It does not care about the programming model you used. So we need a few general ‘definitions’ : PE : Processing Elements Basically an Unix ‘Process’, can be a MPI Task, CAF image, UPC tread, … Numa_node Numa node The cores and memory on a node with ‘flat’ memory access, basically one of the 4 Dies on the Interlagos processor and the direct attach memory. y Thread A thread is contained inside a process. Multiple threads can exist within the same process and share resources such as p memory, while y, different PEs do not share these resources. Most likely you will use OpenMP threads. 23 Running an application on the Cray XE6 some basic examples • Assuming a XE6 IL16 system (32 cores per node) • Pure MPI application, using all the available cores in a node $ aprun –n 32 ./a.out • Pure MPI application, using only 1 core per node 32 MPI tasks, 32 nodes with 32*32 cores allocated Can be done to increase the available memory for the MPI tasks $ aprun –N N 1 –n 32 –d d 32 ./a.out / t (we’ll talk about the need for the –d32 later) • Hybrid MPI/OpenMP application, 4 MPI ranks per node 32 MPI tasks, 8 OpenMP threads each k h d h need to set OMP_NUM_THREADS $ export p OMP_NUM_THREADS=8 $ aprun –n 32 –N 4 –d $OMP_NUM_THREADS 24 aprun CPU Affinity control • CNL can dynamically distribute work by allowing PEs and threads to migrate from one CPU to another within a node • In some cases, moving PEs or threads from CPU to CPU increases cache and In some cases moving PEs or threads from CPU to CPU increases cache and Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) misses and therefore reduces performance • CPU affinity options enable to bind a PE or thread to a particular CPU or a subset of CPUs on a node subset of CPUs on a node • aprun CPU affinity option (see man aprun) Default settings : ‐cc cpu PEs are bound a to specific core depended on the d setting PEs are bound a to specific core, depended on the –d setting Binding PEs to a specific numa node : ‐cc numa_node PEs are not bound to a specific core but cannot ‘leave’ their numa_node No binding : ‐cc none Own binding : ‐cc 0,4,3,2,1,16,18,31,9,… 25 Memory affinity control • Cray XE6 systems use dual‐socket compute nodes with 4 dies Each die (8 cores) is considered a NUMA‐node • Remote‐NUMA‐node memory references, can adversely affect performance. Even if you PE and threads are bound to a specific numa node Even if you PE and threads are bound to a specific numa_node, the memory used does not have to be ‘local’ • aprun memory affinity options (see man aprun) Suggested setting is –ss a PE can only allocate the memory local to its assigned NUMA node If this is not possible your application will crash node. If this is not possible, your application will crash. 26 Running an application on the Cray XE ‐ MPMD • aprun supports MPMD – Multiple Program Multiple Data • Launching several executables on the same MPI_COMM_WORLD $ aprun –n 128 exe1 : -n 64 exe2 : -n 64 exe3 • Notice : Each exacutable needs a dedicated node, exe1 and exe2 cannot share a node. Example : The following commands needs 3 nodes $ aprun –n 1 exe1 : -n 1 exe2 : -n 1 exe3 • Use a script to start several serial jobs on a node : $ aprun –a xt –n 3 script.sh >cat script.sh ./exe1& ./exe2& ./exe3& wait > 27 How to use the interlagos 1/3 1 MPI Rank on Each Integer Core Mode MPI Task 0 November 7, 2011 Shared Components MPI Task 1 Fetch Decode FP Scheduler L1 DCache Cray Proprietary Pipeline Pipeline Pipeline 128--bit FMA 128 AC Int Core 1 128--bit FMA 128 AC Pipeline Pipeline Int Core 0 Int Scheduler Pipeline Int Scheduler Pipeline each integer core ● Implications ● Each core has exclusive access to an Each core has exclusive access to an integer scheduler, integer pipelines and L1 Dcache ● The 256‐bit FP unit and the L2 Cache is shared between the two cores ● 256‐bit AVX instructions are dynamically executed as two 128‐bit instructions if the 2nd FP unit is busy instructions if the 2 FP unit is busy ● When to use ● Code is highly scalable to a large number of MPI ranks ● Code can run with 1 GB per core memory footprint (or 2 GB on 64 GB node) ● Code is not well vectorized Pipeline ● In this mode, an MPI task is pinned to L1 DCache Shared L2 Cache 28 Slide 28 How to use the interlagos 2/3 Wide AVX mode November 7, 2011 Active Components Fetch Decode FP Scheduler L1 DCache Cray Proprietary Pipeline Pipeline Pipeline 128--bit FMA 128 AC Int Core 1 128--bit FMA 128 AC Pipeline Pipeline Int Core 0 Int Scheduler Pipeline Int Scheduler Pipeline used per core pair ● Implications ● This core has exclusive This core has exclusive access to access to the 256‐bit FP unit and is capable of 8 FP results per clock cycle ● The core has twice the memory The core has twice the memory capacity and memory bandwidth in this mode ● The L2 cache is effectively twice as large ● The peak of the chip is not reduced ● When to use ● Code is highly vectorized and makes use of AVX instructions ● Code needs more memory per MPI rankk Idle Components Pipeline thi d l i t i ● IIn this mode, only one integer core is L1 DCache Shared L2 Cache 29 Slide 29 How to use the interlagos 3/3 2‐way OpenMP Mode November 7, 2011 Cray Proprietary Shared Components OpenMP Thread 1 Fetch Decode FP Scheduler L1 DCache Pipeline Pipeline Pipeline 128--bit FMA 128 AC Int Core 1 128--bit FMA 128 AC Pipeline Pipeline Int Core 0 Int Scheduler S h d l Pipeline Int Scheduler S h d l Pipeline core pair ● OpenMP is used to run a thread on each i t integer core ● Implications ● Each OpenMP thread has exclusive access to an integer scheduler integer access to an integer scheduler, integer pipelines and L1 Dcache ● The 256‐bit FP unit and the L2 Cache is shared between the two threads ● 256‐bit AVX instructions are dynamically executed as two 128‐bit instructions if the 2nd FP unit is busy ● When to use When to use ● Code needs a large amount of memory per MPI rank p p p ● Code has OpenMP parallelism exposed in each MPI rank OpenMP Thread 0 Pipeline ● In this mode, an MPI task is pinned to a L1 DCache Shared L2 Cache 30 Slide 30 Aprun: cpu_lists for each PE • CLE was updated to allow threads and processing elements to have more flexibility in placement. This is ideal for processor architectures whose cores share resources with which they hit t h h ith hi h th may have to wait to utilize. Separating cpu_lists by colons (:) allows the user to specify the cores used by processing elements and their child processes or threads. Essentially, this provides the user more granularity to specify Essentially, this provides the user more granularity to specify cpu_lists for each processing element. Here an example with 3 threads : aprun n 4 N 4 cc 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 aprun ‐n 4 ‐N 4 ‐cc 1,3,5:7,9,11:13,15,17:19,21,23 • Note: This feature will be modified in CLE 4.0.UP03, however p this option will still be valid. 31 ‐cc detailed example export OMP_NUM_THREADS=2 aprun -n 4 -N 2 -d 2 -cc 0,2:4,6:8,10:12,14 ./acheck_mpi nid00028[ 0] on cpu 00 affinity for thread 0 is: cpu nid00028[ 0] on cpu 02 affinity for thread 1 is: cpu nid00028[ 1] on cpu 04 affinity for thread 0 is: cpu nid00028[ 1] on cpu 06 affinity for thread 1 is: cpu nid00572[ 2] on cpu 00 affinity for thread 0 is: cpu nid00572[ 2] on cpu 02 affinity for thread 1 is: cpu nid00572[ 3] on cpu 04 affinity for thread 0 is: cpu nid00572[ 3] on cpu 06 affinity for thread 1 is: cpu Application 3024546 resources: utime ~2s, stime ~0s aprun -n 4 -N 4 -d 2 -cc 0,2:4,6:8,10:12,14 ./acheck_mpi nid00028[ 0] on cpu 00 affinity for nid00028[ 2] on cpu 08 affinity for nid00028[ 0] on cpu 02 affinity for nid00028[ id00028[ 1] on cpu 06 affinity ffi it for f nid00028[ 3] on cpu 12 affinity for nid00028[ 2] on cpu 10 affinity for nid00028[ 1] on cpu 04 affinity for p 14 affinity y for nid00028[ 3] on cpu Application 3024549 resources: utime thread 0 is: cpu thread 0 is: cpu thread 1 is: cpu thread th d 1 is: i cpu thread 0 is: cpu thread 1 is: cpu thread 0 is: cpu thread 1 is: cpu p ~0s, stime ~0s 0, 2, 4, 6, 0, 2 2, 4, 6, mask mask mask mask mask mask mask mask 1 001 00001 0000001 1 001 00001 0000001 0, 8, 2, 6 6, 12, 10, 4, 14, mask mask mask mask k mask mask mask mask 1 000000001 001 0000001 0000000000001 00000000001 00001 000000000000001 32 Running a batch application with Torque • The number of required nodes and cores is determined by the parameters specified in the job header #PBS -l l mppwidth=256 idth 256 (MPP width: idth number b of f PE’ PE’s ) #PBS -l mppnppn=4 (MPP number of PE’s per node) • • • • This example uses 256/4=64 nodes p / The job is submitted by the qsub command At the end of the execution output and error files are returned to submission directory PBS environment variable: $PBS_O_WORKDIR Set to the directory from which the job has been submitted Set to the directory from which the job has been submitted Default is $HOME man qsub for env. variables 33 Other Torque options • #PBS ‐N job_name the job name is used to determine the name of job output and error files • #PBS ‐l walltime=hh:mm:ss Maximum job elapsed time Maximum job elapsed time should be indicated whenever possible: this allows Torque to determine best scheduling startegy g gy • #PBS ‐j oe job error and output files are merged in a single file • #PBS ‐q queue request execution on a specific queue 34 Torque and aprun Torque aprun ‐lmppwidth=$PE ‐n $PE Number of PE to start ‐lmppdepth=$threads lmppdepth=$threads ‐d $threads d $threads #threads/PE ‐lmppnppn=$N ‐N $N #(PEs per node) <none> ‐S $S #(PEs per numa_node) ‐lmem=$size ‐m $size[h|hs] per‐PE required memory • -B will provide aprun with the Torque settings for –n,-N,-d and –m aprun –B ./a.out /a out • Using –S can produce problems if you are not asking for a full node.
