Chip-Multiprocessor using Data Driven Multithreading (DDM) and Conventional Microprocessors Cores

Abstract:
Data-Driven Multithreading (DDM) is a non-blocking multithreading execution model that tolerates inter-node latency by scheduling threads for execution based on data availability. In order to exploit the benefits of dataflow execution without the penalties of custom designed systems, we show how DDM may be implemented in systems equipped with regular off-the-shelf microprocessors. In addition, we use the characteristics of DDM scheduling to implement a cache management policy (CacheFlow) that further improves the performance.
In this presentation we show a brief evaluation of DDM and CacheFlow by simulating the execution of several SPLASH-2 scientific applications on a DDM network of workstations (D2NOW) with up to 32 nodes. The results are very encouraging as the speedup observed for a 16- and 32-node configuration was 14.4 and 26.0, respectively. In addition, we show how this work will be extended to the Chip-Multiprocessor architecture, as well as preliminary results for this new implementation.

Upcoming Events
Workshop “Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango” – 2nd Edition
Title: Workshop Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango – 2nd Edition
Dates: October 25-26, 2022
Location: This workshop will be held in a virtual way
The topic of this workshop is metabolism in general, with a special focus, although not exclusive, on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects, the workshop will also aim at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.
This workshop is being organised in the context of two projects, both with the Inria European Team Erable. One of the projects involves a partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP), in São Paulo, Brazil, more specifically the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences – Inria Associated Team Capoeira – and the other involves the Inesc-ID/IST in Portugal, ETH in Zürich and EMBL in Heidelberg – H2020 Twinning Project Olissipo.
The workshop is open to all members of these two projects but also, importantly, to the community in general.
The program and more details are available here.
