The SPAD test:循环级投机并行化方法

传统的并行编译技术能够在编译期间进行相关性分析,有效地并行化循环程序,但是对于程序运行时潜在的并行性却无能为力.因此,并行编译技术必须使用实时依赖分析技术,尽可能挖掘循环级并行性.本文提出仿射依赖关系,消除了循环迭代依赖;基于投机并行思想,提出了SPAD方法.实例分析表明,SPAD是有效的.与LRPD和SPNT方法相比较,SPAD做了重要的改进,因此是更通用的投机并行化方案.     

面向申威异构架构的并行代码自动生成

异构架构逐渐成为高性能计算领域的主流架构,但相较于同构多核架构,其硬件结构及存储层次更为复杂,程序编写更为困难.先进的优化编译器可以协助程序开发人员实现更为高效的代码,降低程序开发复杂度.多面体编译模型通过抽象分析将程序抽象成空间多面体表示形式,能够将多种循环变换与硬件映射相结合,并面向特定体系结构生成相应的代码.设计实现了一个面向国产申威异构架构的并行代码自动生成系统,采用“源-源”编译模式,基于多面体编译模型实现.系统针对申威异构架构特点将程序计算过程进行硬件部署,同时实现数据传输与内存空间的自动管理.实验基于Polybench测试集中线性代数相关用例进行测试.结果表明,利用代码自动生成系统生成的异构并行代码能够在申威异构平台上正确运行,并能够有效发挥申威异构平台的性能,基于申威异构平台利用64线程加速计算的平均加速比达到了539.16倍.

面向MPI代码生成的Open64编译器后端

随着计算机体系结构的发展,分布式存储结构以其良好的扩展性逐渐占据了高性能计算机体系结构市场的主导地位.为了将现有的串行程序转换为能够在高性能计算机上运行的并行程序,研究人员提出了并行化编译器.然而,当前面向分布存储并行系统的编译器发展却相对较慢,而面向共享存储并行系统的编译器及其相应技术已逐渐成熟.一种开发面向分布存储并行系统编译器的可行方法是改进现有的面向共享存储并行系统的编译器,使其自动生成能够在分布存储结构高性能计算机上运行的MPI(Message Passing Interface)并行程序.因此,该文为面向共享存储并行系统的编译器Open64设计并实现了一个支持MPI代码生成的后端.根据分布式并行化编译的特点,主要从自动生成计算划分、改进循环优化和自动生成MPI并行代码3个方面对Open64进行了改进,使其能够实现面向分布存储的并行化编译.实验测试利用带有MPI后端的Open64对串行程序进行编译,生成的MPI并行代码可直接运行在具有分布存储结构的高性能计算机上.通过将该MPI并行代码的执行效率与传统面向分布存储并行系统编译器生成的MPI代码效率进行比较,并行效率有明显的提升.     

基于LLVM Pass的复杂嵌套循环自动并行化框架

随着多核处理器的普及应用,针对嵌入式遗留系统中串行代码的自动并行化方法是研究热点.其中,针对具有非完美嵌套结构、非仿射依赖关系特征的复杂嵌套循环的自动并行化方法存在技术挑战.提出了一种基于LLVMPass的复杂嵌套循环的自动并行化框架(CNLPF).首先,提出了一种复杂嵌套循环的表示模型,即循环结构树,并将嵌套循环的正则区域自动转换为循环结构树表示;然后,对循环结构树进行数据依赖分析,构建循环内和循环间的依赖关系;最后,基于OpenMP共享内存的编程模型生成并行的循环程序.针对SPEC2006数据集中包含近500个复杂嵌套循环的6个程序案例,分别对其进行复杂嵌套循环占比统计和并行性能加速测试.结果表明,提出的自动并行化框架可以处理LLVMPolly无法优化的复杂嵌套循环,增强了LLVM的并行编译优化能力,且该方法结合Polly的组合优化,比单独采用Polly优化的加速效果提升了9%-43%.

View-based model-driven architecture for enhancing maintainability of data access services

In modern service-oriented architectures, database access is done by a special type of services, the so-called data access services (DAS). Though, particularly in data-intensive applications, using and developing DAS are very common today, the link between the DAS and their implementation, e.g. a layer of data access objects (DAOs) encapsulating the database queries, still is not sufficiently elaborated, yet. As a result, as the number of DAS grows, finding the desired DAS for reuse and/or associated documentation can become an impossible task. In this paper we focus on bridging this gap between the DAS and their implementation by presenting a view-based, model-driven data access architecture (VMDA) managing models of the DAS, DAOs and database queries in a queryable manner. Our models support tailored views of different stakeholders and are scalable with all types of DAS implementations. In this paper we show that our view-based and model driven architecture approach can enhance software development productivity and maintainability by improving DAS documentation. Moreover, our VMDA opens a wide range of applications such as evaluating DAS usage for DAS performance optimization. Furthermore, we provide tool support and illustrate the applicability of our VMDA in a large-scale case study. Finally, we quantitatively prove that our approach performs with acceptable response times.     

A pragmatic multi-method investigation of discrepant technological events: Coping,attributions, and ‘accidental’ learning

Discrepant technological events or situations that entail a problem, a misunderstanding or a difficulty with the Information Technology (IT) being employed, are common in the workplace, and can lead to frustration and avoidance behaviors. Little is known, however, about how individuals cope with these events. This paper examines these events by using a multi-method pragmatic approach informed by coping theory. The results of two studies – a critical incident study and an experiment – serve to build and test, respectively, a theoretical model that posits that individuals use a variety of strategies when dealing with these events: they experience negative emotions, make external attributions, and adopt engagement coping strategies directed at solving the event, eventually switching to a disengagement coping strategy when they feel they have no control over the situation. Furthermore, users’ efforts may result in ‘accidental’ learning as they try to overcome the discrepant IT events through engagement coping. The paper ends with a discussion of the results in light of existing literature, future opportunities for research, and implications for practice.     

The Distributed Time-Triggered Simulation Scheme: Core Principles and Supporting Execution Engine

Distributed real-time simulation is a young technology field but its practice is under increasing demands. In recent years the author and his collaborators have been establishing a new approach called the distributed time-triggered simulation (DTS) scheme which is conceptually simple and easy to use but widely applicable. The concept was initiated in the course of developing a new-generation object-oriented real-time programming scheme called the time-triggered message-triggered object (TMO) programming scheme. Some fundamental issues inherent in distributed real-time simulation that were learned during recent experimental studies are discussed along with some approaches for resolving the issues. An execution engine developed to support both the TMOs engaged in control computation and the TMOs engaged in DTS is also discussed along with its possible extensions that will enable significantly larger-scale DTSs.
