Scaling application properties to exascale
Giovanni Mariani, Andreea Anghel, Rik Jongerius, Gero Dittmann · 2015
Exascale computing systems will execute computationally intensive tasks on unprecedented amounts of data. Tuning the design of such systems for a specific application or for an application domain is a challenging task as it is not yet possible to analyze the actual run-time behavior of exascale applications. Run-time properties, such as the memory access pattern, the available instruction-level parallelism and the instruction mix, are valuable information for architects to tune the processing elements, the memory system and the communication infrastructure.
