| contents | The design space exploration of scaled-out manycores for communication-intensive applications (e.g., graph analytics and sparse linear algebra) is hampered due to either lack of scalability or accuracy of existing frameworks at simulating data-dependent execution patterns. This paper presents MuchiSim, a novel parallel simulator designed to address these challenges when exploring the design space of distributed multi-chiplet manycore architectures. We evaluate MuchiSim at simulating systems with up to a million interconnected processing units (PUs) while modeling data movement and communication cycle by cycle. In addition to performance, MuchiSim reports the energy, area, and cost of the simulated system. It also comes with a benchmark application suite and two data visualization tools. MuchiSim supports various parallelization strategies and communication primitives such as task-based parallelization and message passing, making it highly relevant for architectures with software-managed coherence and distributed memory. Via a case study, we show that MuchiSim helps users explore the balance between memory and computation units and the constraints related to chiplet integration and inter-chip communication. MuchiSim enables evaluating new techniques or design parameters for systems at scales that are more realistic for modern parallel systems, opening the gate for further research in this area. |
