Application restructuring and performance portability on shared virtual memory and hardware-coherent multiprocessors
1997
SIGPLAN notices
Preserved Fulltext
This paper studies this issue of performance portability, with the commodity communication architecture of interest being page-grained shared virtual memory. ...
We begin with applications that perform well on moderate-scale hardware cache-coherent systems, and nd that they do not do so well on SVM systems. ...
Acknowledgment We w ould like to thank Angelos Bilas and Liviu Iftode for their help with the SVM simulators. ...

In this paper we examine how application performance scales on a state-of-the-art shared virtual memory (SVM) system on a cluster with 64 processors, comprising 4-way SMPs connected with a fast system ...
We find that while the level of application restructuring needed is quite high compared to applications that perform well on a hardware-coherent system of this scale, and larger problem sizes are needed ...
Conclusions We have investigated the scaling of application performance on a shared virtual memory cluster of SMPs for a wide range of application classes, using a hardware-coherent SGI Ori-gin2000 multiprocessor ...
