  1. Performance analysis workflow Final Review | Felix Wolf (GRS)

  2. Tuning objectives for HPC systems • Success metrics • Scientific output (success stories) • Performance / scalability (e.g., record number of particles, Top500) • Focus different for different stakeholders

  3. Holistic performance system analysis System-wide performance screening of individual jobs EU Russia

  4. Approach

  5. HOPSA tools

  6. Overall HOPSA workflow Performance Screening Performance Diagnosis In-depth analysis Mandatory job screening with LWM2 and ClustrX User Intra-node performance Basic application + system metrics Paraver ThreadSpotter Job digest Application-leveltuning LAPTASystem performance database Vampir Inter-node performance Pro-active performance consulting Scalasca (Cube) Traces with application + system metrics Job Info of User Administrator Global workload data + job digests Full access System-level tuning LAPTA system-level analysis

  9. How to identify system bottlenecks

  10. Correlation of performance data across jobs App A System nodes App B • Time slices allow correlations between simultaneously running jobs to be identified App C Metric intensity App D Time-slices Correlation

  11. Conclusion • Users will learn of performance problems early on • Users have guidance in applying the tools to tune their codes • Selection of tools • Order of application • Seamless integration • Way of distinguishing system from application issues • Also helped us to better structure our trainings

  12. Light-Weight Measurement Module (LWM2) Final Review | Felix Wolf (GRS)

  13. Outline • Introduction • Profiling methodology • Low overhead • Inter-application interference • Results

  14. Lightweight Monitoring Module • Light-weight application profiler designed for system-wide performance screening of all jobs on a system • Key feature – allows identification of cross-application interferences • Designed for ease of use • Requires no application modification, compilation or relinking • Generates simple and useful performance output • Supports MPI, OpenMP and CUDA programming models

  15. LWM2 job digest

  16. LW2M profiling methodology • Light-weight combination of • Direct instrumentation via interposition wrappers (only communication and I/O metrics, no time measurements) • Low-overhead sampling • Aggregation of data for • Every time slice (all metrics, except sampling based) • Whole execution (execution digest) Periodic samples Application Execution Time-slices MPI calls, HWCs, etc. MPI calls, HWCs, etc. MPI calls, HWCs, etc. MPI calls, HWCs, etc.

  17. LWM2 profiling methodology (signals) • Signals counted separately per thread • Combined only at the end Thread storage Thread 1 Process storage Thread 0 Thread storage Thread 2

  18. LWM2 profiling methodology (wrappers) • Data from wrappers is stored in separate storage • Data is aggregated in situ per time slice Wrapper calls Thread storage Thread 1 Combines data at the end of time-slice Wakes up at the end of time-slice Process storage Thread 0 Heart-beatthread Thread storage Aggregates data into time-slices Thread 2

  19. LWM2 overhead • SPEC MPI 2007 benchmark suite

  20. Inter-application interference • Applications on HPC system usually have • Exclusive access to processors, local memory • Shared access to communication network and I/O subsystem • Results in applications effecting each others performance • Not captured with classic performance analysis tools • Requires capturing performance of all applications running on a system • Possible with LWM2

  21. File I/O interference • Setup: Simultaneous execution of application to detect I/O interference • Initial run: Constant file I/O alone, without any induced noise • Second run: Constant file I/O, concurrently with periodic file I/O as induced noise • Results: Clear drop in I/O performance (50%), longer execution time (35%)

  22. LWM2 status • Development completed • Release published on HOPSA Web site • Opt-in deployments at • GraphIT system, Moscow State University • JUDGE, Jülich Supercomputing Center • Being evaluated at • Todiand Pilatus, CSCS, Switzerland • Indy, EPCC, UK (APOS) • Research publication with MSU under preparation
