subsection{Conclusion}
label{sec:conclusion}
In this paper we have presented textsc{YinYang}, a high-performance
distributed computation framework that addresses many of the problems
encountered by users who wish to use high-end computing systems for
high-level scientific applications.
We have presented textsc{YinYang}'s architecture as well as several
algorithms that take advantage of it: dense linear algebra,
sparse linear algebra (including sparse matrix-vector multiplication,
sparse triangular solve), finite difference PDE solvers (including
Jacobi iteration) on two-dimensional grids with periodic boundary
conditions.
The performance of textsc{YinYang} compares favorably with state-of-the-art
MPI implementations of dense linear algebra (BLAS) and finite difference PDE
solvers (Jacobi iteration), while providing significant advantages over MPI
for sparse linear algebra applications.
We conclude that textsc{YinYang} is suitable for use in developing high-level
scientific applications that take advantage of distributed memory parallelism,
and that it represents an important step forward in enabling scientists who
have little expertise in parallel computing.

label{sec:sparse-mv}
We implemented sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) using four different algorithms:
begin{itemize}
item An ``na"ive'' algorithm that serially iterates over all elements in $A$,
checking if each element is non-zero before performing the multiplication
$A_{ij}v_j$.
item A blocked algorithm which first partitions $A$ into blocks according
to an array $B$ such that $B(i)$ contains the block index containing row
$i$. Then each block is multiplied by $v$ using the naive algorithm; these
products are then added together into one vector $Av$. The blocked version
performs better than the naive version because it avoids having multiple
threads iterating over elements in $A$ which map onto different blocks.
item A blocked algorithm which performs matrix partitioning as described above,
but then computes each block separately using OpenMP instead of serially using
pthreads (the same algorithm used for dense matrix-vector multiplication).
item A blocked algorithm which uses OpenMP instead of pthreads when computing
each block.
end{itemize}
For all four algorithms we tested both an unoptimized implementation (which
does not perform any optimizations beyond those discussed above) as well as an
optimized implementation which includes three additional optimizations:
begin{itemize}
item Cache blocking -- Since matrix blocks can be large relative to cache size,
we further partition each block into smaller sub-blocks so that all elements
being accessed by one thread fit into cache.
item Compressed storage -- Instead of storing $A$ using one array per row,
we store $A$ using two arrays: one containing all non-zero values ($val$),
another containing all column indices corresponding to those values ($col$).
Thus accessing $A_{ij}$ becomes accessing $val[k]$ where $k$ is found by
searching $col$ for entry $j$. This approach reduces storage requirements
since no space is allocated for zero entries; it also improves performance
since fewer entries are read from disk (and thus fewer entries must be loaded
into cache).
item Blocked sparse matrix storage -- Instead of storing all non-zero values
consecutively in memory (as described above), we store values within each
block consecutively in memory before moving onto values from another block.
These three optimizations work together -- cache blocking allows us to take advantage
of compressed storage since only small sub-blocks need fit into cache at once;
compressed storage allows us to take advantage of blocked sparse matrix storage since only small blocks need fit into cache at once; blocked sparse matrix storage allows us to take advantage of cache blocking since only small blocks need fit into cache at once.
end{itemize}
Table~ref{table:sparsemv} shows performance results comparing our four algorithms with an MPI implementation from cite{mpi-sparse-mv}. For simplicity we only compare against one implementation from cite{mpi-sparse-mv}, but results are similar against other implementations as well.footnote{url{http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/matrix/}}
The unoptimized implementations were run with two threads per core (one pthreads thread per core) while optimized implementations were run with four threads per core (two OpenMP threads per core). We found that increasing thread count further did not improve performance due primarily to increased contention between threads accessing shared resources such as caches or NUMA domains.footnote{NUMA stands for Non-Uniform Memory Access; it refers to computer architectures where memory access time depends on memory location relative to processor or memory access address space.}
As expected all optimized implementations outperform their unoptimized counterparts;
furthermore optimized versions outperform unoptimized versions by almost two orders of magnitude! In particular our blocked OpenMP implementation outperforms both MPI implementations.footnote{url{http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/matrix/}} Interestingly our blocked pthreads implementation performs nearly as well as our blocked OpenMP implementation even though it uses half as many threads! This suggests that performance improvements may be due primarily due not only thread count but also optimizations such as compressed storage.
Our results demonstrate that textsc{YinYang} can provide significant performance benefits over MPI-based approaches when performing sparse linear algebra computations.
