Tools and Methods for HPC Application Performance and Energy Analysis (Upcoming)
Abstract
As we enter the post-exascale era, energy has become a critical new dimension
for HPC applications beyond traditional performance metrics. This creates a
need for new classes of tools and methods that help application developers
incorporate energy considerations into their efforts to extract maximum
efficiency from underlying HPC systems.
In addressing this need, I will introduce OLCF’s ongoing efforts in enabling
BYOM-style monitoring tools and EDP-based metrics. These are specifically
designed to help HPC application developers balance energy and performance
considerations in ways that align with system-level optimization goals such as
high utilization and maximum operational efficiency. Drawing from preliminary
studies across varied application scenarios, I will demonstrate how
energy-aware optimizations manifest under different facility goals and show the
crucial role of user-driven tools guided by these metrics in achieving
System-wide efficiency improvements.
