Development Activities and Results

  • Algorithms Highlighted: Logistic Regression, ALS, K-Means
  • APEX:
    • Refactored APEX/HPX integration to eliminate circular dependency.
    • Fixed function annotation to create valid OTF2 traces
    • Fixed HPX and Phylanx build issues for buildbot testing
    • Fixed Phylanx failed tests in debug builds
    • Several APEX code and config fixes due to HPX structural changes
    • APEX 2.1.7 released to sync with HPX 1.4.0 release.
  • Tiling:
    • Theory: worked on the online cut and advice complexity paper. We expect to arxiv it soon pending verification of some proofs.
    • Distributed Infrastructure and Tiling:
    • worked on distributed read and had issues with a bug for testing his Distributed matrix multiplication algorithms.
