There was interest in discussing GPU-related topics from NVIDIA, in the Hybrid WG, since it's not directly (or at least exclusively) related to RMA. I'll try to get those WG calls started after this F2F meeting, as well. -- Pavan > On Sep 12, 2018, at 12:58 PM, khaled hamidouche via mpiwg-rma <mpiwg-rma(a)lists.mpi-forum.org> wrote: > > Yes, GPU Direct Async (GDS), breaks the semantics of MPI as it offloads the task to the GPU and follows the stream semantics rather than the request semantics.

Yes, GPU Direct Async (GDS), breaks the semantics of MPI as it offloads the task to the GPU and follows the stream semantics rather than the request semantics. All MPI Calls are non-blocking from the CPU perspective.

Joseph, Jim, all, I had brought up something similar to this during MPI-2.2. The biggest pushback on that proposal was that the MPI implementation might choose to decide what to support in hardware based on dynamic circumstances. The example given (by JeffS at that time) was memory registration. Something along these lines: I can do this in hardware as long as I can register the user memory, but when such memory registration fails I'll need to fallback to active messages. You are welcome to open the discussion again, but my guess is that the same pushback will still be there. -- Pavan > On Sep 12, 2018, at 7:21 AM, Jim Dinan via mpiwg-rma <mpiwg-rma(a)lists.mpi-forum.org> wrote: > > In addition to op, hardware acceleration can also be tied to datatype.

On the topic of accumulate info keys, https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/36 is the necessary first step to make the default sufficiently general for RMA to support all usage models. https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/46 was my idea for the next step. It is not very specific, but the intent was to allow the user to describe their use of RMA in detail. This could go all the way to a database of (op,basic_datatype,complete_datatype,max_count). I suspect a more pragmatic approach is to define additional keys we think implementations will actually use, such as: * no_noncontiguous_datatypes - exclude e.g. MPI_Type_vector with stride!=1 and anything else that might lead to pack/unpack. * max_count (or should it be max_target_count) - specify upper bound on message size.

In addition to op, hardware acceleration can also be tied to datatype. For example, MPI_SUM may be accelerated for integer types, but not floating point types. I think it's possible to support such a query using the recent tools interfaces. I created a ticket, so we remember to discuss: https://github.com/mpiwg-rma/rma-issues/issues/6 ~Jim.

Pavan, I listened in for the MPI-RMA WG telco yesterday and found some interesting points in it. In particular, I am interested in the discussion on atomics and same_op. I support the notion that MPI should choose a conservative default to make sure users do not run into surprising UB because the implementation expects or supports only same_op, which the user may not be aware of. As a developer of a framework built on top of MPI RMA I would also be interested in getting information from the MPI implementation on which atomic operations are actually supported in hardware on the current system, which would allow me to pick different implementations of a specific feature to fully exploit the available hardware capabilities (similar to C++ `std::atomic_is_lock_free`). Are there any plans to provide such an interface? This could be used in combination with an info key (say `native_op`) that promises that the user will only use a mix of operations that are supported in hardware, which would then avoid the required fall-back to active messages discussed yesterday. Last but not least, I am also interested in the shared memory optimization for collectives (iirc, MPI_DISCARD?). I couldn't find an issue on Github on this. Is there any publicly available information you can share? Any input would be much appreciated.

Noncoherent shared memory was discussed in MPI-3 days but we have no hardware to motivate it besides Intel SCC and that was not widely available. Now that things like NVIDIA UM exist, there is a nontrivial hardware platform that think about if we try to define such features. However, I’m not aware of NVIDIA publishing a formal memory model for CUDA or any generation of hardware. Furthermore, one cannot - AFAIK - run an real MPI process on a GPU, so one would only be able to reason about noncoherent window memory living on GPU(s) but accessed only by CPUs. That’s much less interesting. Anyways, Jeff who works for Intel defers to literally anybody else who lays claim to superior understanding of NVIDIA stuff. Another angle would be to try to align MPI shared memory with OpenCL 2.2 SVM variants. I know exactly who to talk to about that topic.
