论文摘要
储层计算是预测湍流的有力工具，其简单的架构具有处理大型系统的计算效率。然而，其实现通常需要完整的状态向量测量和系统非线性知识。我们使用非线性投影函数将系统测量扩展到高维空间，然后将其输入到储层中以获得预测。我们展示了这种储层计算网络在时空混沌系统上的应用，该系统模拟了湍流的若干特征。我们表明，使用径向基函数作为非线性投影器，即使只有部分观测并且不知道控制方程，也能稳健地捕捉复杂的系统非线性。最后，我们表明，当测量稀疏、不完整且带有噪声，甚至控制方程变得不准确时，我们的网络仍然可以产生相当准确的预测，从而为实际湍流系统的无模型预测铺平了道路。
Multilinear algebra kernel performance on modern massively-parallel systems is determined mainly by data movement. However, deriving data movement-optimal distributed schedules for programs with many high-dimensional inputs is a notoriously hard problem. State-of-the-art libraries rely on heuristics and often fall back to suboptimal tensor folding and BLAS calls. We present Deinsum, an automated framework for distributed multilinear algebra computations expressed in Einstein notation, based on rigorous mathematical tools to address this problem. Our framework automatically derives data movement-optimal tiling and generates corresponding distributed schedules, further optimizing the performance of local computations by increasing their arithmetic intensity. To show the benefits of our approach, we test it on two important tensor kernel classes: Matricized Tensor Times Khatri-Rao Products and Tensor Times Matrix chains. We show performance results and scaling on the Piz Daint supercomputer, with up to 19x speedup over state-of-the-art solutions on 512 nodes.
