3 Classificaton of MIMD Architectures Physical memory arrangement shared memory distributed memory Address space global local Programming model shared address space message passing Communication structure Memory coupling Message coupling Synchronization semaphores barriers Latency treatment latency hiding latency minimization Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 3 / 37

4 Distributed Memory: MP P C M P C M Connection Network CN Multi processors have a local address space: Each processor can access only its associated memory. Interaction with other processors exclusively by sending of messages. Processors, memory and cache are standard components: Full utilization of the price advantage of high quantity of units. Connection network ranging from Fast Ethernet to Infiniband. Approach with highes scalability: IBM BlueGene > K processors Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 4 / 37

5 Distributed Memory: Message Passing Processes communicate data between distributed address spaces Explicit message passing is necessary Send-/Receive operations Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 5 / 37

6 A Generic Parallel Computer Architecture Compute Node Compute Node CPU MEM MEM CPU I/O NI Connection NI I/O Network R Data R I/O Node R Wiring R Compute Node I/O NI NI MEM I/O I/O I/O CPU Generic approach of a scalable parallel computer with distributed memory Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 6 / 37

7 Scalability Parameters Parameters, that drive the scalability of a computing system: Bandwidth [MB/s] Latency [µs] Costs [$] Physical size [m 2,m 3 ] Power consumption [W ] Fault tolerance / recovery abilities A truely scalable architecture should avoid any hard limits! Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 7 / 37

8 Influence of Parallel Software? from Culler, Singh, Gupta: Parallel Computer Architecture Although the parallel architecture scales scalable software is prerequisite for scalable numerical computation. Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 8 / 37

9 Message Passing Memory block (of variable length) shall be copied from one memory to another More precise: From the address space of one process to the address space of another process (running on a different processor) The connection network is packet oriented. Each message is subdivided in packets of fixed length (e. g. 32 byte to 4 kbyte) Tail Usage Data Head Head: target processor, tail: check sum Communication protocol: acknowledgment whether packet has arrived valid, flow control Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 9 / 37

10 Message Passing Layer model (Hierarchy of protocols): Pi_i Pi_j Operating System Network Driver Operating System Network Driver Network Interface Network Interface Connection Network Model of transmission time: t mess (n) = t s + n t b. t s : setup time (latency), t b : time per byte, /t b : bandwidth, dependent on protocol Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 / 37

11 Network Topology I (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (a) full connected, (b) star, (c) array (d) hypercube, (e) torus, (f) folded torus (f) Hypercube: of dimension d has 2 d processors. Processor p is connected to q if their binary representation differs in exactly one bit. Network node: Earlier (before 99) this was the processor itself, nowadays it is a dedicated communication processor. Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 / 37

13 Store & Forward Routing Store-and-forward routing: Message of length n is subdivided into packets of length N. Pipelining on packet level: Packet is stored completely in the network node. M M NN NN NN2 NNd NNd Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 3 / 37

14 Store & Forward Routing Transmission of a packet: Source Target Time Routing Routing Routing Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 4 / 37

15 Store & Forward Routing Run time: ( n ) t SF (n, N, d) = t s + d(t h + Nt b )+ N (t h + Nt b ) ( = t s + t h d + n )+t N b (n+n(d )). t s : time, that is needed on source and target computer until the network is instructed with the message transmission, respectively until the receiving process is informed. This is the software share of the protocol. t h : time that is necessary to transmit the first byte of a message from a network node to another one (node latency, hop time). t b : time for transmission of a byte from network node to network node d: Hops to reach the target node. Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 5 / 37

16 Cut-Through Routing Cut-through routing or wormhole routing: Packets are not buffered, each word (so called flit) is routed immediately to the next network node. Transmission of a packet: Source Target Routing Routing Routing Time 3 2 Run time: t CT (n, N, d) = t s + t h d + t b n Time for short message (n = N): t CT = t s + dt h + Nt b. Because of dt h t s (Hardware!) nearly distance independent Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 6 / 37

17 Deadlock In packet transmiting network the danger of a store-and-forward deadlock exists: D to A C to D to B A to C B Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 7 / 37

18 Deadlock Together with cut-through routing: Deadlock free dimension order routing. Example 2D grid: Partition network into +x, x, +y and y networks each with individual buffers. Message is routed first in the sender row, then in the receiver column. Stefan Lang (IWR) Simulation on High-Performance Computers WS 5/6 8 / 37
