SST 9.1.0 Released

SST v9.1.0 is now available and can be downloaded here

The SST v9.1.0 release follows the standard release process of having our point releases provide improved performance and stability.

A selection of the improvement highlights are:

General:

• SST v9.1.0 includes a small number of fixes to elements and core to address compiler warnings and small improvements to simulation performance and robustness.
• SST now contains support for modeling GPUs via the Balar component. This component only works with Cuda-based applications and requires the Ariel component to drive the host portion of the simulation. It is expected that this will undergo substantive changes before the next release.

SST-Core:

• Update ELI and Subcomponent interfaces
• Fixes known issues with automatic Python config generator
• Fixes known issues with graph (dot) representation of configurations
• Support for custom discrete event sorting in the SST core

SST-Elements:

• Improved multi-thread support for IBM’s memory controller module (CramSim)
• Ariel memory management support now isolated into sub-component interface for improved customizability
• Reduced simulation time in large-scale SHMEM simulations through data structure optimization
• Added the Balar GPU model, derived from GPGPU-Sim
• The –with-cuda=[DIR] switch can be used during configure to specify the root directory for a CUDA installation
• The –with-gpgpusim=[DIR] switch can be used during configure to specify the root directory for a GPGPU-Sim installation

SST-Macro:

• Improved documentation
• Bug fixes and stability improvements
• Added new network models supporting QoS
• Added new network statistics and performance counters
• Compiler wrapper improvements for auto-skeletonization
