Investigation into the Performance Benefits of Exposing Network Backpressure in UPC++ and GASNet-EX

Abstract

This document is a brief summary of the research, and supporting development efforts, conducted by the project "Investigation into Improving Dynamic Adaptivity to System-Level Asynchrony in UPC++". We tested the hypothesis "The UPC++ and GASNet-EX runtimes can expose information from the network stack that enables applications to dynamically adapt to congestion, improving total throughput". We present experimental results from both a microbenchmark and an application benchmark that support this hypothesis.
