OmpSs-2 2023.05, Wed May 24, 2023
The OmpSs-2 2023.05 release includes new software projects and several performance and usability improvements for the OmpSs-2 programming model. In the context of OmpSs-2, this release introduces the new NODES runtime system supporting OmpSs-2, a novel and efficient tasking library named nOS-V, new Task-Aware libraries for interoperability with GPU offloading models, and new features in the ovni instrumentation library.
General
- Improve support for ovni instrumentation in the Nanos6 runtime and support for the idle CPUs view
- Add performance and usability improvements in Nanos6
- Allow embedding hwloc library into Nanos6 to avoid conflicts with other third-party software that use different hwloc versions
- Add support for
atomic
andcritical
OmpSs-2 directives in the LLVM/Clang compiler - Drop support for
task for
clause - Mercurium is the OmpSs-2 legacy compiler, not supported anymore, and will not provide new features for OmpSs-2. Use the LLVM/Clang compiler instead
NODES Runtime and nOS-V Tasking Library
- Introduce the new low-level nOS-V threading and tasking library, enabling co-execution of applications
- Introduce the new NODES runtime system, built on top of nOS-V, that supports the OmpSs-2 model. This runtime implements the
taskiter
construct and leverages directed task graphs (DCTG) to optimize the execution of iterative applications - Extend
-fompss-2
option from LLVM/Clang to choose between Nanos6 and NODES runtimes by accepting the option valueslibnanos6
(default) andlibnodes
, respectively
Task-Aware Libraries
- Introduce the new Task-Aware CUDA (TACUDA), Task-Aware HIP (TAHIP) and Task-Aware SYCL (TASYCL) libraries. These task-aware libraries seamlessly integrate the CUDA, HIP and SYCL APIs for GPU offloading with the OmpSs-2 and OpenMP tasking models
- Add performance improvements and bug fixes in the Task-Aware MPI (TAMPI) and Task-Aware GASPI (TAGASPI) communication libraries
- Extend Task-Aware MPI (TAMPI) to support ovni instrumentation and allow tracing of multi-node hyrbid MPI+OmpSs-2 applications
ovni Instrumentation
- Add new graph-based design in ovni to support complex models like the new breakdown timeline
