The execution rate of floating-point operations has typically increased by an order of magnitude every four years during the last 30 years of modern computing. This exponential growth in terms of computational power has benefited from the hardware technology scaling. However, memory and storage systems have not maintained the same rate of technology scaling. Scientific applications that are traditionally compute-bound have witnessed a paradigm shift toward an I/O-bound regime. This has been further exacerbated due to the limited on-node memory capacity, where I/O operations become a major bottleneck for scaling up critical simulations.
Tariq will present his software solution to tackle this daunting challenge of reducing expensive data motion that is key to maintaining cores busy and achieving the expected performance. Good luck Tariq!
