| Abstract | Dragonflies are recent network designs that are one of the most promising topologies for the Exascale effort due to their scalability and cost. While being able to achieve very high throughput under random uniform all-to-all traffic, this type of network can experience significant performance degradation for other common high performance computing workloads such as stencil (multi-dimensional nearest neighbor) patterns. Often, the lack of peak performance is caused by an insufficient understanding of the interaction between the workload and the network, and an insufficient understanding of how application specific task-to-node mapping strategies can serve as optimization vehicles. To address these issues, we propose a theoretical performance analysis framework that takes as inputs a network specification and a traffic demand matrix characterizing an arbitrary workload and is able to predict where bottlenecks will occur in the network and what their impact will be on the effective sustainable injection bandwidth. We then focus our analysis on a specific high-interest communication pattern, the multi-dimensional Cartesian nearest neighbor exchange, and provide analytic bounds (owing to bottlenecks in the remote links of the Dragonfly) on its expected performance across a multitude of possible mapping strategies. Finally, using a comprehensive set of simulations results, we validate the correctness of the theoretical approach and in the process address some misconceptions regarding Dragonfly network behavior and evaluation, (such as the choice of throughput maximization over workload completion time minimization as optimization objective) and the question of whether the standard notion of Dragonfly balance can be extended to workloads other than uniform random traffic. |

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.
