[LA-SiGMA-LSU] GPU Talk by Supada Laosooksathit - Wednesday, 11AM-12PM

[sjlee at cct.lsu.edu]

Hello Everyone,

Supada Laosooksathit, a candidate for replacing Zhifeng Yun, GPU Team  
Lead is scheduled to give a talk tomorrow, June 5th at 11am in 338  
Johnston Hall. The title of her talk is "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.

Please see attached flyer.
