Detailed Description

A hard coded strategy that can realise a few standard tasking patterns.

Definition at line 19 of file Hardcoded.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Hardcoded()

tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::Hardcoded ( int minTasksToFuse,
int maxTasksToFuse,
int deviceForFusedTasks,
int maxNestedConcurrency,
std::chrono::microseconds timeout )

Construct hardcoded scheme.

Please read through Task fusion strategies for some hints and remarks on the strategies.

Parameters
deviceForFusedTasksUse tarch::multicore::Task::Host if you do not intend to use GPUs
maxNestedConcurrencyPass in NoNestedParallelism if you don't want nested parallelism.
timeoutPass in NoTimeout if you don't want timeouts.

Member Function Documentation

◆ createBSP()

tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded * tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::createBSP ( )
static

If you want to use sole BSP, you effectively switch off the tasking.

Technically, this is realised by a strategy which enqueues all tasks that are spawned into the pending task queue. No tasks are handed over to the actual back-end. Therefore, the tasks will be done lazily upon demand within processPendingTasks().

Definition at line 7 of file Hardcoded.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ createFuseAll()

tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded * tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::createFuseAll ( int numberOfTasksToFuse,
bool fuseImmediately,
bool processTasksWhileWaitingInBSPArea,
int targetDevice )
static

Create a strategy where tasks are always fused if possible given the configuration constraints.

Parameters
numberOfTasksToFuseThe remaining tasks(<numberOfTasksToFuse) will remain stuck in the background queue and will stay there until processed lazily.
fuseImmediatelyFuse right when they are spawned. Otherwise, tasks end up in a local queue. If a thread runs out of work, it looks into this queue and then fuses. So the fuse happens later, but it does not hold back any task production thread.
targetDeviceNon-negative number or tarch::multicore::Task::Host.

◆ createNative()

◆ endBSPSection()

void tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::endBSPSection ( int nestedParallelismLevel)
overridevirtual

Notifies the strategy that we leave a BSP (fork-join) section.

Implements tarch::multicore::orchestration::Strategy.

Definition at line 58 of file Hardcoded.cpp.

◆ fuse()

tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::FuseInstruction tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::fuse ( int taskType)
overridevirtual

How many tasks to fuse and to which device to deploy.

Parameters
taskTypeTask type for which we want to know if to fuse or not.

◆ paralleliseForkJoinSection()

tarch::multicore::orchestration::Strategy::ExecutionPolicy tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::paralleliseForkJoinSection ( int nestedParallelismLevel,
int numberOfTasks,
int taskType )
overridevirtual

Determine how to handle/realise parallelisation within fork/join region.

Peano models its execution with multiple parallel, nested fork/join sections. You could also think of these as mini-BSP sections. This routine guides the orchestration how to map those BSP sections onto tasks.

The decision can be guided by basically arbitrary contextual factors. The most important one for me is the nesting factor. As we work mainly with OpenMP, where tasks are tied to one core, it makes limited sense to have nested parallel fors. Notably, it makes stuff slower. So usually, I return ExecutionPolicy::RunSerially with anything with a nesting level greater than 1.

Parameters
nestedParallelismLevelPlease compare with tarch::multicore::spawnAndWait() which ensures that this flag equals 1 on the top level. A parameter of 0 would mean that no fork/join region has been opened. For such a parameter, the code would not query this function.
taskTypeIf we enter a fork-join section, this section logically spawns a set of tasks, which are all of the same type. So the task type here is given implicitly by the code location. But each BSP section has a unique identifier.

◆ startBSPSection()

void tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::startBSPSection ( int nestedParallelismLevel)
overridevirtual

Notifies the strategy that we enter a BSP section.

Implements tarch::multicore::orchestration::Strategy.

◆ updateFuseStatistics()

void tarch::multicore::orchestration::Hardcoded::updateFuseStatistics ( int taskType,
int queueSize,
double averageNumberOfPendingReadyTasksPerProcessTaskExecution,
double probabilityThatTaskIsCompleted )
overridevirtual

Update task fusion status.

Feed orchestration with some stats around the task queue of interest. This routine is not called every time a process read tasks kicks off, but only every now and then. Furthermore, please note that this routine is invoked iff the orchestration beforehand had decided to fuse tasks.

Parameters
taskTypeNumber of the task that we are studying
queueSizeSize of the queue at this observation point
averageNumberOfPendingReadyTasksPerProcessTaskExecutionaverage over number of tasks in the queue whenever a process task has kicked off and the underlying real task has not completed yet.
probabilityThatTaskIsCompletedProbability that task result has been there already when the corresponding instance of ProcessReadyTask fires up. This is a biased value: If we try to look up if a task is already completed and the underlying dictionary is locked, then this counts as a "no hit" as well.
