Evaluation of the performance portability layer of different linear solver packages with alien, an open generic and extensible linear algebra framework.

Résumé

Applications to solve large and complex partial derivative equation systems often rely nowadays on frameworks like Arcane, Dune, Feel++. Linear solver packages like PETSc or Trilinos are used to manage linear systems and provide access to a wide range of algorithms. With the evolution of High-Performance Computing, the variety of the hardware features available in new architectures has considerably increased. ARM processors, AMD, Intel and Nvidia GP-GPUs, TPU and FPGA devices are now common. To handle the induced complexity, different strategies are adopted in each linear solver framework. One of them consists in introducing a new layer that provides abstractions to manage the performance portability and to enable several parallel programming models. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of linear solver packages that rely on tools like SYCL [16], Kokkos [8] or HARTS [11] to handle runtime systems like OpenMP, TBB, CUDA,.. .. A simulator to solve advection-diffusion problems has been developed with ALIEN, a C++ framework that provides a high level and unified API to handle large distributed matrices and vectors. We have benchmarked different solver algorithms, and have evaluated the efficiency of their implementations, and their capability to perform on different architectures, for instance, large number of cores, GP-GPU accelerators, or processors with large SIMD instructions.
