Predictive Resource Management for Next-Generation High-Performance Computing Heterogeneous Platforms

摘要

High-Performance Computing (HPC) is rapidly moving towards the adoption of nodes characterized by an heterogeneous set of processing resources. This has already shown benefits in terms of both performance and energy efficiency. On the other side, heterogeneous systems are challenging from the application development and the resource management perspective. In this work, we discuss some outcomes of the MANGO project, showing the results of the execution of real applications on a emulated deeply heterogeneous systems for HPC. Moreover, we assessed the achievements of a proposed resource allocation policy, aiming at identifying a priori the best resource allocation options for a starting application.
