Release Notes

New features

  • Runtime:
    • New supercomputers supported Power9 (OpenPower) and ThunderX (ARM
  • Python:
    • Autoparallel Module to automatically taskify affine loop nests
    • Support for Python Jupyter notebook execution in Supercomputers
    • Distributed Data Set lightweight library that eases development of PyCOMPSs applications by distributing data, and/or providing most common data operations such as map, filter, reduce, etc.
  • C:
    • Multi-architecture and Cross-compiling build support

Improvements:

  • New example applications distributed on Github
  • Reduced overhead of c-binding
  • Task sandbox reuse to reduce execution overheads
  • Script to clean COMPSs zombie processes
  • Several bug fixes

Known Limitations

  • Tasks that invoke Numpy and MKL may experience issues if a different MKL threads count is used in different tasks. This is due to the fact that MKL reuses  threads in the different calls and it does not change the number of threads from one call to another
  • C++ Objects declared as arguments in a coarse-grain tasks must be passed in the task methods as object pointers in order to have a proper dependency management.
