The programming models team is glad to announce you the release of the new stable version of OmpSs, which is based on the latest Mercurium and Nanos++ 0.10.
Apart from several bug-fixes in both tools, the main features introduced in this new version are:
- New cluster support
- Execute OmpSs programs transparently on top of a distributed memory system (CUDA & OpenCL devices are also supported).
- Network communication is implemented using GASNet, which provides support for modern High Performance networking technologies.
- Several optimization mechanisms allow to maximize the performance of applications running on a cluster: a data affinity scheduling policy distributes and minimizes the network activity, task presend allows the OmpSs run-time to overlap communication with computation.
- Support for non-contiguous data
- Tasks can reference non-contiguous, multi-dimensional data, which eases the implementation of some applications.
- Thread manager
- The Thread Manager module dynamically controls the amount of working threads needed for a specific amount of workload (info)
- Task reductions
- Enhanced support for Dynamic Load Balancing
