A little more results for STREAM. Flat more, alltoall. The results from memory were obtained by using default STREAM with static allocation. The results from MCDRAM were obtained by using modified STREAM with hbwmalloc.h interface. 1 MPI process, 64 threads, scatter affinity, no numactl is used. Most results are as expected: 80 GB/s from DDR memory, 420 GB/s from MCDRAM, the MCDRAM size is about 16 GB, the aggregate L2 cache size is 32 MB. Noticed inconsistencies for hbwmalloc benchmarks: 1. The result is not validated - will spend more time on that tomorrow. 2. hbw_malloc continues allocating data beyond the expected 16 GB up to 48 GB. This means it fails back to DDR if it cannot allocate in MCDRAM - not expected default behavior. It must fail if it does not have enough space.

The knl00 node is currently in Flat mode and All2All model. With this setup we can get 420 GB/s from IPM memory on STREAM Triad when using hbw_malloc and friends which was confirmed by both Vitali and I.

Changing the BIOS settings and warm rebooting seem to be problematic. Vitali and I were running earlier and could not get over 80 GB/s with any method even though memory capacity indicated flat mode.

Using numactl --membind is also problematic. The STREAM results when using this to launch the application were erratic, so it is also suggested not to use that. That means you will need to modify your code to use dynamic memory and hbw_malloc to exploit the IPM.

Will followup with more detailed results later.
