In this video from the 2016 OpenFabrics Workshop, Zili Zheng from LBNL presents: UPC++. “UPC++ is a parallel programming extension for developing C++ applications with the partitioned global address space (PGAS) model. UPC++ has demonstrated excellent performance and scalability with applications and benchmarks such as global seismic tomography, Hartree-Fock, BoxLib AMR framework and more. In this talk, we will give an overview of UPC++ and discuss the opportunities and challenges of leveraging modern network features.”
UPC and OpenSHMEM PGAS Models on GPU Clusters
May 20, 2015 by
“Learn about extensions that enable efficient use of Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) Models like OpenSHMEM and UPC on supercomputing clusters with NVIDIA GPUs. PGAS models are gaining attention for providing shared memory abstractions that make it easy to develop applications with dynamic and irregular communication patterns. However, the existing UPC and OpenSHMEM standards do not allow communication calls to be made directly on GPU device memory. This talk discusses simple extensions to the OpenSHMEM and UPC models to address this issue.”
