Al-Salam/CCG Downtime tasks
- LDAP Server migration from bs-new -> hopper
- yum update over all nodes
- Turn HT off
- PVFS
How to use the PetaKit
- If you do not already have it, obtain the source for the PetaKit from the CVS repository on hopper (curriculum-modules/PetaKit).
- cd to the Subkits directory of PetaKit and run the area-subkit.sh to make an area subkit tarball or GalaxSee-subkit.sh to make a GalaxSee subkit tarball.
- scp the tarball to the target resource and unpack it.
- cd into the directory and run ./configure --with-mpi --with-openmp
- Use stat.pl and args_man to make an appropriate statistics run. See args_man for a description of predicates. Example:
perl -w stat.pl --program area --style serial,mpi,openmp,hybrid --scheduler lsf --user leemasa --problem_size 200000000000 --processes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-16-64 --repetitions 10 -m -tag Sooner-strongest-newest --mpirun mpirun.lsf --ppn 8
Modifying Programs for Use with PetaKit
Current To-Do
Date represents last meeting where we discussed the item
- Brad's Graphing Tool (28/Feb/10)
* Nice new functionality, see * Waiting on clean data to finish multiple resource displays * Error bars for left and right y-axes with checkboxes for each
- TeraGrid Runs (28/Feb/10)
In first box: Put initial of who is doing run
In second box: B = builds, R = runs, D = reports back to database, S = there is a good set of runs (10 per data point) for strong scaling in the database that appear on a graph, W = there is a good set of runs (10 per data point) for weak scaling in the database that appear on a graph

- ACL: 18000000000
- New cluster (5/Feb/10)
* wiki page * Decommission Cairo * Figure out how to mount on Telco Rack * Get pdfs of all materials -- post them on wiki
- BCCD Testing (5/Feb/10)
* Get Fitz's liberation instructions into wiki * Get Kevin's VirtualBox instructions into wiki * pxe booting -- see if they booted, if you can ssh to them, if the run matrix works * Send /etc/bccd-revision with each email * Send output of netstat -rn and /sbin/ifconfig -a with each email * Run Matrix * For the future: scripts to boot & change bios, watchdog timer, 'test' mode in bccd, send emails about errors * USB scripts -- we don't need the "copy" script
- SIGCSE Conference -- March 10-13 (28/Feb/10)
* Leaving 8:00 Wednesday * Brad, Sam, or Gus pick up the van around 7, bring it by loading dock outside Noyes * Posters -- new area runs for graphs, start implementing stats collection and OpenMP, print at small size (what is that?) * Take 2 LittleFes, small switch, monitor/kyb/mouse (wireless), printed matter
- Spring Cleaning (Noyes Basement) (5/Feb/10)
* Next meeting: Saturday 6/Feb @ 3 pm
Generalized, Modular Parallel Framework
10,000 foot view of problems
Parent Process Sends Out | Children Send Back | Results Compiled By | |
---|---|---|---|
Area | function, bounds, segment size or count | sum of area for specified bounds | sum |
GalaxSee | complete array of stars, bounds (which stars to compute) | an array containing the computed stars | construct a new array of stars and repeat for next time step |
Matrix x Matrix | n rows from Matrix A and n columns from Matrix B, location of rows and cols | n resulting matrix position values, their location in results matrix | construct new result array |
Visualizing Parallel Framework
http://cs.earlham.edu/~carrick/parallel/parallelism-approaches.png
Parallel Problem Space
- Dwarf (algorithm family)
- Style of parallelism (shared, distributed, GPGPU, hybrid)
- Tiling (mapping problem to work units to workers)
- Distribution algorithm (getting work units to workers)
Summer of Fun (2009)
An external doc for GalaxSee
Documentation for OpenSim GalaxSee

To Do
- Fitz/Charlie's message
- Petascale review
- BobSCEd stress test
Implementations of area under the curve
- Serial
- OpenMP (shared)
- MPI (message passing)
- MPI (hybrid mp and shared)
- OpenMP + MPI (hybrid)
GalaxSee Goals
- Good piece of code, serves as teaching example for n-body problems in petascale.
- Dials, knobs, etc. in place to easily control how work is distributed when running in parallel.
- Architecture generally supports hybrid model running on large-scale constellations.
- Produces runtime data that enables nice comparisons across multiple resources (scaling, speedup, efficiency).
- Render in BCCD, metaverse, and /dev/null environments.
- Serial version
- Improve performance on math?
GalaxSee - scale to petascale with MPI and OpenMP hybrid.
- GalaxSee - render in-world and steer from in-world.
- Area under a curve - serial, MPI, and OpenMP implementations.
- OpenMPI - testing, performance.
- Start May 11th
LittleFe
- Testing
- Documentation
- Touch screen interface
Notes from May 21, 2009 Review
- Combined Makefiles with defines to build on a particular platform
- Write a driver script for GalaxSee ala the area under the curve script, consider combining
- Schema
- date, program_name, program_version, style, command line, compute_resource, NP, wall_time
- Document the process from start to finish
- Consider how we might iterate over e.g. number of stars, number of segments, etc.
- Command line option to stat.pl that provides a Torque wrapper for the scripts.
- Lint all code, consistent formatting
- Install latest and greatest Intel compiler in /cluster/bobsced
