My mistake. I did not see the results for the large problem sizes. I was talking about the data for the smallest case. Now I am very surprised by the performance of MatSOR: -da_refine 1 ~2x slower on KNL -da_refine 2 ~2x faster on KNL -da_refine 3 ~2x faster on KNL -da_refine 4 almost the same KNL -da_refine 1 MatSOR 1185 1.0 2.8965e-01 1.1 7.01e+07 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 3 41 0 0 0 3 41 0 0 0 15231 -da_refine 2 MatSOR 1556 1.0 1.6883e+00 1.0 5.82e+08 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 11 44 0 0 0 11 44 0 0 0 22019 -da_refine 3 MatSOR 2240 1.0 1.4959e+01 1.0 5.51e+09 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 22 45 0 0 0 22 45 0 0 0 23571 -da_refine 4 MatSOR 2688 1.0 2.3942e+02 1.1 4.47e+10 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 36 45 0 0 0 36 45 0 0 0 11946 Haswell -da_refine 1 MatSOR 1167 1.0 1.4839e-01 1.1 1.42e+08 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 3 42 0 0 0 3 42 0 0 0 30450 -da_refine 2 MatSOR 1532 1.0 2.9772e+00 1.0 1.17e+09 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 28 44 0 0 0 28 44 0 0 0 12539 -da_refine 3 MatSOR 1915 1.0 2.7142e+01 1.1 9.51e+09 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 45 45 0 0 0 45 45 0 0 0 11216 -da_refine 4 MatSOR 2262 1.0 2.2116e+02 1.1 7.56e+10 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 48 45 0 0 0 48 45 0 0 0 10936 Hong (Mr.) > KNL: > MatSOR 2688 1.0 2.3942e+02 1.1 4.47e+10 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 > 0.0e+00 36 45 0 0 0 36 45 0 0 0 11946 > KSPSolve 8 1.0 4.3837e+02 1.0 9.87e+10 1.0 1.5e+06 8.8e+03 > 5.0e+03 68 99 98 61 98 68 99 98 61 98 14409 > SNESSolve 1 1.0 6.1583e+02 1.0 9.95e+10 1.0 1.6e+06 1.4e+04 > 5.1e+03 96100100100 99 96100100100 99 10338 > SNESFunctionEval 9 1.0 3.8730e+01 1.0 0.00e+00 0.0 9.2e+03 3.2e+04 > 0.0e+00 6 0 1 1 0 6 0 1 1 0 0 > SNESJacobianEval 40 1.0 1.5628e+02 1.0 0.00e+00 0.0 4.4e+04 2.5e+05 > 1.4e+02 24 0 3 49 3 24 0 3 49 3 0 > PCSetUp 16 1.0 3.4525e+01 1.0 6.52e+07 1.0 2.8e+05 1.0e+04 > 3.8e+03 5 0 18 13 74 5 0 18 13 74 119 > PCSetUpOnBlocks 60 1.0 9.5716e-01 1.1 1.41e+05 0.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 > 0.0e+00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 > PCApply 60 1.0 3.8705e+02 1.0 9.32e+10 1.0 1.2e+06 8.0e+03 > 1.1e+03 60 94 79 45 21 60 94 79 45 21 15407 > MatMult 2860 1.0 1.4578e+02 1.1 4.92e+10 1.0 1.2e+06 8.8e+03 > 0.0e+00 21 49 77 48 0 21 49 77 48 0 21579 > > Haswell: > MatSOR 2262 1.0 2.2116e+02 1.1 7.56e+10 1.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 > 0.0e+00 48 45 0 0 0 48 45 0 0 0 10936 > KSPSolve 7 1.0 3.5937e+02 1.0 1.67e+11 1.0 6.7e+05 1.3e+04 > 4.5e+03 81 99 98 60 98 81 99 98 60 98 14828 > SNESSolve 1 1.0 4.3749e+02 1.0 1.68e+11 1.0 6.8e+05 2.1e+04 > 4.5e+03 99100100100 99 99100100100 99 12280 > SNESFunctionEval 8 1.0 1.5460e+01 1.0 0.00e+00 0.0 4.1e+03 4.7e+04 > 0.0e+00 3 0 1 1 0 3 0 1 1 0 0 > SNESJacobianEval 35 1.0 6.8994e+01 1.0 0.00e+00 0.0 1.9e+04 3.8e+05 > 1.3e+02 16 0 3 50 3 16 0 3 50 3 0 > PCSetUp 14 1.0 1.0860e+01 1.0 1.15e+08 1.0 1.3e+05 1.4e+04 > 3.4e+03 2 0 19 13 74 2 0 19 13 74 335 > PCSetUpOnBlocks 50 1.0 4.5601e-02 1.6 2.89e+05 0.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 > 0.0e+00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 > PCApply 50 1.0 3.3545e+02 1.0 1.57e+11 1.0 5.3e+05 1.2e+04 > 9.7e+02 75 94 77 44 21 75 94 77 44 21 15017 > MatMult 2410 1.0 1.2050e+02 1.1 8.28e+10 1.0 5.1e+05 1.3e+04 > 0.0e+00 27 49 75 46 0 27 49 75 46 0 21983 > >> If ex48 has SSE2 intrinsics, does that mean Haswell would almost always be >> better? >> >> The Jacobian evaluation (which has SSE2 intrinsics) on Haswell is about two >> times as fast as on KNL, but it eats only 3%-4% of the total time. > > SNESJacobianEval alone accounts for 90 seconds of the 180 second > difference between KNL and Haswell. > >> According to your logs, the compute-intensive kernels such as MatMult, >> MatSOR, PCApply run faster (~2X) on Haswell. > > They run almost the same speed. > >> But since the setup time dominates in this test, > > It doesn't dominate on the larger sizes. > >> Haswell would not show much benefit.
