초록

본 논문에서는 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템의 성능 향상을 위한 효율적인 동적 작업부하 균등화 정책을 제안한다. 이 정책은 시스템 자원인 CPU와 메모리를 효율적으로 사용하여 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템의 처리량을 최대화하고, 각 작업의 수행시간을 최소화한다. 또한 이 정책은 수행중인 작업의 메모리 요구량과 각 노드의 부하상태를 파악하여 작업을 동적으로 할당한다. 이때 작업을 할당 받은 노드가 과부하 상태가 되면 다른 노드로 작업을 이주시켜 각 노드의 작업부하를 균등하게 유지함으로써 작업의 대기시간을 줄이고, 각 작업의 수행시간을 단축한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안하는 동적 작업부하 균등화 정책이 기존의 메모리 기반의 작업부하 균등화 정책에 비해 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템의 성능 향상 면에서 우수함을 보인다.

Detecting data races is important for debugging shared-memory programs with nested parallelism, because races result in unintended non-deterministic executions of the program. It is especially important to detect the first occurred data races for effective debugging, because the removal of such races may make other affected races disappear or appear. Previous dynamic detection tools for first race detecting can not guarantee that detected races are unaffected races. Also, the tools does not consider the nesting levels or need support of other techniques. This paper suggests a post-mortem tool which collects candidate accesses during program execution and then detects the first races to occur on the program after execution. This technique is efficient, because it guarantees that first races reported by analyzing a nesting level are the races that occur first at the level, and does not require more analyses to the higher nesting levels than the current level.
