Title : Performance Model for Predicting Run-time of a GPGPU Application

Abstract:

Due to the fact that the reliability of very large scaled systems is
inversely related to the number of computing elements, fault tolerance has
become a major concern in high performance computing (HPC) including the
most recent deployment with GPUs. Many fault tolerance strategies, such as
checkpoint/restart mechanism, have been studied in order to mitigate
failures and the effectiveness.

This talk provides an idea to model techniques that explore interplay
between application performance and system reliability. More importantly,
these two parameters play significant roles toward an optimal outcome in
mitigating faults in a very large system. We taken into account in our
fault tolerance strategies that balance between the application
time-to-completion, and the time-to-failure (TTF) of the system. The former
factor can be estimated by a performance model while the latter can be
approximated by a reliability model.
