I wanted to highlight the ExaMPI’13 workshop at SC13<\/a>. It was a while ago but it is worth reporting!<\/p>\n

The workshop’s theme was “Exascale MPI” and the workshop addressed several topics on how to move MPI to the next big divisible-by-10^3 floating point number. Actually, for Exascale, it’s unclear if it’s only FLOPs, maybe it’s data now, but then, we easily have machines with Exabytes :-). Anyway, MPI is an viable candidate to run on future large-scale machines, maybe at a low level. <\/p>\n

A while ago, some colleagues and I summarized the issues that MPI faces in going to large scale: “MPI on Millions of Cores<\/a>“. The conclusion was that it’s possible to move forward but some non-scalable elements need to be removed or avoided in MPI. This was right on topic for this workshop, and indeed, several authors of the paper were speaking!<\/p>\n

The organizers invited me to give a keynote to kick off the event. I was talking about large-scale MPI and large-scale graph analysis and how this could be done in MPI. [Slides]<\/a><\/p>\n

The very nice organizers sent me some pictures that I want to share here:<\/p>\n


\nMy keynote on large-scale MPI and graph algorithms.<\/p>\n


\nThe gigantic room was well filled (I’d guess more than 50 people).<\/p>\n


\nJesper talking about the EPIGRAM project to address MPI needs for the future large scales.<\/p>\n


\nThe DEEP strategy of Julich using inter-communicators (the first users I know of).<\/p>\n


\nPavan on our heterogeneous future, very nice insights.<\/p>\n

All in all, a great workshop with a very good atmosphere. I received many good questions and had very good discussions afterwards. <\/p>\n

Kudos to the organizers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
