| Abstract | Next-generation HPC computing platforms are likely to be characterized by significant, unpredictable nonuniformities in execution time among compute nodes and cores. The resulting load imbalances from this nonuniformity are expected to arise from a variety of sources—manufacturing discrepancies, dynamic power management, runtime component failure, OS jitter, software-mediated resiliency, and TLB/- cache performance variations, for example. It is well understood that existing algorithms with frequent points of bulk synchronization will perform relatively poorly in the presence of these sources of process nonuniformity. Thus, recasting classic bulk synchronous algorithms into more asynchronous, coarse-grained parallelism is a critical area of research for next-generation computing. We propose a class of parallel algorithms for explicit stencil computations that can tolerate these nonuniformities by decoupling per process communication and computation in order for each process to progress asynchronously while maintaining solution correctness. These algorithms are benchmarked with a 1D domain decomposed (“slabbed”) implementation of the 2D heat equation as a model problem, and are tested in the presence of simulated nonuniform process execution rates. The resulting performance is compared to a classic bulk synchronous implementation of the model problem. Results show that the runtime of this article’s algorithm on a machine with simulated process nonuniformities is 5--99% slower than the runtime of its classic counterpart on a machine free of nonuniformities. However, when both algorithms are run on a machine with comparable synthetic process nonuniformities, this article’s algorithm is 1--37 times faster than its classic counterpart. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
