Experience with the alpaka performance portability library in the CMS software
Abstract
ion Library for Parallel Kernel Acceleration) is a header-only C++ library that provides performance portability across different back-ends, abstracting the underlying levels of parallelism. It supports serial and parallel execution on CPUs, and extremely parallel execution on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs.This contribution will show how alpaka is used in the CMS software to develop and maintain a single code base; to use different toolchains to build the code for each supported back-end, and link them into a single application; to seamlessly select the best backend at runtime, and implement portable reconstruction algorithms that run efficiently on CPUs and GPUs from different vendors. It will describe the validation and deployment of the alpaka-based implementation in the CMS High Level Trigger, and highlight how it achieves near-native performance.
