The HPC Group at the Professorship for High
Performance Computing at the FAU has been awarded "The Best Late-Breaking Paper
Award” for its paper "Automatic Throughput and Critical Path Analysis of x86 and ARM Assembly Kernels" at the 10th Workshop on "Performance
Modeling, Benchmarking, and Simulation of High Performance Computer
Systems (PMBS19)”, a renowned workshop co-located with the SC19 conference. The lead author, master student Jan Laukemann, presented his work on a new version of the OSAKA tool (Open-Source Architecture Code Analyzer), which supports
throughput, critical path, and loop-carried dependency analysis for
assembly loop kernels on x86 and ARM architectures. It is thus a
critical component for ECM and Roofline modeling and can be used as a
more capable substitute for Intel's discontinued IACA tool.
