treat each individual in a personalized manner, as well as the environment of which they are part. The simulations have heterogeneous populations, considering different age groups, socioeconomic differences and number of members per family, contacts and movements intra and inter the sub-populations (favelas and non-favelas), numbers of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and study different scenarios to show how the interventions can influence the spread of the virus in the population of simulated environments.
GPUs has been widely used in scientific computing, as by offering exceptional performance as by power-efficient hardware. Its position established in high-performance and scientific computing communities has increased the urgency of understanding the power cost of GPU usage in accurate measurements. For this, the use of internal sensors are extremely important. In this work, we employ the GPU sensors to obtain high-resolution power profiles of real and benchmark applications. We wrote our own tools to query the sensors of two NVIDIA GPUs from different generations and compare the accuracy of them. Also, we compare the power profile of GPU with CPU using IPMItool.
Performance and energy efficiency are now critical concerns in high performance scientific computing. It is expected that requirements of the scientific problem should guide the orchestration of different techniques of energy saving, in order to improve the balance between energy consumption and application performance. To enable this balance, we propose the development of an autonomous framework to make this orchestration and present the ongoing research to this development, more specifically, focusing in the characterization of the scientific applications and the performance modeling tasks using Machine Learning.
Understanding the computational impact of scientific applications on computational architectures through runtime should guide the use of computational resources in high-performance computing systems. In this work, we propose an analysis of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to gather knowledge about the performance of these applications through hardware events and derived performance metrics. Nine NAS benchmarks were executed and the hardware events were collected. These experimental results were used to train a Neural Network, a Decision Tree Regressor and a Linear Regression focusing on predicting the runtime of scientific applications according to the performance metrics.
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.
