DALI: Digits, architectures et logiciels informatiques

L’équipe DALI développe une thématique de recherche unifiée afin d’améliorer la qualité numérique et la haute performance des calculs.  DALI permet l’interaction, rare en France au sein d’une même équipe, d’experts en micro-architecture et en arithmétique des ordinateurs.
Côté performances, nos travaux portent sur l’exploitation du potentiel de calcul toujours croissant des processeurs : élargissement des chemins (micro-architecture vectorielle), multiplication des cœurs (parallélisme de tâches), augmentation du parallélisme d’instructions. Côté arithmétique, la qualité numérique des applications de calcul  scientifique et la sûreté de fonctionnement d’applications embarquées dépendent crucialement de la maîtrise de la précision finie et de l’arithmétique flottante en particulier. Il s’agit de contrôler et certifier les calculs (algorithmes, codes) mais aussi d’optimiser la précision des résultats. De nombreux logiciels, scientifiques ou embarqués, nécessitent d’améliorer la qualité numérique sans pour autant sacrifier la rapidité d’exécution.  Ainsi se rejoignent amélioration de la performance et de la qualité numérique.

Thématiques de recherche

La cohérence thématique des travaux de recherche sur l’amélioration de la qualité et de la performance des calculs est une des forces de l’équipe DALI.

L’amélioration de la performance des calculs est étroitement liée aux améliorations apportées aux micro-architectures. Celle-ci est réalisée suivant plusieurs directions, par élargissement des chemins (micro-architecture vectorielle), multiplication des cœurs (parallélisme de tâches), ou encore augmentation du parallélisme d’instructions (ILP). La qualité numérique des applications de calcul scientifique ou la sûreté de fonctionnement d’applications embarquées critiques dépendent crucialement de la maîtrise des effets de la précision finie des calculs — et de l’arithmétique flottante en particulier. Il s’agit alors de contrôler et valider les calculs (algorithmes, codes) mais aussi d’améliorer et optimiser la précision des calculs et des résultats.

Les travaux développés sur la période 2008-2013 sont organisés autour de 4 actions de recherche :

  • Action 1. Mesure reproductible et analyse du potentiel de parallélisme et des performances.
  • Action 2. Meilleure exploitation des nouvelles architectures multicœurs.
  • Action 3. Implantation sûre et efficace de protocoles cryptographiques.
  • Action 4. Synthèse de code pour l’implémentation de calculs précis, rapides et certifiés.
