Content • Motivation • MPI2Java Concept • Performance Analysis • SimANet Application Scenarios APCC 2010 Matthias Vodel, University of Chemnitz, Germany, vodel@cs.tu-chemnitz.de -2-
High Performance Computing Motivation• Concept • Analysis • SimANet • High complex computing challenges in the field of: • Mathematics • Physics • Chemistry • Engineering • Informatics • Weather forecast Massive parallel computing power State of the art hardware Modern implementation languages APCC 2010 Matthias Vodel, University of Chemnitz, Germany, vodel@cs.tu-chemnitz.de -3-
MPI Standard Motivation• Concept • Analysis • SimANet • Message Passing Interface • Communication protocol for distributed • computing environments • MPI specifies communication features • Implemented in libraries • Usage by an defined API De facto standard for computer cluster programming MPICH represents a implementation of the MPI specification Performance-optimised libraries for C and Fortran Missing up-to-date implementation for modern languages (object-orientation, template-based design patterns) APCC 2010 Matthias Vodel, University of Chemnitz, Germany, vodel@cs.tu-chemnitz.de -4-
MPI Support for Java Motivation• Concept • Analysis • SimANet + platform-independent + no C-libraries required + minimal maintenance costs Pure Java Implementations JNI Implementations + usage of related, performance-optimised libraries + less implementation work + significant faster • complete reimplementation of the entire MPI specification • performance problems (higher abstraction level, minimal optimisations) • maintenance to keep the C-libraries • up-to-date • Installation on the target system hardware is more complex (library binaries not platform-independent) APCC 2010 Matthias Vodel, University of Chemnitz, Germany, vodel@cs.tu-chemnitz.de -5-
MPI Support for Java Motivation• Concept • Analysis • SimANet Pure Java Implementations JNI Implementations APCC 2010 Matthias Vodel, University of Chemnitz, Germany, vodel@cs.tu-chemnitz.de -6-
Why implementing anew MPI-Java interface?? Motivation• Concept • Analysis • SimANet Since 2003: no further development of existing projects JMPI significant slower than mpiJava mpiJava – bad exception / error handling – missing 64bit support actual cluster computer environment not supported! All Java-MPI libraries are not able to use MPI-2 features APCC 2010 Matthias Vodel, University of Chemnitz, Germany, vodel@cs.tu-chemnitz.de -7-
MPI2Java - Structure Motivation• Concept • Analysis • SimANet APCC 2010 Matthias Vodel, University of Chemnitz, Germany, vodel@cs.tu-chemnitz.de -8-
