Non-determinism in MPI applications negatively impacts the debugging and correctness of high performance computing (HPC) and scientific simulations. To help developers and scientists study and understand sources of non-determinism, we present ANACIN-X, a software framework for quantifying point-to-point communication non-determinism in MPI applications as graph kernel distances. ANACIN-X includes three benchmark applications for testing (i.e., message race, algebraic multigrid, and unstructured mesh).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
