[JLSE-Intel-NDA] Where are the libraries?
by Lorenzo Pesce 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

I am new to KNL and JLSE. I am trying to understand what I need to build for our project. I am pretty sure that you have MKL and many other libraries, but before I start find on root, or scrape all web pages of ANL, I figured that I might ask. I am OK rebuilding everything from python to BLAS, or FFTW, but my suspicion is that they are somewhere already. Thanks a lot, Lorenzo Lorenzo Pesce The Computation Institute The University of Chicago and Argonne National laboratories lpesce(a)uchicago.edu

KNL doesn't have hardware counters for flops, which is why PAPI doesn't provide PAPI_FP_OPS. This is a problem on a number of current Intel platforms. From Vtune you can get a upper bound flops estimate based on the UOPS_RETIRED.PACKED_SIMD and UOPS_RETIRED.SCALAR_SIMD counters. This assumes things like the vector length of instructions is always 8, that FMA are used, and there is no masking, which is never going to be always true and therefore this can only be an upper bound. From Intel Advisor you can get an accurate FLOP count, but this is done via analysis and instrumentation of the binary so it will slow the code execution down noticeably.

Hi Jed, Even if I was not using MPI_Init directly, I was using the ScaLAPACK BLACS interface, which I compiled for the underlying MPI environment. So the wrapper blacs_grid_init_ should have called required MPI routines I thought, though I didn't check. blacs_get_( &i_negone, &i_zero, &ictxt ); blacs_gridinit_( &ictxt, "C", &nprocs, &i_one ); // timer t1 = MPI_Wtime(); Best, Tania ________________________________________ From: Jed Brown <jed(a)jedbrown.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2017 9:58 PM To: Banerjee,Tania; Hammond, Jeff R Cc: intel-nda(a)jlse.anl.gov Subject: Re: [JLSE-Intel-NDA] Timing in ScaLAPACK BLACS framework "Banerjee,Tania" <tmishra(a)ufl.edu> writes: > Hi Jed, > > Indeed, t2-t1=0 always.

The MPI standard doesn't require that MPI_Wtime work before MPI_Init(), though many implementations will happen to work. If you need timing outside of MPI_Init/MPI_Finalize, use clock_gettime() or gettimeofday().

If you need timing outside of MPI_Init/MPI_Finalize, use clock_gettime() or gettimeofday(). The former is POSIX and preferred while the latter is deprecated, but clock_gettime isn't available on OSX. > So it seems to me that for Intel MKL BLACS we may need a different > mechanism for measuring the time.

[JLSE-Intel-NDA] Measuring throughput on KNL
by Banerjee,Tania 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi, How to measure throughput (GFLOPs/second) of a program on KNL? Normally I use PAPI to count the floating point operations (PAPI_FP_OPS / PAPI_FP_INS) and divide that by the time taken. But papi_avail reveals that these events are not supported on KNL. The output of /soft/perftools/tau/papi-knl/bin/papi_avail is given below.

Dear Preeti, Yes, I declared t1 and t2 as doubles, but still was getting 0, but only in the blacs environment. Jeff: clock_gettime is working great for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Jed: I have been awake since 1 AM so my mental fidelity is low. I use format specifiers in a consistent way across I/O functions. For e.g. scanf, you need to do as I indicated, although you are correct that printf does not care. Tania: Try clock_gettime(MONOTONIC) instead.

Tania, have you printed t2-t1? The absolute value is of no significance.

Hi Jed, Indeed, t2-t1=0 always. If I use MPI_Wtime with a MPI program (that uses MPI_Init), this is not a problem and MPI_Wtime() works fine. So it seems to me that for Intel MKL BLACS we may need a different mechanism for measuring the time. I was looking up Intel Trace Collector timing mechanism, but thought I would ask before it gets too complex. https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/561437 Thanks, Tania ________________________________________ From: Jed Brown <jed(a)jedbrown.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2017 8:22 AM To: Hammond, Jeff R; Banerjee,Tania Cc: intel-nda(a)jlse.anl.gov Subject: Re: [JLSE-Intel-NDA] Timing in ScaLAPACK BLACS framework "Hammond, Jeff R" <jeff.r.hammond(a)intel.com> writes: > MPI wtime returns a double.
