Citing Specific Functionality

Some of the functionality implemented by the P3 Analysis Library was first introduced in academic papers, as detailed below.

Performance Portability Metric

The performance portability metric is discussed in the following papers:

• S.J. Pennycook, J.D. Sewall and V.W. Lee, "A Metric for Performance Portability", in Proceedings of the 7th International Workshop in Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computer Systems (PMBS), 2016
• S.J. Pennycook, J.D. Sewall and V.W. Lee, "Implications of a Metric for Performance Portability", in Future Generation Computer Systems, Volume 92, March 2019, Pages 947-958
• S.J. Pennycook and J.D. Sewall, "Revisiting a Metric for Performance Portability", in Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Performance, Portability and Productivity in HPC (P3HPC), 2020

Code Divergence Metric

The code divergence metric is based on the one proposed in the following paper:

• S.L. Harrell, J. Kitson, et al., "Effective Performance Portability", in Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Performance, Portability and Productivity in HPC (P3HPC), 2018

Cascade Plots

Cascade plots were first introduced in the following paper:

• J.D. Sewall, S.J. Pennycook, D. Jacobsen, T. Deakin and S. McIntosh-Smith, "Interpreting and Visualizing Performance Portability Metrics", in Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Performance, Portability and Productivity in HPC (P3HPC), 2020

P3 Analysis Methodology

The end-to-end P3 analysis workflow was first described in the following article:

• S.J. Pennycook, J.D. Sewall, D. Jacobsen, T. Deakin and S. McIntosh-Smith, "Navigating Performance Portability", in Computing in Science & Engineering, Volume: 23, Issue: 5, 01 Sept.-Oct. 2021
