Abstract

In this paper, we present OMP2MPI a tool that generates automatically MPI source code from OpenMP. With this transformation the original program can be adapted to be able to exploit a larger number of processors by surpassing the limits of the node level on large HPC clusters. The transformation can also be useful to adapt the source code to execute in distributed memory many-cores with message passing support. In addition, the resulting MPI code can be used as an starting point that still can be further optimized by software engineers. The transformation process is focused on detecting OpenMP parallel loops and distributing them in a master/worker pattern. A set of micro-benchmarks have been used to verify the correctness of the the transformation and to measure the resulting performance. Surprisingly not only the automatically generated code is correct by construction, but also it often performs faster even when executed with MPI.

Co-Fabric: Breaking Host-Domain Boundaries for Unified xPU Interconnection

Large-model parameters have grown beyond the capacity of a single xPU, dispersing across multiple xPUs spanning distinct host domains, where xPU-to-xPU communication dominates overall system efficiency. Existing scale-up interconnect remains inadequate: network-based solutions built on Ethernet--such as RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet)--introduce specific message-semantics and protocol-stack characteristics, and rely on fragmented per-host addressing, while conventional host-based fabrics are confined to a single host domain and lack cross-host unified addressing. This paper presents Co-Fabric, a bus-based interconnect that, unlike conventional bus designs, breaks host-domain boundaries to deliver unified xPU interconnection for scale-up superpods. Co-Fabric makes three contributions: a streamlined four-layer protocol stack achieving nanosecond-scale processing latency with native reliability; a cross-domain scaling and P2P mechanism that routes using port identifiers embedded in the packet header; and a unified address space built on shadow-device auto-enumeration. On a 64-xPU 3D-Mesh system, Co-Fabric cuts inter-node communication latency by over 50% and improves bandwidth by 2-5x over RoCE, accelerating DeepSeek R1 inference by 30%-80%. Moreover, since its streamlined four-layer protocol stack and higher data-communication efficiency reduce protocol and processing overhead relative to the Ethernet-based RoCE stack, Co-Fabric cuts the cost and power of the interconnect itself by up to 80% and 5%, respectively. These results demonstrate Co-Fabric's advantage for AI computing centers.

Hydrozoan: Latency-Adaptive DAG Consensus under Mixed Byzantine and Crash Faults

DAG-based consensus protocols can achieve great throughput and the optimal three-message-delay limit for n = 3f+1 consensus. While two-delay protocols exist, they pay with reduced resilience (requiring 5f+1-style committees) or rely on fallbacks that sacrifice the DAG's high throughput. This paper introduces Hydrozoan, the first DAG protocol with a dual commit path under a hybrid fault model of f Byzantine and c crashed validators, on n = 3f+c+2p+1 validators. Leaders commit in two message delays whenever at most p validators are faulty, and in three otherwise, with no extra messages, no view changes, and multiple leaders per round. Both paths are evaluated on the same DAG, using a novel graded indirect rule to reconcile them so that every honest validator reaches the same decision. We show that under geo-distributed conditions, which path is faster is a property of geography rather than the protocol, as rounds reaching a remote region cost far more than those that do not. The (f, c, p) knobs place the fast quorum where the deployment requires it, allowing a commit in two message delays. If misconfigured, Hydrozoan can still commit in three message delays: Hydrozoan commits on whichever path fires first. We also present Optimal-Hydrozoan, a variant that tolerates one more fault on the fast path, the first construction to match the known lower bound. The safety and liveness of both protocols are machine-checked in Lean 4. Our geo-distributed evaluation shows that Hydrozoan matches Mysticeti's throughput, commits ~25% faster when the fast quorum fits fast regions, and falls back to three message delays when it does not or past p faults, where existing two-delay protocols stall.

Reforge: Low-Latency Distributed GNN Serving with Selective Embedding Recomputation

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been widely adopted for their ability to compute expressive node representations in graph datasets. However, serving GNNs on large graphs is challenging due to the high communication, computation, and memory overheads of constructing and executing computation graphs, which represent information flow across large neighborhoods. Existing approximation techniques in training can mitigate the overheads but, in serving, still lead to high latency and/or accuracy loss. To this end, we propose Reforge, a system that enables low-latency GNN serving for large graphs with minimal accuracy loss through two key ideas. First, Reforge employs selective recomputation of precomputed embeddings, which allows for reusing precomputed computation subgraphs while selectively recomputing a small fraction to minimize accuracy loss. Second, we develop computation graph parallelism, which reduces communication overhead by parallelizing the creation and execution of computation graphs across machines. Our evaluation with large graph datasets and GNN models shows that Reforge significantly outperforms state-of-the-art techniques.
