Abstrakt: With the rapid increase of the size of applications and the complexity of the supercomputer architecture, topology-aware process mapping becomes increasingly important. High communication cost has become a dominant constraint of the performance of applications running on the supercomputer. To avoid a bad mapping strategy which can lead to terrible communication performance, we propose an optimized heuristic topology-aware mapping algorithm (OHTMA). The algorithm attempts to minimize the hop-byte metric that we use to measure the mapping results. OHTMA incorporates a new greedy heuristic method and pair-exchange-based optimization. It reduces the number of long-distance communications and effectively enhances the locality of the communication. Experimental results on the Tianhe-3 exascale supercomputer prototype indicate that OHTMA can significantly reduce the communication costs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
