GASNet-EX RMA Communication Performance on Recent Supercomputing Systems
DescriptionPartitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming models, typified by systems such as UPC and Fortran coarrays, expose one-sided Remote Memory Access (RMA) communication as a key building block for HPC applications. Architectural trends in supercomputing make such programming models increasingly attractive, and newer, more sophisticated models such as UPC++, Legion and Chapel that rely upon similar communication paradigms are gaining popularity.
GASNet-EX is a portable, open-source, high-performance communication library designed to efficiently support the networking requirements of PGAS runtime systems and other alternative models in emerging exascale machines. We present microbenchmark results which demonstrate the RMA performance of GASNet-EX is competitive with MPI implementations on four recent, high-impact, production HPC systems. The networks measured are representative of hardware currently used in six of the top ten fastest supercomputers in the world, and all of the exascale systems on the U.S. DOE road map.
