From: Vitali Morozov <morozov(a)anl.gov> ALCF Benchmarking and Performance Comparisons Vitali Morozov Argonne Leadership Computing Facility When building a new supercomputer, the diversity of available hardware components is making very challenging to make proper design choices and keep the right balance between them. Developing a piece of hardware, that universally fits all general purpose application needs has been proven infeasible and the design choice is usually made based on study and analysis of a workload that the supercomputer center is expected to run on a new machine. At ALCF, we are working on a set of benchmarks, that target the majority of perspective pieces of hardware and we collect statistics on how different hardware responds to different workloads. The benchmarks are covering a diverse set of ALCF workloads, starting from the kernels that exercise only one hardware feature at a time (vectorization benchmark, streaming data, staging memory, caching hierarchy), to the mini-applications that contain a simplified version of a realistic workload, to the full applications that are running on ALCF p roduction resource. We will be using the diversity of JLSE hardware resources to improve our knowledge database on available hardware features and see their responses on the ALCF workloads. We plan to use this knowledge on developing the lessons learned and good programming practices for utilizing these features in real world on ALCF production resources.

From: Vitali Morozov <morozov(a)anl.gov> SKOPE - SKeleton for wOrkload Performance Exploration Vitali Morozov Argonne Leadership Computing Facility ALCF continues to develop a performance analysis, tuning, and projection framework named SKOPE - SKeleton for wOrkload Performance Exploration. Understanding a workload behaviour has already become a critical step in performance studies; it plays an important role in the design and adoption of new algorithms and hardware. SKOPE provides an abstract language for algorithmic description of a workload, a framework for internal representation the workload, an API to describe the target hardware platform, a set of tools to develop performance analysis and generate performance projection of a workload on a given platform, and a tool to allow for transformation of the workload to better fit into the hardware.

From: Kazutomo Yoshii <kazutomo(a)mcs.anl.gov> Investigating thermal and power characteristics of the Haswell processors Kazutomo Yoshii Kazutomo Yoshii We will explore new features in Intel Haswell processors that particularly affects thermal and power behavior, which will create the performance variability. Its fully integrated voltage regulator (FIVR) will provide lower switching latencies and finer granularity than before, however, FIVR itself also becomes a possible heat source. Its turboboost, which is a thermal-aware mechanism, poses a new challenge: the gap between the TDP frequency and the turboboost frequency is more than 1 GHz on some model, and the frequency range for FPU intensive workloads is introduced. We will port our thermal and power monitoring software for Haswell and explore new control features introduced in Haswell.

Hi Ben, Sorry for the slow response - took a while to catch up on emails after SC14. Yes, I would still need a 4x10GbE public connected resource in JLSE. For the spec, can we go with the recommendation provided here? https://fasterdata.es.net/science-dmz/DTN/hardware-selection/ Thanks, Raj On Nov 24, 2014, at 3:43 PM, Allen, Benjamin S. <bsallen(a)alcf.anl.gov> wrote: > Hi Raj, > > Operations has been discussing what todo with the Tubes testbed so it more appropriately sits in one of JLSE's public network subnets. > > We're interested the timeline of returning the DTN hardware that makes up Tubes back to production, so I want to explore what hardware we have in JLSE that could be reasonably updated to provide a similar resource if needed. > > First do we still need a 4x10GbE public connected resource in JLSE? > > If we're going to re-use JLSE hardware or build a replacement, what would your ideal "Tubes" testbed be spec'ed like, CPU, memory, etc. Note, we don't have 40GbE switch ports, so I can only replace the machine with another that has 4x10GbE either connected through JLSE's switches or directly to Donald (ALCF's core router in 240). > > Thanks, > > Ben
