2023 GFFT: a Task Graph Based Fast Fourier Transform Optimization Framework
abstract
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a widely used mathematical tool in scientific and engineering applications, and optimizing its performance remains a challenging problem. This paper introduces GFFT, a novel task-graph-based FFT optimization framework that leverages modern hardware and software techniques to achieve high-performance computation. GFFT features a tuning model that uses hardware parameters to optimize FFT decomposition, a bi-directional recursive FFT algorithm that avoids strided load in SIMD implementation, and several graph optimizers inspired by deep learning frameworks to enhance performance. In addition, GFFT utilizes task-based parallelism to exploit performance on multi-core processors and provide potential compatibility with heterogeneous systems. Experimental results demonstrate that GFFT outperforms popular FFT frameworks, achieving an average speedup of 1.17x to FFTW and 1.27x to oneMKL on the Intel Xeon processor, 1.18x to AOCL-FFTW on the AMD EPYC processor, and 2.11x to FFTW on the Sunway multi-core processor with a single thread. Additionally, GFFT achieves an average speedup of 11.48x to FFTW and 1.41x to oneMKL on the Intel Xeon processor, 9.87x to AOCL-FFTW on the AMD EPYC processor with 16-threads.

2023 An Optimized Framework for Matrix Factorization on the New Sunway Many-core Platform
abstract
Matrix factorization functions are used in many areas and often play an important role in the overall performance of the applications. In the LAPACK library, matrix factorization functions are implemented with blocked factorization algorithm, shifting most of the workload to the high-performance Level-3 BLAS functions. But the non-blocked part, the panel factorization, becomes the performance bottleneck, especially for small- and medium-size matrices that are the common cases in many real applications. On the new Sunway many-core platform, the performance bottleneck of panel factorization can be alleviated by keeping the panel in the LDM for the panel factorization. Therefore, we propose a new framework for implementing matrix factorization functions on the new Sunway many-core platform, facilitating the in-LDM panel factorization. The framework provides a template class with wrapper functions, which integrates inter-CPE communication for the Level-1 and Level-2 BLAS functions with flexible interfaces and can accommodate different partitioning schemes. With the framework, writing panel factorization code with data residing in the LDM space can be done with much higher productivity. We implemented three functions ( dgetrf , dgeqrf , and dpotrf ) based on the framework and compared our work with a CPE_BLAS version, which uses the original LAPACK implementation linked with optimized BLAS library that runs on the CPE mesh. Using the most favorable partitioning, the panel factorization part achieves speedup of up to 26.3, 19.1, and 18.2 for the three matrix factorization functions. For the whole function, our implementation is based on a carefully tuned recursion framework, and we added specific optimization to some subroutines used in the factorization functions. Overall, we obtained average speedup of 9.76 on dgetrf , 10.12 on dgeqrf , and 4.16 on dpotrf , compared to the CPE_BLAS version. Based on the current template class, our work can be extended to support more categories of linear algebra functions.
