[san-tech][03204] Graph 500 Complete Results - June 2011公開
[san-tech][03199] Re: Graph 500ベンチマークをソフトウェアで高速化, E.T. International, Inc. (ETI)
------------------------------------------------
何故か、Graph 500の 2011年 6月版 (最新版) が未だ公開されてないのですが、
今まで紹介してきた Cray XMTや Conveyはメモリアクセスをハードウェア的に
工夫して、Graph問題で強みを発揮してますが、ソフトウェアで高速化のプレス
リリースです:
"E.T. International’s SWARM Runtime System Achieves Significant
Performance Improvements on Graph 500 for Intel Endeavor"
June 14, 2011
http://www.etinternational.com/index.php/news-and-events/press-releases/june-14-2011-e-t-international-s-swarm-runtime-system-achieves/
"E.T. International, Inc. (ETI), a provider of system software
solutions for hybrid and many-core hardware architectures, today
announced significant speed improvements of the Graph 500 benchmarks
on the Intel Endeavor supercomputer when using ETI's SWARM
(SWift Adaptive Runtime Machine) system software.
ETI's SWARM runtime system improves the Graph 500 execution time by
up to 11-fold over MPI. When compared with the published 2010
Graph 500 list, this result would put SWARM into the top two.
Specifically, at 256 nodes (Scale 33), it delivers 6.9 giga-edges
per second (GE/s), and at 128 nodes (Scale 32), 4.2 GE/s.
ちなみに、November 2010版の 1位 ~ 3位は

SWARMの開発は Intelと共同ですが、冒頭のプレスリリースで:
"As a software partner in the Intel-led team for DARPA's Ubiquitous
High Performance Computing (UHPC) program, ETI developed the SWARM
runtime system technology for the UHPC initiative and improved the
Graph 500 benchmark performance on the Endeavor supercomputer by
using this system software instead of MPI. Intel's UHPC team,
jointly funded by Intel and DARPA, includes ETI Vice President of
R&D Dr. Rishi Khan among its principal investigators."
