Maestro will build a data and memory-aware middleware framework that addresses the ubiquitous problems of data movement in complex memory hierarchies that exist at multiple levels of the HPC software stack.
Objectives
DATA AWARENESS
Moving data through memory has not always been a performance bottleneck. The software stack that HPC relies upon was built during the decades where the cost of performing floating point operations (FLOPS) was paramount. This has resulted in a software stack and set of programming models that are optimised for floating point operations but lacking in basic data handling functionality. We characterise the set of technical issues as ‘missing data-awareness’.
MEMORY AWARENESS
Software rightfully insulates users from hardware details, particularly as we move up the software stack. But HPC applications, programming environments and system software cannot make key data movement decisions without some understanding of the hardware, particularly of the increasingly complex memory hierarchy. With the exception of runtimes, which treat memory in a domain-specific manner, software typically makes hardware-neutral decisions which can often result in poor performance We characterise this issue as ‘missing memory-awareness’.

Session: Data Movement Orchestration on HPC Systems
Time: Tuesday, 6 July 202114:00 – 16:00 CEST
Location: Mère Royaume
Description: The next HPC systems are expected to feature millions of cores leading to more parallelism for large-scale simulations and workflows in varied scientific domains. However, there is a price to pay: the gap between computing power and data movement performance will keep increasing more and more and will inevitably intensify the bottleneck caused by data movements. Thus, it becomes necessary to consider data movement within those modern architectures at all the stages of the data lifetime and to come up with software components for orchestrating this movement. In particular, we can identify several key aspects among which: data semantics for expressing applications needs and memory abstraction for portability and extendibility given the multiplicity of memory and storage tiers. During this Minisymposium, we will focus on those two facets and present very promising ongoing projects coming from academia and industry proposing to address the data orchestration challenge and facilitate efficient exploitation of future exascale systems. An open discussion with the speakers will close the session.
