  1. Runtime Data Flow Scheduling of Matrix Computations Ernie Chan Abstract Algorithm-by-Blocks Queueing Theory We investigate the scheduling of matrix computations expressed as directed acyclic graphs for shared-memory parallelism. Because of the data granularity in this problem domain, even slight variations in load balance or data locality can greatly affect performance. We provide a flexible framework for scheduling matrix computations, which we use to empirically quantify different scheduling algorithms. We have developed a scheduling algorithm that addresses both load balance and data locality simultaneously and show its performance benefits. Single-queue multi-server system PE1 Iteration 1 Iteration 2 A single-queue multi-server system attains better load balance than a multi-queue multi-server system. Matrix computations exhibit coarse data granularity, so the cost of performing the Enqueue and Dequeue routines are amortized over the cost of executing the tasks. We developed the cache affinity scheduling algorithm that uses a single priority queue to address load balance and software caches with each thread to address data locality simultaneously.

Analyzer Dispatcher Performance • Delay the execution of operations and instead store all tasks in global task queue sequentially. • Internally calculate all data dependencies between tasks only using the input and output parameters for each task. • Implicitly construct a directed acyclic graph (DAG) from tasks and data dependencies. • Once analyzer completes, dispatcher is invoked to schedule and dispatch tasks to threads in parallel. • foreach task in DAGdo • if task is readythen • Enqueuetask end end • whiletasks are available do • Dequeuetask • Execute task • foreach dependent task do • Update dependent task • if dependent task is ready then • Enqueue dependent task • end end end Chol16 A2,2:= chol(A2,2) Trsm17 A3,2:= A3,2 A2,2-T Syrk18 A3,3:= A3,2 A3,2T Chol19 A3,3 := chol(A3,3) Algorithm-by-blocks for Cholesky factorization given a 4×4 matrix of blocks Reformulate a blocked algorithm to an algorithm-by-blocks by decomposing sub-operations into component operations on blocks (tasks).

Data locality is important as load balance for scheduling matrix computations due to the coarse data granularity of this problem domain.

Syrk13 Gemm14 Syrk15 Map an algorithm-by-blocks to a directed acyclic graph by viewing tasks as the nodes and data dependencies between tasks as the edges in the graph. Trsm1 reads A0,0 after Chol0 overwrites it. This situation leads to the flow dependency (read-after-write) between these two tasks. Chol16 Trsm17 References [1] Ernie Chan, Enrique S.
