Vancouver 2: Improving Programmability of Contemporary Heterogeneous Architectures, Final Report
Univ. of Oregon, Eugene, OR (United States), Allen D. Malony · 2017
The University of Oregon (UO) was a partner in the Vancouver 2 project together with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign (UIUC), and the Geor- gia Institute of Technology (GT). UO’s objective in the project was to advance the performance technology for evolving heterogenous computing systems, especially for exascale platforms. During the project period, our efforts focused on the advances taking place in manycore and accelera- tor processors, specifically those found in GPU and MIC devices. In addition to the design and development of novel performance measurement and analysis techniques, UO demonstrated these capabilities on real HPC applications and current generation heterogeneous machines. The following final report summarizes our accomplishments during the Vancouver 2 project, highlighting research work in the recent year (Year 3).
