--- _id: '165' abstract: - lang: eng text: A broad spectrum of applications can be accelerated by offloading computation intensive parts to reconfigurable hardware. However, to achieve speedups, the number of loop it- erations (trip count) needs to be sufficiently large to amortize offloading overheads. Trip counts are frequently not known at compile time, but only at runtime just before entering a loop. Therefore, we propose to generate code for both the CPU and the coprocessor, and defer the offloading decision to the application runtime. We demonstrate how a toolflow, based on the LLVM compiler framework, can automatically embed dynamic offloading de- cisions into the application code. We perform in-depth static and dynamic analysis of pop- ular benchmarks, which confirm the general potential of such an approach. We also pro- pose to optimize the offloading process by decoupling the runtime decision from the loop execution (decision slack). The feasibility of our approach is demonstrated by a toolflow that automatically identifies suitable data-parallel loops and generates code for the FPGA coprocessor of a Convey HC-1. We evaluate the integrated toolflow with representative loops executed for different input data sizes. author: - first_name: Gavin Francis full_name: Vaz, Gavin Francis id: '30332' last_name: Vaz - first_name: Heinrich full_name: Riebler, Heinrich id: '8961' last_name: Riebler - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: Vaz GF, Riebler H, Kenter T, Plessl C.

Approaches for managing and scheduling tasks to heterogeneous resources are still subject to research. Although queuing systems have recently been extended to support accelerator resources, a general solution that manages heterogeneous resources at the operating system- level to exploit a global view of the system state is still missing.In this paper we present a user space scheduler that enables task scheduling and migration on heterogeneous processing resources in Linux. Using run queues for available resources we perform scheduling decisions based on the system state and on task characterization from earlier measurements. With a pro- gramming pattern that supports the integration of checkpoints into applications, we preempt tasks and migrate them between three very different compute resources. Considering static and dynamic workload scenarios, we show that this approach can gain up to 17% performance, on average 7%, by effectively avoiding idle resources. We demonstrate that a work-conserving strategy without migration is no suitable alternative. author: - first_name: Achim full_name: Lösch, Achim id: '43646' last_name: Lösch - first_name: Tobias full_name: Beisel, Tobias last_name: Beisel - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 - first_name: Marco full_name: Platzner, Marco id: '398' last_name: Platzner citation: ama: 'Lösch A, Beisel T, Kenter T, Plessl C, Platzner M.

In order to decrease the computational effort, a reduced order model is introduced using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and a corresponding Galerkin Projection. A global, derivative free multiobjective optimization algorithm is applied to compute the Pareto set (i.e. the set of optimal compromises) for the concurrent objectives minimization of flow field fluctuations and control cost. The method is illustrated for a 2D flow around a cylinder at Re = 100. author: - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Peitz, Sebastian last_name: Peitz - first_name: Michael full_name: Dellnitz, Michael last_name: Dellnitz citation: ama: Peitz S, Dellnitz M.

In this work, we compare the resulting performance of two design concepts that in different ways promise such increased productivity. As common starting point, we employ a kernel-centric design approach, where computational hotspots in an application are identified and individually accelerated on FPGA. By means of a complex stereo matching application, we evaluate two fundamentally different design philosophies and approaches for implementing the required kernels on FPGAs. In the first implementation approach, we designed individually specialized data flow kernels in a spatial programming language for a Maxeler FPGA platform; in the alternative design approach, we target a vector coprocessor with large vector lengths, which is implemented as a form of programmable overlay on the application FPGAs of a Convey HC-1. We assess both approaches in terms of overall system performance, raw kernel performance, and performance relative to invested resources. After compensating for the effects of the underlying hardware platforms, the specialized dataflow kernels on the Maxeler platform are around 3x faster than kernels executing on the Convey vector coprocessor. In our concrete scenario, due to trade-offs between reconfiguration overheads and exposed parallelism, the advantage of specialized dataflow kernels is reduced to around 2.5x. article_number: '859425' author: - first_name: Tobias full_name: Kenter, Tobias id: '3145' last_name: Kenter - first_name: Henning full_name: Schmitz, Henning last_name: Schmitz - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: Kenter T, Schmitz H, Plessl C.

BAARis based on the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure and has aclient-server architecture. The client runs the program to beaccelerated in an environment which allows program analysisand profiling. Program parts which are identified as suitable forthe available accelerator are exported and sent to the server.The server optimizes these program parts for the acceleratorand provides RPC execution for the client. The client transformsits program to utilize accelerated execution on the server foroffloaded program parts. We evaluate our work with a proofof-concept implementation of BAAR that uses an Intel XeonPhi 5110P as the acceleration target and performs automaticoffloading, parallelization and vectorization of suitable programparts. The practicality of BAAR for real-world examples is shownbased on a study of stencil codes. Our results show a speedup ofup to 4 without any developer-provided hints and 5.77 withhints over the same code compiled with the Intel Compiler atoptimization level O2 and running on an Intel Xeon E5-2670machine. Based on our insights gained during implementationand evaluation we outline future directions of research, e.g.,offloading more fine-granular program parts than functions, amore sophisticated communication mechanism or introducing onstack-replacement. author: - first_name: Marvin full_name: Damschen, Marvin last_name: Damschen - first_name: Christian full_name: Plessl, Christian id: '16153' last_name: Plessl orcid: 0000-0001-5728-9982 citation: ama: 'Damschen M, Plessl C.
