This report documents the completion of milestone STPRO4-5 Kokkos interoperability with general SIMD types to force vectorization on ATS-1. The Kokkos team worked with application developers to enable the utilization of SIMD intrinsics, which allowed up to 3.7x improvement of the affected kernels on ATS-1 in a proxy application. SIMD types are now deployed in the production code base.
This report documents the completion of milestone STPRO4-4 Kokkos back-ends research, collaborations, development, optimization, and documentation. The Kokkos team updated its existing backend to support the software stack and hardware of DOE's Sierra, Summit and Astra machines. They also collaborated with ECP PathForward vendors on developing backends for possible exa-scale architectures. Furthermore, the team ramped up its engagement with the ISO/C++ committee to accelerate the adoption of features important for the HPC community into the C++ standard.

This report documents the completion of milestone STPM12-4 Kokkos Training Bootcamp. The goal of this milestone was to hold a combined tutorial and hackathon bootcamp event for the Kokkos community and prospective users. The Kokkos Bootcamp event was held on-site at Oak Ridge National Lab from July 24 — July 27, 2018. There were over 40 registered participants from 12 institutions, including 7 Kokkos project staff from SNL, LANL, and ORNL. The event consisted of a roughly a two-day tutorial session including hands exercises, followed by 1.5 days of intensive porting work on codes that the participants brought explore, port, and optimize the use of Kokkos with the help of Kokkos project experts.

This report documents the completion of milestone STPM12-2 Kokkos User Support Infrastructure. The goal of this milestone was to develop and deploy an initial Kokkos support infrastructure, which facilitates communication and growth of the user community, adds a central place for user documentation and manages access to technical experts. Multiple possible support infrastructure venues were considered and a solution was put into place by Q1 of FY 18 consisting of (1) a Wiki programming guide, (2) github issues and projects for development planning and bug tracking and (3) a “Slack” channel for low latency support communications with the Kokkos user community. Furthermore, the desirability of a cloud based training infrastructure was recognized and put in place in order to support training events.
