• Abstract: We introduce PennyLane's Lightning suite, a collection of high-performance state-vector simulators targeting CPU, GPU, and HPC-native architectures and workloads. Quantum applications such as QAOA, VQE, and synthetic workloads are implemented to demonstrate the supported classical computing architectures and showcase the scale of problems that can be simulated using our tooling. We benchmark the performance of Lightning with backends supporting CPUs, as well as NVidia and AMD GPUs, and compare the results to other commonly used high-performance simulator packages, demonstrating where Lightning's implementations give performance leads. We show improved CPU performance by employing explicit SIMD intrinsics and multi-threading, batched task-based execution across multiple GPUs, and distributed forward and gradient-based quantum circuit executions across multiple nodes. Our data shows we can comfortably simulate a variety of circuits, giving examples with up to 30 qubits on a single device or node, and up to 41 qubits using multiple nodes.

We introduce INR-Arch, a framework that transforms the computation graph of an nth-order gradient into a hardware-optimized dataflow architecture. We present results that demonstrate 1.8-4.8x and 1.5-3.6x speedup compared to CPU and GPU baselines respectively.

  This work introduces a framework to develop efficient, portable Deep Learning and High Performance Computing kernels. We decompose the kernel development in two steps: 1) Expressing the computational core using Processing Primitives (TPPs) and 2) Expressing the logical loops around TPPs in a high-level, declarative fashion. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach using standalone kernels and end-to-end workloads that outperform state-of-the-art implementations on diverse CPU platforms.

  Mini-batch training of graph neural networks (GNNs) requires a lot of computation and data movement. We argue in favor of performing mini-batch training with neighborhood sampling in a distributed multi-GPU environment. We present a sequence of improvements to mitigate these bottlenecks, including a performance-engineered neighborhood sampler. We also conduct an empirical analysis that supports the use of sampling for inference, showing that test accuracies are not materially compromised.
