Prediction of Runtime Parameters of Parallel Chemistry Applications via Active and Generative Learning

In this work, we develop two main Machine Learning based approaches to predict the runtime parameters of highly scalable parallel chemistry computations.These approaches employ active and generative learning together with the empirically determined gradient boosted regression tree models chosen among a rich suite of machine learning models. When evaluated on Coupled-Cluster with Singles and Doubles computations, our models achieve a mean absolute error percentage (MAPE) as low as 0.023 and a coefficient of determination as high as 99.9%. Furthermore, when combined with active learning to mitigate the lack of large amounts of training data, our models score a MAPE about 0.2 with 20-25% of the original dataset.

Is Sparse Matrix Reordering Effective for Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication?

This work evaluates the impact of sparse matrix reordering on the performance of sparse matrix-vector multiplication across different multicore CPU platforms. Reordering can significantly enhance performance by optimizing the non-zero element patterns to reduce total data movement and improve the load-balancing. We examine how these gains vary over different CPUs for different reordering strategies, focusing on both sequential and parallel execution. We address multiple aspects, including appropriate measurement methodology, comparison across different kinds of reordering strategies, consistency across machines, and impact of load imbalance.

Efficient distributed algorithms for Convolutional Neural Networks

Several efficient distributed algorithms have been developed for matrix-matrix multiplication: the 3D algorithm, the 2D SUMMA algorithm, and the 2.5D algorithm. Each of these algorithms was independently conceived and they trade-off memory needed per node and the inter-node data communication volume. The convolutional neural network (CNN) computation may be viewed as a generalization of matrix-multiplication combined with neighborhood stencil computations. We develop communication-efficient distributed-memory algorithms for CNNs that are analogous to the 2D/2.5D/3D algorithms for matrix-matrix multiplication.
