Abstract

The rapidly growing popularity and scale of data-parallel workloads demand a corresponding increase in raw computational power of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). As single-GPU platforms struggle to satisfy these performance demands, multi-GPU platforms have started to dominate the high-performance computing world. The advent of such systems raises a number of design challenges, including the GPU microarchitecture, multi-GPU interconnect fabric, runtime libraries, and associated programming models. The research community currently lacks a publicly available and comprehensive multi-GPU simulation framework to evaluate next-generation multi-GPU system designs.
