Porting HPC Applications to AMD Instinct^TM MI300A Using Unified Memory and OpenMP
arxiv(2024)
摘要
AMD Instinct^TM MI300A is the world's first data center accelerated
processing unit (APU) with memory shared between the AMD "Zen 4"
EPYC^TM cores and third generation CDNA^TM compute units. A
single memory space offers several advantages: i) it eliminates the need for
data replication and costly data transfers, ii) it substantially simplifies
application development and allows an incremental acceleration of applications,
iii) is easy to maintain, and iv) its potential can be well realized via the
abstractions in the OpenMP 5.2 standard, where the host and the device data
environments can be unified in a more performant way. In this article, we
provide a blueprint of the APU programming model leveraging unified memory and
highlight key distinctions compared to the conventional approach with discrete
GPUs. OpenFOAM, an open-source C++ library for computational fluid dynamics, is
presented as a case study to emphasize the flexibility and ease of offloading a
full-scale production-ready application on MI300 APUs using directive-based
OpenMP programming.
