Abstract:
Modern high-performance, large-scale simulations require significant computational power, memory, and storage, making heterogeneous architectures an attractive option. Yet, the presence of accelerators in heterogeneous architectures makes model development hard. Domain-specific languages (DSLs) have successfully simplified model development, but designing a DSL to target heterogeneous architectures can be burdensome. Model-driven engineering (MDE) can simplify the development of DSLs targeting heterogeneous architectures. In this paper, we present a model-driven approach targeting Parallel Discrete Event Simulations on heterogeneous architectures. We exercise our MDE-generated models using a state-of-the-art runtime environment for heterogeneous architectures, using a custom DSL as an example.
