[LA-SiGMA-TESC] TESC (Technologies of Extreme Scale Computing) seminar on Thursday (11/5)

[Wei P Feinstein]

Dear all,

Technologies of Extreme Scale Computing (TESC) group will have a seminar this Thursday (11/5) at 12:00pm-1:00pm in 1034 Digital Media Center.

Ye Fang, a graduate student from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will give a presentation.  The title of his talk is "Towards Heterogeneous Task Scheduling and Performance Modeling".


Abstract:


This presentation is based on an extended research on Geauxdock project. The Geuxdock software implements the state-of-art ligand-protein docking simulation on heterogeneous computers, and enables simultaneous task distribution on multi-core CPUs and many-core Xeon Phis and GPUs. However, different computation tasks have different performances on the heterogeneous platforms, thus, task scheduling is critical to the overall performance. We use a heuristic work sharing algorithm to select the best task for the most suitable architecture at run time.  Our algorithm was benchmarked against different static task scheduling algorithms including Branch-bound search, MET, MCT, and Min-Min.
