Abstract Exact combinatorial search is essential to a wide range of important applications, and there are many large problems that need to be solved quickly. Searches are extremely challenging to parallelise due to a combination of factors, e.g. searches are non-deterministic, dynamic pruning changes the workload, and search tasks have very different runtimes. YewPar is a C++/HPX framework that generalises parallel search by providing a range of sophisticated search skeletons.This paper demonstrates generic high performance combinatorial search, i.e. that a variety of exact combinatorial searches can be easily parallelised for HPC using YewPar. We present a new mechanism for profiling key aspects of YewPar parallel combinatorial search, and demonstrate its value. We exhibit, for the first time, generic exact combinatorial searches at HPC scale. We baseline YewPar against state-of-the-art sequential C++ and C++/OpenMP implementations. We demonstrate that deploying YewPar on an HPC system can dramatically reduce the runtime of large problems, e.g. from days to just 100s. The maximum relative speedups we achieve for an enumeration search are near-linear up to 195(6825) compute-nodes(workers), super-linear for an optimisation search on up to 128(4480) (pruning reduces the workload), and sub-linear for decision searches on up to 64(2240) compute-nodes(workers).
