Language Run-time Systems: an Overview

Authors: Evgenij Belikov

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 49, 2015 Imperial College Computing Student Workshop (ICCSW 2015)

Abstract
The proliferation of high-level programming languages with advanced language features and the need for portability across increasingly heterogeneous and hierarchical architectures require a sophisticated run-time system to manage program execution and available resources. Additional benefits include isolated execution of untrusted code and the potential for dynamic optimisation, among others. This paper provides a high-level overview of language run-time systems with a focus on execution models, support for concurrency and parallelism, memory management, and communication, whilst briefly mentioning synchronisation, monitoring, and adaptive policy control. Two alternative approaches to run-time system design are presented and several challenges for future research are outlined. References to both seminal and recent work are provided.

History-Based Adaptive Work Distribution

Authors: Evgenij Belikov

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 43, 2014 Imperial College Computing Student Workshop

Abstract
Exploiting parallelism of increasingly heterogeneous parallel architectures is challenging due to the complexity of parallelism management. To achieve high performance portability whilst preserving high productivity, high-level approaches to parallel programming delegate parallelism management, such as partitioning and work distribution, to the compiler and the run-time system. Random work stealing proved efficient for well-structured workloads, but neglects potentially useful context information that can be obtained through static analysis or monitoring at run time and used to improve load balancing, especially for irregular applications with highly varying thread granularity and thread creation patterns. We investigate the effectiveness of an adaptive work distribution scheme to improve load balancing for an extension of Haskell which provides a deterministic parallel programming model and supports both shared-memory and distributed-memory architectures. This scheme uses a less random work stealing that takes into account information on past stealing successes and failures. We quantify run time performance, communication overhead, and stealing success of four divide-and-conquer and data parallel applications for three different update intervals on a commodity 64-core Beowulf cluster of multi-cores.
