SLIDE 5 Collaborative Research Center 912: HAEC − Highly Adaptive Energy-Efficient Computing
Our Simulation Framework & State of the Art
State of the art Our framework
¨ Trace-driven simulation (TDS) ¨ No execution-based simulation
(replay)
¤ Offers increased accuracy ¤ Increases modeling complexity for the hybrid
interconnection networks
¨ Parallel TDS ¨ Hybrid (& dynamic) communication
network
¨ Trace format contains energy
measurements (performance metrics)
¨ Application AND system performance
AND energy consumption modeling
¨
TDS or use traces in some fashion
¨
TDS+Execution-Based Simulation (EBS, replay) (xSim, BigSim, MPI-NetSim, OMNEST, PSINS, SILAS, MPI-SIM)
¤ Offer scalability ¤ Avoid the need to model complex interconnection networks
¨
Sequential TDS (DIMEMAS, HeSSE, LogGOPSim, TaskSim, Tsim)
¨
Parallel TDS (xSim, BigSim, OMNEST, PSINS, SILAS, SIMCaN)
¨
Non-hybrid communication network (xSim, BigSim, DIMEMAS, LogGOPSim, SILAS, TaskSim, Tsim)
¨
Hybrid communication network (HeSSE, OMNEST)
¨
No focus on energy measurements
¨
Focus on I/O architectures: SIMCaN
¨
Application OR system performance modeling OR network modeling
