XTUNE: Autotuning for Exascale: Self-Tuning Software to Manage Heterogeneity
XTUNE is tasked to develop the first unified autotuning framework that seamlessly integrates programmer-directed and compiler-directed autotuning, so that a programmer and the compiler system can work collaboratively to tune a code, unlike previous systems that place the entire tuning burden on either programmer or compiler. The proposed system will dramatically improve generality and usability of autotuning technology through an integrated, composable collection of tools, including an autotuning compiler framework, language extensions, a code transformation framework, compiler decision algorithms and performance models. To maximize productivity impact of autotuning and make it approachable by many users, it should be encapsulated in domain-specific tools developed by expert users and made available to others. To this end, we will demonstrate autotuning on computations from AMR MG, Combustion Co-Design Center, TCE and Nek5000, and will work with DOE to define a small number of other mini-app demonstrations. We will identify opportunities for integration, software reuse and demonstrations with other X-stack projects.

About Berkeley Lab
Founded in 1931 on the belief that the biggest scientific challenges are best addressed by teams, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and its scientists have been recognized with 16 Nobel Prizes. Today, Berkeley Lab researchers develop sustainable energy and environmental solutions, create useful new materials, advance the frontiers of computing, and probe the mysteries of life, matter, and the universe. Scientists from around the world rely on the Lab’s facilities for their own discovery science. Berkeley Lab is a multiprogram national laboratory, managed by the University of California for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
DOE’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, please visit energy.gov/science.
