Develop Feedback System for Intelligent Dynamic Resource Allocation to Improve Application Performance

摘要

This report provides documentation for the completion of the Sandia Level II milestone Develop feedback system for intelligent dynamic resource allocation to improve application performance. This milestone demonstrates the use of a scalable data collection analysis and feedback system that enables insight into how an application is utilizing the hardware resources of a high performance computing (HPC) platform in a lightweight fashion. Further we demonstrate utilizing the same mechanisms used for transporting data for remote analysis and visualization to provide low latency run-time feedback to applications. The ultimate goal of this body of work is performance optimization in the face of the ever increasing size and complexity of HPC systems.
