Open Community Runtime for Extreme Scale Computing

1 post · Sep 2016

What this trail covers

Two Sigma is developing capabilities for extreme-scale computing through the Open Community Runtime (OCR). OCR is a runtime system designed for power-constrained, highly distributed, and fault-prone environments. It minimally adds synchronization events and relocatable data blocks to support various programming models. The system aims to provide a flexible execution model for future computing paradigms.

  1. The Open Community Runtime: A Runtime System for Extreme Scale ComputingThis post introduces the fundamental concepts behind the Open Community Runtime (OCR), a new runtime system designed for extreme-scale computing. It details OCR's design principles, which include support for dynamic tasks, synchronization events, and relocatable data blocks, tailored for power-constrained, highly distributed, and fault-prone environments. The paper also presents performance comparisons of OCR against MPI for two simple benchmarks.
