VPREC to analyze the precision appetites and numerical abnormalities of several proxy applications

The third in a series of presentations from Roman Iakymchuk on work using tools to investigate mixed precision possibilities. He and his co-author Pablo de Oliveira Castro introduce an approach to address the issue of sustainable computations with computer arithmetic tools. They use the variable precision backend (VPREC) to identify parts of code that can benefit from smaller floating-point formats and show preliminary results on several proxy applications.

Sustainable and Reliable Computing with Tools: Analyzing Precision Appetites of CFD Applications with VerifiCarlo

Energy consumption constraints for large-scale computing encourage scientists to revise the architecture design of hardware but also applications, algorithms, as well as the underlying working/ storage precision. I will introduce an approach to address the issue of sustainable, but still reliable, computations from the perspective of computer arithmetic tools. We employ VerifiCarlo and its variable precision backend to identify the parts of the code that benefit from smaller floating-point formats. Finally, we show preliminary results on proxies of CFD applications.

MS4F – Cross-Cutting Aspects of Exploiting Exascale Platforms for High-Fidelity CFD in Turbulence Research

This minisymposium was chaired by a CEEC consortium member and contained the presentation of another CEEC consortium member. The arrival of exascale computing has opened up unprecedented simulation capabilities for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications. While offering high theoretical peak performance and high memory bandwidth, efficiently exploiting these systems necessitates complex programming models and significant programming investments .
