlines: -System-wide logistics optimization systems on parallel systems. -Savings: approx. $100 million per airline per year. Automotive design: -Major automotive companies use large systems (500+ CPUs) for: -CAD-CAM, crash testing, structural integrity and aerodynamics. -One company has 500+ CPU parallel system. -Savings: approx. $1 billion per company per year. Semiconductor industry: -Semiconductor firms use large systems (500+ CPUs) for -device electronics simulation and logic validation -Savings: approx. $1 billion per company per year. Energy -Computational modeling improved performance of current nuclear power plants, equivalent to building two new power plants.

17 Motif/Dwarf: Common Computational Methods (Red Hot  Blue Cool) What do commercial and CSE applications have in common?

18 18 Ex. 1: Global Climate Modeling Problem Problem is to compute: f(latitude, longitude, elevation, time)  temperature, pressure, humidity, wind velocity Atmospheric model: equation of fluid dynamics  Navier-Stokes system of nonlinear partial differential equations Approach: -Discretize the domain, e.g., a measurement point every 1km -Devise an algorithm to predict weather at time t+1 given t Uses: -Predict major events, e.g., El Nino -Use in setting air emissions standards Source: http://www.epm.ornl.gov/chammp/chammp.html

19 19 Global Climate Modeling Computation One piece is modeling the fluid flow in the atmosphere -Solve Navier-Stokes equations -Roughly 100 Flops per grid point with 1 minute timestep Computational requirements: -To match real-time, need 5 x 10 11 flops in 60 seconds = 8 Gflop/s -Weather prediction (7 days in 24 hours)  56 Gflop/s -Climate prediction (50 years in 30 days)  4.8 Tflop/s -To use in policy negotiations (50 years in 12 hours)  288 Tflop/s To double the grid resolution, computation is 8x to 16x State of the art models require integration of atmosphere, clouds, ocean, sea-ice, land models, plus possibly carbon cycle, geochemistry and more Current models are coarser than this

20 20 Climate Modeling on the Earth Simulator System  Development of ES started in 1997 in order to make a comprehensive understanding of global environmental changes such as global warming.  26.58Tflops was obtained by a global atmospheric circulation code. 26.58Tflops was obtained by a global atmospheric circulation code.  35.86Tflops (87.5% of the peak performance) is achieved in the Linpack benchmark.  Its construction was completed at the end of February, 2002 and the practical operation started from March 1, 2002

21 21 Ex. 2: Cardiac simulation Very difficult problem spanning many disciplines: -Electrophysiology (spreading of electrical excitation front) -Structural Mechanics (large deformation of incompressible biomaterial) -Fluid Dynamics (flow of blood inside the heart) Large-scale simulations in computational electrophysiology ( joint work with P. Colli-Franzone and S. Scacchi ) -Bidomain model (system of 2 reaction-diffusion equations) coupled with Luo-Rudy 1 gating (system of 7 ODEs) in 3D -Q1 finite elements in space + adaptive semi-implicit method in time -Parallel solver based on PETSc library -Linear systems up to 36 M unknowns each time-step (128 procs of Cineca SP4) solved in seconds or minutes -Simulation of full heartbeat (4 M unknowns in space, thousands of time-steps) took more than 6 days on 25 procs of Cilea HP Superdome, then about 50 hours on 36 procs of our cluster, now 6.5 hours using multilevel preconditioner

35 35 Ex. 4: Parallel Computing in Data Analysis Web search: -Functional parallelism: crawling, indexing, sorting -Parallelism between queries: multiple users -Finding information amidst junk -Preprocessing of the web data set to help find information Google physical structure (2004 estimate, check current status on e.g. wikipedia): -about 63.272 nodes (126,544 cpus) -126.544 GB RAM -5,062 TB hard drive space ( This would make Google server farm one of the most powerful supercomputer in the world ) Google index size (June 2005 estimate): -about 8 billion web pages, 1 billion images

36 36 - Note that the total Surface Web ( = publically indexable, i.e. reachable by web crawlers) has been estimated (Jan. 2005) at over 11.5 billion web pages. -Invisible (or Deep) Web ( = not indexed by search engines; it consists of dynamic web pages, subscription sites, searchable databases) has been estimated (2001) at over 550 billion documents. -Invisible Web not to be confused with Dark Web consisting of machines or network segments not connected to the Internet Data collected and stored at enormous speeds (Gbyte/hour) -remote sensor on a satellite -telescope scanning the skies -microarrays generating gene expression data -scientific simulations generating terabytes of data -NSA analysis of telecommunications

37 37 Why powerful computers are parallel

38 38 Tunnel Vision by Experts “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” -Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943. “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home” -Ken Olson, president and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977. “640K [of memory] ought to be enough for anybody.” -Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft,1981. Slide source: Warfield et al.

39 39 Technology Trends: Microprocessor Capacity 2X transistors/Chip Every 1.5 - 2 years Called “Moore’s Law” Moore’s Law Microprocessors have become smaller, denser, and more powerful. Gordon Moore (co-founder of Intel) predicted in 1965 that the transistor density of semiconductor chips would double roughly every 18 months. Slide source: Jack Dongarra

40 40 Microprocessor Transistors / Clock (1970-2000)

41 41 Impact of Device Shrinkage What happens when the feature size (transistor size) shrinks by a factor of x ? Clock rate goes up by x because wires are shorter -actually less than x, because of power consumption Transistors per unit area goes up by x 2 Die size also tends to increase -typically another factor of ~x Raw computing power of the chip goes up by ~ x 4 ! -typically x 3 is devoted to either on-chip -parallelism: hidden parallelism such as ILP -locality: caches So most programs x 3 times faster, without changing them

42 42 But there are limiting forces Moore’s 2 nd law (Rock’s law): costs go up Demo of 0.06 micron CMOS Source: Forbes Magazine Yield -What percentage of the chips are usable? -E.g., Cell processor (PS3) is sold with 7 out of 8 “on” to improve yield Manufacturing costs and yield problems limit use of density

43 43 Physical limits: how fast can a serial computer be? Consider the 1 Tflop/s sequential machine : -Data must travel some distance, r, to get from memory to CPU. -Go get 1 data element per cycle, this means 10 12 times per second at the speed of light, c = 3x10 8 m/s. Thus r < c/10 12 = 0.3 mm. Now put 1 Tbyte of storage in a 0.3 mm 0.3 mm area : (in fact 0.3^2 mm^2/10^12 = 9 10^(-2) 10^(-6) m^2/10^12 = 9 10^(-20) m^2 = (3 10^(-10))^2 m^2 = 3^2 A^2  -Each byte occupies less than 3 square Angstroms, or the size of a small atom! (1 Angstrom = 10^(-10) m = 0.1 nanometer) No choice but parallelism r = 0.3 mm 1 Tflop/s, 1 Tbyte sequential machine

44 Power Density Limits Serial Performance Scaling clock speed (business as usual) will not work High performance serial processors waste power -Speculation, dynamic dependence checking, etc. burn power -Implicit parallelism discovery More transistors, but not faster serial processors Concurrent systems are more power efficient –Dynamic power is proportional to V 2 fC –Increasing frequency (f) also increases supply voltage (V)  cubic effect –Increasing cores increases capacitance (C) but only linearly –Save power by lowering clock speed

45 45 Revolution in Processors Chip density is continuing increase ~2x every 2 years Clock speed is not Number of processor cores may double instead Power is under control, no longer growing

46 46 Parallelism in 2013? These arguments are no longer theoretical All major processor vendors are producing multicore chips -Every machine will soon be a parallel machine -To keep doubling performance, parallelism must double Which (commercial) applications can use this parallelism? -Do they have to be rewritten from scratch? Will all programmers have to be parallel programmers? -New software model needed -Try to hide complexity from most programmers – eventually -In the meantime, need to understand it Computer industry betting on this big change, but does not have all the answers -Berkeley ParLab established to work on this

47 Memory is Not Keeping Pace Technology trends against a constant or increasing memory per core Memory density is doubling every three years; processor logic is every two Storage costs (dollars/Mbyte) are dropping gradually compared to logic costs Source: David Turek, IBM Cost of Computation vs. Memory Question: Can you double concurrency without doubling memory? Strong scaling: fixed problem size, increase number of processors Weak scaling: grow problem size proportionally to number of processors Source: IBM

53 Core Count

54 Moore’s Law reinterpreted Number of cores per chip can double every two years Clock speed will not increase (possibly decrease) Need to deal with systems with millions of concurrent threads Need to deal with inter-chip parallelism as well as intra-chip parallelism

55 55 Principles of Parallel Computing Finding enough parallelism (Amdahl’s Law) Granularity – how big should each parallel task be Locality – moving data costs more than arithmetic Load balance – don’t want 1K processors to wait for one slow one Coordination and synchronization – sharing data safely Performance modeling/debugging/tuning All of these things makes parallel programming even harder than sequential programming.

56 56 “Automatic” Parallelism in Modern Machines Bit level parallelism -within floating point operations, etc. Instruction level parallelism (ILP) -multiple instructions execute per clock cycle Memory system parallelism -overlap of memory operations with computation OS parallelism -multiple jobs run in parallel on commodity SMPs Limits to all of these -- for very high performance, need user to identify, schedule and coordinate parallel tasks

57 57 Amdahl’s law: Finding Enough Parallelism Suppose only part of an application seems parallel Amdahl’s law -Let s be the fraction of work done sequentially, so (1-s) is fraction parallelizable. -P = number of processors. Speedup(P) = Time(1)/Time(P) <= 1/(s + (1-s)/P) <= 1/s Even if the parallel part speeds up perfectly, we may be limited by the sequential portion of code. Ex: if only s = 1%, then speedup <= 100  not worth it using more than p = 100 processors

58 58 Overhead of Parallelism Given enough parallel work, this is the most significant barrier to getting desired speedup. Parallelism overheads include: -cost of starting a thread or process -cost of communicating shared data -cost of synchronizing -extra (redundant) computation Each of these can be in the range of milliseconds (= millions of flops) on some systems Tradeoff: Algorithm needs sufficiently large units of work to run fast in parallel (i.e. large granularity), but not so large that there is not enough parallel work.

59 59 Locality and Parallelism Large memories are slow, fast memories are small. Storage hierarchies are large and fast on average. Parallel processors, collectively, have large, fast memories -- the slow accesses to “remote” data we call “communication”. Algorithm should do most work on local data. Proc Cache L2 Cache L3 Cache Memory Conventional Storage Hierarchy Proc Cache L2 Cache L3 Cache Memory Proc Cache L2 Cache L3 Cache Memory potential interconnects

60 60 Load Imbalance Load imbalance is the time that some processors in the system are idle due to -insufficient parallelism (during that phase). -unequal size tasks. Examples of the latter -adapting to “interesting parts of a domain”. -tree-structured computations. -fundamentally unstructured problems -Adaptive numerical methods in PDE (adaptivity and parallelism seem to conflict). Algorithm needs to balance load -but techniques to balance load often reduce locality -Sometimes can determine work load, divide up evenly, before starting -“Static Load Balancing” -Sometimes work load changes dynamically, need to rebalance dynamically -“Dynamic Load Balancing”

61 61 Measuring Performance: Real Performance? 0.1 1 10 100 1,000 20002004 Teraflops 1996 Peak Performance grows exponentially, a la Moore’s Law l In 1990’s, peak performance increased 100x; in 2000’s, it will increase 1000x But efficiency (the performance relative to the hardware peak) has declined l was 40-50% on the vector supercomputers of 1990s l now as little as 5-10% on parallel supercomputers of today Close the gap through... l Mathematical methods and algorithms that achieve high performance on a single processor and scale to thousands of processors l More efficient programming models and tools for massively parallel supercomputers Performance Gap Peak Performance Real Performance

62 62 Performance Levels Peak advertised performance (PAP) -You can’t possibly compute faster than this speed LINPACK -The “hello world” program for parallel computing -Solve Ax=b using Gaussian Elimination, highly tuned Gordon Bell Prize winning applications performance -The right application/algorithm/platform combination plus years of work Average sustained applications performance -What one reasonable can expect for standard applications When reporting performance results, these levels are often confused, even in reviewed publications
