Re: [hwloc-users] hwloc Python3 Bindings - Correctly Grab number cores available

2020-08-31 Thread Brock Palen
Thanks,

yeah I was looking for an API that would take into consideration most
cases, like I find with hwloc-bind --get   where I can find the number the
process has access to.  Wether is cgroups,  other sorts of affinity setting
etc.

2020-08-31 Thread Brock Palen
Sorry if wasn't clear, I'm trying to find out what is available to my
process before it starts up threads.  If the user is jailed in a cgroup
(docker, slurm, other)  and the program tries to start 36 threads, when it
only has access to 4 cores, it's probably not a huge deal, but not
desirable.

I do allow the user to specify number of threads, but would like to
automate it for least astonishment.

[hwloc-users] hwloc Python3 Bindings - Correctly Grab number cores available

2020-08-31 Thread Brock Palen
Hello,

I have a small utility,  it is currently using  multiprocess.cpu_count()
Which currently ignores cgroups etc.

I see https://gitlab.com/guystreeter/python-hwloc
But appears stale,

How would you detect number of threads that are safe to start in a cgroup
from Python3 ?

Thanks!

Re: [hwloc-users] Selecting real cores vs HT cores

2014-12-11 Thread Brock Palen
Ok let me expand then.  I don't have control over the bios.

The testing I am doing resides on a cloud provider and from our testing it 
appears that it has HT enabled.  It is ambiguous though to me what I see vs how 
they allocate on their hypervisor. 

I want to see if this has any effect. given the providers advertised CPU types 
they use vs my bare metal ones of the same types everything feels 'half as 
fast'  Thus the question about HT.

Here is the lstopo from the provider:

The cuda ID's match the order if you run nvidia-smi  (which gives you PCI 
addresses)

The nvml id's  match the order in which they start.  That is 
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0, cudaSetDevice(0) matches nvml0  which matches id 2 for 
CoProc cuda2 and for nvidia-smi id 2.

This appears to be very consistent between reboots.

Yes the nvml and what is ordering is by ascending PCI ID,  nvidia-smi shows

Actually that did turn out to help. The nvml# devices appear to be numbered in 
the way that CUDA_VISABLE_DEVICES sees them, while the cuda# devices are in the 
order that PBS and nvidia-smi see them.

  PCIBridge
PCIBridge
  PCIBridge
PCI 10de:1021
  CoProc L#2 "cuda0"
  GPU L#3 "nvml2"

  GPU L#7 "nvml0"
  PCIBridge
PCI 10de:1021
  CoProc L#8 "cuda3"
  GPU L#9 "nvml1"


Right now I am trying to create a python script that will take the XML output 
of lstopo and give me just the cuda and nvml devices in order. 

I dont' know if some value are deterministic though.  Could I  ignore the 
CoProc line and just use the:

  GPU L#3 "nvml2"
  GPU L#5 "nvml3"
  GPU L#7 "nvml0"
  GPU L#9 "nvml1"

Is the L# always going to be in the oder I would expect?  Because then I 
already have my map then.

[hwloc-users] Strange binding issue on 40 core nodes and cgroups

2012-11-02 Thread Brock Palen
This isn't a hwloc problem exactly, but maybe you can shed some insight.

We have some 4 socket 10 core = 40 core nodes, HT off:

depth 0:1 Machine (type #1)
 depth 1:   4 NUMANodes (type #2)
  depth 2:  4 Sockets (type #3)
   depth 3: 4 Caches (type #4)
depth 4:40 Caches (type #4)
 depth 5:   40 Caches (type #4)
  depth 6:  40 Cores (type #5)
   depth 7: 40 PUs (type #6)


We run rhel 6.3  we use torque to create cgroups for jobs.  I get the following 
cgroup for this job  all 12 cores for the job are on one node:
cat /dev/cpuset/torque/8845236.nyx.engin.umich.edu/cpus 
0-1,4-5,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36

Not all nicely spaced, but 12 cores

I then start a code, even a simple serial code with openmpi 1.6.0 on all 12 
cores:
mpirun ./stream

Things are now working as expected, and I should stress this is inside the same 
torque job and cgroup that I started with.

A multi threaded version of the code does use close to 12 cores as expected.

If I cervumvent out batch system and the cgroups a normal mpirun ./stream  does 
start 12 processes that consume a full 100% core. 

Thoughts?  This is really odd linux scheduler behavior.

Yep very odd,

Looks like torque wrote a wrapper then for some hwloc functions.

BTW working with cgroups/cpusets in our resource manager  hwloc-info --pid  is 
_wonderful_  

I think I am good to go.

Hello Brock,


From what I remember, ScaleMP uses an hypervisor on each node that
virtually merges all of them into a fake big shared-memory machine.  
Then

a vanilla Linux kernel runs on top of it. So hwloc should just see
regular cores and NUMA node information, assuming the virtual "merged"
hardware reports all necessary information to the OS.



running lstopo 0.9.3  it appears that howloc does see the extra layer  
of complexity:

I don't know why they are all labeled Misc0  but it does see the extra  
layer.


If you want other information let me know.


There's a bit of ScaleMP code in the Linux kernel, but it does pretty
much nothing, it does not seem to add anything to /proc or /sys for
instance. So I am not sure hwloc could get some specialized  
knowledge of

ScaleMP machines. Maybe their custom numabind tool knows that ScaleMP
machines only works on machines with some well-defined
types/counts/numbering of processors and NUMA nodes, and thus uses  
this

information to group sockets/NUMA-nodes depending on their physical
distance.

[hwloc-users] howloc with scalemp

has anyone done work with hwloc on scalemp systems?  They provide  
their own tool numabind, but we are looking for a more generic  
solution to process placement and control that works well inside our  
MPI library (openMPI in most cases).


Any input on this would be great!

If I am reading the AMD docs right, the L1 cache for each core should

Also appears that L2 should be shared, as far as I can tell, it is  
not

shared in this case.

Am I looking at this wrong?


No, that's the right interpretation of lstopo's output.

However, the bug probably lies into your kernel's code. Could you  
check


/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/size

?
