FFTX-IRIS: Towards Performance Portability and Heterogeneity for SPIRAL Generated Code

Abstract

FFTX-IRIS is a dynamic system to efficiently utilize novel heterogeneous platforms. This system links two next-generation frameworks, FFTX and IRIS, to navigate the complexity of different hardware architectures. FFTX provides a runtime code generation framework for high-performance Fast Fourier Transform kernels. IRIS runtime provides portability and multi-device heterogeneity, allowing computation on any available compute resource. Together, FFTX-IRIS enables code generation, seamless portability, and performance without user involvement. We show the design of the FFTX-IRIS system along with an evaluation of various small FFT benchmarks. We also demonstrate multi-device heterogeneity of FFTX-IRIS with a larger stencil application.
