Popis | Leveraging hardware performance counters provides valuable insights into system resource utilization, aiding performance analysis and tuning for parallel applications. The available counters vary with architecture and are collected at execution time. Their abundance and the limited number of registers for measurement make gathering laborious and costly. Efficient characterization of parallel regions necessitates a dimension reduction strategy. While recent efforts have focused on manually reducing the number of counters for specific architectures, this paper introduces a novel approach: an automatic dimension reduction technique for efficiently characterizing parallel code regions across diverse architectures. The methodology is based on Machine Learning ensembles because of their precision and ability at capturing different relationships between the input features and the target variables. Evaluation results show that ensembles can successfully reduce the number of hardware performance counters that characterize a code region. We validate our approach on CPUs using a comprehensive dataset of OpenMP regions, showing that any region can be accurately characterized by 8 relevant hardware performance counters. In addition, we also apply the proposed methodology on GPUs using a reduced set of kernels, demonstrating its effectiveness across various hardware configurations and workloads. |
