Summer of Fun (2009)

An external doc for GalaxSee Documentation for OpenSim GalaxSee

What's in the database?

GalaxSee (MPI) area-under-curve (MPI, openmpi) area-under-curve (Hybrid, openmpi)
acl0-5 bs0-5 GigE bs0-5 IB acl0-5 bs0-5 GigE bs0-5 IB acl0-5 bs0-5 GigE bs0-5 IB
np X-XX 2-20 2-48 2-48 2-12 2-48 2-48 2-20 2-48 2-48

What works so far? B = builds, R = runs, W = works

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

BobSCEd Upgrade

Build a new image for BobSCEd:

  1. One of the Suse versions supported for Gaussian09 on EM64T [v11.1] - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3; SuSE Linux 9.3, 10.3, 11.1; or SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 (see G09 platform list)
  2. C3 tools and configuration [v4.0.1]
  3. Ganglia and configuration [v3.1.2]
  4. PBS and configuration [v2.3.16]
  5. /cluster/bobsced local to bs0
  6. /cluster/... passed-through to compute nodes
  7. Large local scratch space on each node
  8. Gaussian09
  9. WebMO and configuration [v9.1]
  10. Infiniband and configuration
  11. GNU toolchain with OpenMPI and MPICH [GCC v4.4.0], [OpenMPI v1.3.2] [MPICH v1.2.7p1]
  12. Intel toolchain with OpenMPI and native libraries

Fix the broken nodes.
