OMB (OSU Micro-Benchmarks) -------------------------- The OSU Micro-Benchmarks use the GNU build system. Therefore you can simply use the following steps if mpicc or oshcc is in your PATH. Example: ./configure make make install If your compiler is not in your path or you would like to use another particular version you can tell configure by setting CC. Example: ./configure CC=/path/to/mpicc make make install Configure will detect whether your library supports MPI-1, MPI-2, MPI-3, and OpenSHMEM to compile the corresponding benchmarks. See http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu/benchmarks/ to download the latest version of this package. This package also distributes UPC put, get, and collective benchmarks. These are located in the upc subdirectory and can be compiled by the following: upcc upc/osu_upc_memput.c -o upc/osu_upc_memput upcc upc/osu_upc_memget.c -o upc/osu_upc_memget upcc upc/osu_upc_all_barrier.c upc/osu_common.c \ -o upc/osu_upc_all_barrier upcc upc/osu_upc_all_broadcast.c upc/osu_common.c \ -o upc/osu_upc_all_broadcast upcc upc/osu_upc_all_exchange.c upc/osu_common.c \ -o upc/osu_upc_all_exchange upcc upc/osu_upc_all_gather_all.c upc/osu_common.c \ -o upc/osu_upc_all_gather_all upcc upc/osu_upc_all_gather.c upc/osu_common.c \ -o upc/osu_upc_all_gather upcc upc/osu_upc_all_reduce.c upc/osu_common.c \ -o upc/osu_upc_all_reduce.c upcc upc/osu_upc_all_scatter.c upc/osu_common.c \ -o upc/osu_upc_all_scatter The MPI Multiple Bandwidth / Message Rate (osu_mbw_mr), OpenSHMEM Put Message Rate (osu_oshm_put_mr), and OpenSHMEM Atomics (osu_oshm_atomics) tests are intended to be used with block assigned ranks. This means that all processes on the same machine are assigned ranks sequentially. Rank Block Cyclic ---------------------- 0 host1 host1 1 host1 host2 2 host1 host1 3 host1 host2 4 host2 host1 5 host2 host2 6 host2 host1 7 host2 host2 If you're using mpirun_rsh the ranks are assigned in the order they are seen in the hostfile or on the command line. Please see your process managers' documentation for information on how to control the distribution of the rank to host mapping. Point-to-Point MPI Benchmarks ----------------------------- osu_latency - Latency Test * The latency tests are carried out in a ping-pong fashion. The sender * sends a message with a certain data size to the receiver and waits for a * reply from the receiver. The receiver receives the message from the sender * and sends back a reply with the same data size. Many iterations of this * ping-pong test are carried out and average one-way latency numbers are * obtained. Blocking version of MPI functions (MPI_Send and MPI_Recv) are * used in the tests. This test is available here. osu_latency_mt - Multi-threaded Latency Test * The multi-threaded latency test performs a ping-pong test with a single * sender process and multiple threads on the receiving process. In this test * the sending process sends a message of a given data size to the receiver * and waits for a reply from the receiver process. The receiving process has * a variable number of receiving threads (set by default to 2), where each * thread calls MPI_Recv and upon receiving a message sends back a response * of equal size. Many iterations are performed and the average one-way * latency numbers are reported. This test is available here. osu_bw - Bandwidth Test * The bandwidth tests were carried out by having the sender sending out a * fixed number (equal to the window size) of back-to-back messages to the * receiver and then waiting for a reply from the receiver. The receiver * sends the reply only after receiving all these messages. This process is * repeated for several iterations and the bandwidth is calculated based on * the elapsed time (from the time sender sends the first message until the * time it receives the reply back from the receiver) and the number of bytes * sent by the sender. The objective of this bandwidth test is to determine * the maximum sustained date rate that can be achieved at the network level. * Thus, non-blocking version of MPI functions (MPI_Isend and MPI_Irecv) were * used in the test. This test is available here. osu_bibw - Bidirectional Bandwidth Test * The bidirectional bandwidth test is similar to the bandwidth test, except * that both the nodes involved send out a fixed number of back-to-back * messages and wait for the reply. This test measures the maximum * sustainable aggregate bandwidth by two nodes. This test is available here. osu_mbw_mr - Multiple Bandwidth / Message Rate Test * The multi-pair bandwidth and message rate test evaluates the aggregate * uni-directional bandwidth and message rate between multiple pairs of * processes. Each of the sending processes sends a fixed number of messages * (the window size) back-to-back to the paired receiving process before * waiting for a reply from the receiver. This process is repeated for * several iterations. The objective of this benchmark is to determine the * achieved bandwidth and message rate from one node to another node with a * configurable number of processes running on each node. The test is * available here. osu_multi_lat - Multi-pair Latency Test (requires threading support from MPI-2) * This test is very similar to the latency test. However, at the same * instant multiple pairs are performing the same test simultaneously. * In order to perform the test across just two nodes the hostnames must * be specified in block fashion.

These benchmarks work in the * following manner. Suppose users run the osu_bcast benchmark with N * processes, the benchmark measures the min, max and the average latency of * the MPI_Bcast collective operation across N processes, for various * message lengths, over a large number of iterations. In the default * version, these benchmarks report the average latency for each message * length. Additionally, the benchmarks offer the following options: * "-f" can be used to report additional statistics of the benchmark, such as min and max latencies and the number of iterations. * "-m" option can be used to set the maximum message length to be used in a benchmark. In the default version, the benchmarks report the latencies for up to 1MB message lengths. * "-x" can be used to set the number of warmup iterations to skip for each message length. * "-i" can be used to set the number of iterations to run for each message length. * "-M" can be used to set per process maximum memory consumption. By default the benchmarks are limited to 512MB allocations.

These evaluate the same * metrics as the blocking operations as well as the additional metric * `overlap'. This is defined as the amount of computation that can be * performed while the communication progresses in the background. * These benchmarks have the additional option: * "-t" set the number of MPI_Test() calls during the dummy computation, set CALLS to 100, 1000, or any number > 0.

Collective UPC Benchmarks ------------------------- osu_upc_all_barrier - UPC Barrier Latency Test osu_upc_all_broadcast - UPC Broadcast Latency Test osu_upc_all_scatter - UPC Scatter Latency Test osu_upc_all_gather - UPC Gather Latency Test osu_upc_all_gather_all - UPC GatherAll Latency Test osu_upc_all_reduce - UPC Reduce Latency Test osu_upc_all_exchange - UPC Exchange Latency Test Collective Latency Tests * The latest OMB Version includes benchmarks for various UPC collective * operations (upc_all_barrier, upc_all_broadcast, upc_all_scatter, * upc_all_gather, upc_all_gather_all, osu_upc_all_reduce, and * upc_all_exchange). These benchmarks work in the following manner. Suppose * users run the osu_upc_all_broadcast benchmark with N processes, the * benchmark measures the min, max and the average latency of the * upc_all_broadcast collective operation across N processes, for various * message lengths, over a large number of iterations. In the default * version, these benchmarks report the average latency for each message * length. Additionally, the benchmarks offer the following options: "-f" * can be used to report additional statistics of the benchmark, such as min * and max latencies and the number of iterations. "-m" option can be used * to set the maximum message length to be used in a benchmark. In the * default version, the benchmarks report the latencies for up to 1MB * message lengths. "-i" can be used to set the number of iterations to run * for each message length. CUDA and OpenACC Extensions to OMB ---------------------------------- CUDA Extensions to OMB can be enable by configuring the benchmark suite with --enable-cuda option as shown below. Similarly, OpenACC Extensions can be enabled by specifying the --enable-openacc option. The MPI library used should be able to support MPI communication from buffers in GPU Device memory. ./configure CC=/path/to/mpicc --enable-cuda --with-cuda-include=/path/to/cuda/include --with-cuda-libpath=/path/to/cuda/lib make make install The following benchmarks have been extended to evaluate performance of MPI communication using buffers on NVIDIA GPU devices. osu_bibw - Bidirectional Bandwidth Test osu_bw - Bandwidth Test osu_latency - Latency Test osu_put_latency - Latency Test for Put osu_get_latency - Latency Test for Get osu_put_bw - Bandwidth Test for Put osu_get_bw - Bandwidth Test for Get osu_put_bibw - Bidirectional Bandwidth Test for Put osu_acc_latency - Latency Test for Accumulate osu_cas_latency - Latency Test for Compare and Swap osu_fop_latency - Latency Test for Fetch and Op osu_allgather - MPI_Allgather Latency Test osu_allgatherv - MPI_Allgatherv Latency Test osu_allreduce - MPI_Allreduce Latency Test osu_alltoall - MPI_Alltoall Latency Test osu_alltoallv - MPI_Alltoallv Latency Test osu_bcast - MPI_Bcast Latency Test osu_gather - MPI_Gather Latency Test osu_gatherv - MPI_Gatherv Latency Test osu_reduce - MPI_Reduce Latency Test osu_reduce_scater - MPI_Reduce_scatter Latency Test osu_scatter - MPI_Scatter Latency Test osu_scatterv - MPI_Scatterv Latency Test osu_iallgather - MPI_Iallgather Latency Test osu_iallgatherv - MPI_Iallgatherv Latency Test osu_ialltoall - MPI_Ialltoall Latency Test osu_ialltoallv - MPI_Ialltoallv Latency Test osu_ialltoallw - MPI_Ialltoallw Latency Test osu_ibcast - MPI_Ibcast Latency Test osu_igather - MPI_Igather Latency Test osu_igatherv - MPI_Igatherv Latency Test osu_iscatter - MPI_Iscatter Latency Test osu_iscatterv - MPI_Iscatterv Latency Test If both CUDA and OpenACC support is enabled you can switch between the modes using the -d [cuda|openacc] option to the benchmarks. Whether a process allocates its communication buffers on the GPU device or on the host can be controlled at run-time. Use the -h option for more help. ./osu_latency -h Usage: osu_latency [options] [RANK0 RANK1] RANK0 and RANK1 may be `D' or `H' which specifies whether the buffer is allocated on the accelerator device or host memory for each mpi rank options: -d TYPE accelerator device buffers can be of TYPE `cuda' or `openac' -h print this help message Each of the pt2pt benchmarks takes two input parameters. The first parameter indicates the location of the buffers at rank 0 and the second parameter indicates the location of the buffers at rank 1. The value of each of these parameters can be either 'H' or 'D' to indicate if the buffers are to be on the host or on the device respectively. When no parameters are specified, the buffers are allocated on the host. The collective benchmarks will use buffers allocated on the device if the -d option is used otherwise the buffers will be allocated on the host. Examples: - mpirun_rsh -np 2 -hostfile hostfile MV2_USE_CUDA=1 osu_latency D D In this run, the latency test allocates buffers at both rank 0 and rank 1 on the GPU devices. - mpirun_rsh -np 2 -hostfile hostfile MV2_USE_CUDA=1 osu_bw D H In this run, the bandwidth test allocates buffers at rank 0 on the GPU device and buffers at rank 1 on the host. Setting GPU affinity -------------------- GPU affinity for processes is set before MPI_Init is called in the benchmarks. The process rank on a node is normally used to do this and different MPI launchers expose this information through different environment variables. The benchmarks use an environment variable called LOCAL_RANK to get this information. A script like below can be used to export this environment variable when using mpirun_rsh. This can be adapted to work with other MPI launchers and libraries. #!/bin/bash export LOCAL_RANK=$MV2_COMM_WORLD_LOCAL_RANK exec $* A copy of this script is installed as get_local_rank alongside the benchmarks. It can be used as follows: mpirun_rsh -np 2 -hostfile hostfile MV2_USE_CUDA=1 get_local_rank \ ./osu_latency D D
