Toward Resilient Heterogeneous Computing Workflow through Kokkos-DataSpaces Integration
With the growing number of applications designed for heterogeneous HPC devices, application programmers and users are finding it challenging to compose scalable workflows as ensembles of these applications, that are portable, performant and resilient. The Kokkos C++ library has been designed to simplify this cumbersome procedure by providing an intra-application uniform programming model and portable performance. However, assembling multiple Kokkos-enabled applications into a complex workflow is still a challenge. Although Kokkos enables a uniform programming model, the inter-application data exchange still remains a challenge from both performance and software development cost perspectives. In order to address this issue, we propose a Kokkos-DataSpaces Integration, with the goal of providing a virtual shared-space abstraction that can be accessed concurrently by all applications in an Kokkos workflow, thus extending Kokkos to support inter-application data exchange.
