HPC Performance & Development Tuning tools for scientists to go parallel faster with allinea
- 1. Get Performance on Intel® Xeon Phi™ with Allinea MAP and Allinea DDT Discovering bottlenecks without pain
- 2. In my Parallel Universe… … we develop new antibiotics faster than bacteria develop resistance ... every household can prototype and evolve their own 3D-printed designs … accurate simulation of the natural world is taken for granted
- 3. So I decided to… … create parallel development tools for scientists: We’re accelerating the pace of scientific progress
- 4. HPC on the critical path to progress Single Core Era Multi-Core Era Many-Core Era Constraints : Constraints : Constraints : -Power -Power -Parallel software availability -Scalability -Programming models Performance -Complexity of algorithms Time(years)
- 5. Allinea MAP Increase application performance • Parallel profiler designed for: ‒ C/C++, Fortran ‒ MPI code Interdependent or independent processes ‒ Multithreaded code Monitor the main threads for each process ‒ Accelerated codes GPUs, Intel® Xeon Phi™ • Improve productivity : ‒ Helps you detect performance issues quickly and easily ‒ Tells you immediately where your time is spent in your source code ‒ Helps you to optimize your application efficiently
- 6. Allinea MAP 4.2 New features in 2013 • Support for I/O metrics ‒ I/O can be a major bottleneck in HPC systems ‒ Find the optimal configuration for your file system. Benefit : Broader profiling and analysis capabilities to solve even more performance issues. • Support for Intel® Xeon Phi™ ‒ Already supported on Allinea DDT ‒ Officially extended to profiling Benefit : Ensure you are getting the best performance from new technology.
- 7. Optimizing for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Where do you start? “Code that’s well-optimized for the host usually performs pretty well on the cards” - Almost everybody
- 8. Optimizing for Intel® Xeon Phi™ But what matters? Vectorization Performance Other stuff
- 9. Optimizing for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Is my code well-vectorized? … maybe?
- 10. Allinea Performance Reports Is my code well-vectorized?
- 11. Optimizing for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Is my code well-vectorized? … maybe?
- 12. Optimizing for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Is my code well-vectorized? Not in this loop (16.5% of total time) … maybe?
- 13. Allinea DDT Unified interface for debugging • Full, graphical debugger designed for : ‒ C/C++, Fortran, Intel® Xeon Phi™, UPC, … ‒ MPI, OpenMP and mixed-mode code • Unified interface with Allinea MAP : ‒ Just what you need when you’ve added OpenMP and now everything segfaults! ‒ One interface eliminates learning curve ‒ Spend more time on your results • Slash your time to develop : ‒ Reproduces and triggers your bugs instantly ‒ Helps you easily understand where issues come from quickly ‒ Helps you to fix them as swiftly as possible
- 14. Allinea at the forefront of science with COSMOS and Intel® Xeon Phi™ “While I was porting CAMB to offload certain parts of it to Intel® Xeon Phi™, I wasted weeks debugging it because the offloads were basically opaque. I only had print statements to help me.”
- 15. Allinea at the forefront of science with COSMOS and Intel® Xeon Phi™ “Using DDT's new offload debugging I can now look at the offload code and look at the state of the array on the Intel® Xeon Phi™ side before it is manipulated”
- 16. Allinea at the forefront of science with COSMOS and Intel® Xeon Phi™ Fix is easy - either set NOCOPY->IN or just set the thing to zero on the MIC side which is probably cheaper.”
- 17. Allinea at the forefront of science with COSMOS and Intel® Xeon Phi™ “I’m now using MAP – it shows that the code is fairly well vectorised at 70%. This will have to be improved a bit to get the most out of the coprocessors.”
- 18. Allinea Software • Ten years of high-quality development tools ‒ Leading in HPC software tools market worldwide ‒ Global customer base • Making parallel programming accessible to the widest range of scientists and programmers ‒ Design an unrivaled productive and easy-to-use development environment… ‒ … To help you reach the highest level of performance and scalability ‒ Define a new standard of customer support

Hinweis der Redaktion
- It’s not often that marketing lives up to its hype, but something we’ve consistently heard from users around the world porting their codes to Xeon Phi is that – once they’ve done a good job of optimizing for the host – the performance on the Phi is normally pretty good right away.
- The reason is that even on a standard Xeon these days, you need to take advantage of vectorized instructions to get good performance. With 512-bit registers, vectorization is absolutely critical to achieving good performance on the Xeon Phi. There’s no point in sending all the cars down one lane of the highway!
- The Intel compilers can give very detailed reports about what they’re doing to each loop using the –vec-report flags, but even on a small program you need to know which loops are worth spending your time on and which you can ignore.
- Allinea MAP shows you the behavior of your code at a single glance – let me briefly walk you through the interface here. <talk about how to interpret the metric graphs and the sparkline graphs next to the code viewer. Finish by pointing out that the CPU floating-point vector graph is at 0 for the selected region of time!
- This is Allinea MAP’s answer to our question – there’s an important loop taking 16.5% of the total program time that isn’t vectorizing at all! Now we know which lines of code are affected, we can ask the compiler for a report and investigate further.
- It’s not just profiling that works the same – our unified interface is shared with Allinea DDT, a full-featured debugger supporting a huge range of platforms and codes including the Xeon Phi.
- You can’t achieve full performance by looking through a microscope all the time – you have to be able to step back from the quest to vectorized the next loop, and the next, and ask “is this worth it? Is there a library I can use here? Can I refactor my code here?” MAP gives you the oversight and insight you need to answer these questions.
