Progressive CPU Volume Rendering with Sample Accumulation

Here, we present a new method for progressive volume rendering by accumulating object-space samples over successively rendered frames. Existing methods for progressive refinement either use image space methods or average pixels over frames, which can blur features or integrate incorrectly with respect to depth. Our approach stores samples along each ray, accumulates new samples each frame into a buffer, and progressively interleaves and integrates these samples. Though this process requires additional memory, it ensures interactivity and is well suited for CPU architectures with large memory and cache. This approach also extends well to distributed rendering in cluster environments. We implement this technique in Intel’s open source OSPRay CPU ray tracing framework and demonstrate that it is particularly useful for rendering volumetric data with costly sampling functions.

Advanced Data Structures for Improved Cyber Resilience and Awareness in Untrusted Environments: LDRD Report

This report summarizes the work performed under the project "Advanced Data Structures for Improved Cyber Resilience and Awareness in Untrusted Environments." The goal of the project was to design, analyze, and test new data structures for cybersecurity applications. We had two major thrusts: 1) using new/improved write-optimized data structures and/or algorithms to better man- age and analyze high-speed massive-volume cyberstreams, and 2) adding security features to data structures at minimum cost. Write optimization allows data structures to better use secondary memory to store and search a larger amount of useful information. Secondary memory is large compared to main memory, but data movement to and from secondary memory must be carefully managed to run quickly enough to keep up with fast streams. The first thrust included managing cyberstreams in parallel, both multi-threaded and distributed, and improving the benchmarking infrastructure for testing new streaming data structures. We considered both (near) real-time discovery of particular patterns, and improved logging for improved forensics. We considered two kinds of security-feature problem. The first was high-performance history- independent external-memory data structures. These provide certain protections to data if a disk is stolen. We also prove some trade-offs between speed and security in this setting. The second data-security problem is more secure data look-up in secret-shared data bases. This report summarizes the project's major accomplishments, with the background to under- stand these accomplishments. It gathers the abstracts and references for the six refereed publications that have appeared as part of this work. We summarize several accomplishments that will be submitted for publication. We then archive one piece of partial work that is not likely to be published in the near future: validation of history-independent data structure implementations.

Mads.jl

Mads.jl (Model analysis and decision support in Julia) is a code that streamlines the process of using data and models for analysis and decision support. It is based on another open-source code developed at LANL and written in C/C++ (MADS; http://mads.lanl.gov; LA-CC-11- 035). Mads.jl can work with external models of arbitrary complexity as well as built-in models of flow and transport in porous media. It enables a number of data- and model-based analyses including model calibration, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, and decision analysis. The code also can use a series of alternative adaptive computational techniques for Bayesian sampling, Monte Carlo, and Bayesian Information-Gap Decision Theory. The code is implemented in the Julia programming language, and has high-performance (parallel) and memory management capabilities. The code uses a series of third party modules developed by others. The code development will also include contributions to the existing third party modules written in Julia; this contributions will be important for the efficient implementation of the algorithm used by Mads.jl. The code also uses a series of LANL developed modules that are developed by Dan O'Malley; these modules will be also a part of the Mads.jl release. Mads.jl will be released under GPL V3 license. The code will be distributed as a Git repo at gitlab.com and github.com. Mads.jl manual and documentation will be posted at madsjulia.lanl.gov.

CUDA Computation of the Feynman Distribution

In 2006, NVIDIA Corporation introduced the Computer Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) for C, C++, and Fortran programming languages. The CUDA parallel computing platform uses the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) of NVIDIA graphics card, and it is designed for parallel computations. In these computations, the same algorithms are executed on the data in parallel. The GPU contains many Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) that can independently execute blocks of threads. A thread is a sequence of serial programmed instructions. The SM executes threads in groups of 32 and a group of 32 threads is called warp. The threads within a block can be synchronized and have access to a shared memory that is visible only to them. Conversely, blocks of threads cannot be synchronized and have access only to the global memory of the graphics card. This memory is called device memory and is independent of the host memory controlled by the Central Processing Unit (CPU). A single thread has access to a local memory (register) that is not visible to any other thread. The part of the program that is executed on the graphics card is called kernel. Each thread of the kernel has a unique identification index that is accessible by the in-built variable threadIdx; the latter is a 3-component vector. A threads block can contain up to 1024 threads. Blocks of threads have a unique identification index that is accessible by the in-built variable blockIdx; the latter is a 3-component vector. The in-built variable blockDim contains the number of threads per block; this variable is a 3-component vector. Threads and blocks represent different levels of parallelism; a kernel is executed as a grid of blocks of threads. Figure 1 illustrates a grid of thread blocks for a GPU with 2 SM. A SM can execute multiple blocks of threads in parallel; a block of threads is executed on a single SM. A GPU can execute multiple kernels concurrently. This work has used the Quadro M5000 graphics card with the following technical specifications: - 2048 cores with 861 MHz frequency, - 16 streaming multiprocessors, - 5.2 trillion transistors, - 8.2 Gb device memory, - 64 kb register memory (per thread), - 48 kb shared memory (per block) - 211.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, and - 3.5 GFLOPS floating point performance.

GronOR: Massively Parallel and GPU-Accelerated Non-Orthogonal Configuration Interaction for Large Molecular Systems

GronOR is a program package for non-orthogonal configuration interaction calculations for an electronic wave function built in terms of anti-symmetrized products of multi-configuration molecular fragment wave functions. The two-electron integrals that have to be processed may be expressed in terms of atomic orbitals or in terms of an orbital basis determined from the molecular orbitals of the fragments. The code has been specifically designed for execution on distributed memory massively parallel and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-accelerated computer architectures, using an MPI+OpenACC/OpenMP programming approach. The task-based execution model used in the implementation allows for linear scaling with the number of nodes on the largest pre-exascale architectures available, provides hardware fault resiliency, and enables effective execution on systems with distinct central processing unit-only and GPU-accelerated partitions. The code interfaces with existing multi-configuration electronic structure codes that provide optimized molecular fragment orbitals, configuration interaction coefficients, and the required integrals. Algorithm and implementation details, parallel and accelerated performance benchmarks, and an analysis of the sensitivity of the accuracy of results and computational performance to thresholds used in the calculations are presented.
