Making Powerful Enemies on NVIDIA GPUs

Abstract

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are widely used in safety-critical real-time systems such as autonomous vehicles due to their high performance on artificial intelligence (AI) work-loads. As the computing power of recent GPUs keeps growing, it becomes increasingly possible to allow multiple independent programs to access the GPU concurrently. This complicates timing analysis, as contention for shared GPU resources renders execution times less predictable and worst-case execution times (WCETs) difficult to estimate. This paper provides a method for producing enemy programs that intentionally contend for GPU resources in order to enable more confident measurement-based WCET estimations. This paper provides an experiment-driven method to design effective enemy programs for several different interference channels—specific shared resources within the GPU through which concurrent computations may impact others' execution times. The method is flexible and can be applied to different GPU sharing mechanisms. The enemies are evaluated against a large number of real GPU applications, and the results indicate that these enemies cause higher slowdowns for GPU tasks than other baseline resource-stressing methods.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
