Studying Performance Portability of LAMMPS across Diverse GPU-based Platforms

The molecular dynamics simulation software, LAMMPS, utilizes the Kokkos acceleration library to port computation to a diverse set of architectures including those based on GPU accelerators. In addition to Kokkos, LAMMPS contains a vast code base that leverages the CUDA application programming interface using library functions such as cuFFT, CUDA’s fast-fourier transform (FFT) library, and, more recently, also support for AMD’s Heterogeneous Interface for Portability (HIP) that is rapidly growing. While preparing LAMMPS tests for the AMD GPU-based test system precursors to Frontier, we investigated several strategies for accelerating LAMMPS on AMD GPUs, using the AMD Instinct MI100 and MI250X. In this work, we integrated the HIP FFT library, hipFFT, into the particle-particle particle-mesh (PPPM) long-range solver, which allowed the porting of PPPM calculations to the GPUs. Kokkos behavior on the MI100 and MI250X was also investigated through the package kokkos command of LAMMPS, targeting com- munication, memory usage, and particle grid decomposition. The Tersoff, Reax, Lennard-Jones (LJ), EAM, Granular, and PPPM potentials were investigated in this effort, and results from these experiments are provided. The selected potentials were run on Spock (AMD Instinct MI100), Crusher (AMD Instinct MI250X), AFW HPC11 (NVIDIA A100) and Summit (NVIDIA V100), for comparison. Operational roofline models were constructed and analyzed for the Tersoff, Reax, and Lennard-Jones potentials on Crusher and Summit.

Asynchronous-many-task systems: Challenges and opportunities - Scaling an AMR astrophysics code on exascale machines using Kokkos and HPX

Dynamic and adaptive mesh refinement is pivotal in high-resolution, multi-physics, multi-model simulations, necessitating precise physics resolution in localized areas across expansive domains. Today’s supercomputers’ extreme heterogeneity presents a significant challenge for dynamically adaptive codes, highlighting the importance of achieving performance portability at scale. Our research focuses on astrophysical simulations, particularly stellar mergers, to elucidate early universe dynamics. Here, we present Octo-Tiger, leveraging Kokkos, HPX, and SIMD for portable performance at scale in complex, massively parallel adaptive multi-physics simulations. Octo-Tiger supports diverse processors, accelerators, and network backends. Experiments demonstrate exceptional scalability across several heterogeneous supercomputers including Perlmutter, Frontier, and Fugaku, encompassing major GPU architectures and x86, ARM, and RISC-V CPUs. Parallel efficiency of 47.59% (110,080 cores and 6880 hybrid A100 GPUs) on a full-system run on Perlmutter (26% HPCG peak performance) and 51.37% (using 32,768 cores and 2048 MI250X) on Frontier are achieved.

Software Defined Architectures for Portability and Performance

The Software Defined Architectures for Portability and Performance (SODAPOP) project developed a co-design framework to partition and map converged applications on specialized heterogeneous architectures. We started from key domain applications that combine scientific simulation with data analytics and machine learning as drivers to integrate our framework. The framework includes high-level compilers that interfaces with high-level programming frameworks, domain-specific optimization passes, and hardware-oriented optimizations. The framework leverages hardware generators to enable specialization and facilitate exploration of custom system designs.
