Sparse compiler is a promising solution for sparse tensor algebra optimization. In compiler implementation, reduction in sparse-dense hybrid algebra plays a key role in performance. Though GPU provides various reduction semantics that can better utilize the parallel computing and memory bandwidth capacity, the central question is: how to elevate the flexible reduction semantics to sparse compilation theory that assumes serial execution. Specifically, we have to tackle two main challenges: (1) there are wasted parallelism by adopting static synchronization granularity (2) static reduction strategy limits optimization space exploration. We propose Sgap: segment group and atomic parallelism to solve these problems. Atomic parallelism captures the flexible reduction semantics to systematically analyze the optimization space of sparse-dense hybrid algebra on GPU. It is a new optimization technique beyond current compiler-based and open-source runtime libraries. Segment group elevates the flexible reduction semantics to suitable levels of abstraction in the sparse compilation theory. It adopts changeable group size and user-defined reduction strategy to solve challenge (1) and (2), respectively. Finally, we use GPU sparse matrix-matrix multiplication (SpMM) on the TACO compiler as a use case to demonstrate the effectiveness of segment group in reduction semantics elevation. We achieve up to 1.2x speedup over the original TACO’s SpMM kernels. We also apply new optimization techniques found by atomic parallelism to an open-source state-of-the-art SpMM library dgSPARSE. We achieve 1.6x – 2.3x speedup on the algorithm tuned with atomic parallelism.
