SOSCIP

The SOSCIP GPU Cluster is a Southern Ontario Smart Computing Innovation Platform (SOSCIP) resource located at the University of Toronto's SciNet HPC facility. The SOSCIP multi-university/industry consortium is funded by the Ontario Government and the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario [1].

Support Email

Please use <soscip-support@scinet.utoronto.ca> for SOSCIP GPU specific inquiries.

Specifications

The SOSCIP GPU Cluster consists of of 15 (1 login/development + 14 compute) IBM Power 822LC "Minsky" Servers each with 2x10core 3.25GHz Power8 CPUs and 512GB Ram. Similar to Power 7, the Power 8 utilizes Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT), but extends the design to 8 threads per core allowing the 20 physical cores to support up to 160 threads. Each node has 4x NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs each with 16GB of RAM with CUDA Capability 6.0 (Pascal) connected using NVlink.

Access and Login

In order to obtain access to the system, you must request access to the SOSCIP GPU Platform. Instructions will have been sent to your sponsoring faculty member via E-mail at the beginning of your SOSCIP project.

Access to the SOSCIP GPU Platform is provided through the BGQ login node, bgqdev.scinet.utoronto.ca using ssh, and from there you can proceed to the GPU development node sgc01-ib0 via ssh. Your user name and password is the same as it is for SciNet systems.

Filesystem

The filesystem is shared with the BGQ system. See here for details.

Job Submission

The SOSCIP GPU cluster uses SLURM as a job scheduler and jobs are scheduled by node, ie 20 cores and 4 GPUs each. Jobs are submitted from the login/development node sgc01. The maximum walltime per job is 12 hours (except in the 'long' queue, see Longer Jobs). The max number of nodes for each job is 4 (8 for 'long' queue). 

$ sbatch myjob.script

Where myjob.script is 

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=1 
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=20  # MPI tasks (needed for srun/mpirun) 
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00  # H:M:S
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:4     # Ask for 4 GPUs per node

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

hostname
nvidia-smi

More information about the sbatch command is found here.


You can query job information using 

squeue

You can list jobs sorted by priority, e.g. highest priority job at bottom: 

squeue -S p

To see only your own jobs, run 

squeue -u <userid>

Once your job is running, SLURM creates a file usually named slurm<jobid>.out in the directory from where you issued the sbatch command. This contains the console output from your job. You can monitor the output of your job by using the tail -f <file> command.


To cancel a job use 

scancel $JOBID

Detailed job info

Default "squeue" out shows only basic information of the jobs. User can set SQUEUE_FORMAT environment variable to tell SLURM to genrate more detailed squeue output including estimated start time: 

#It is recommended to put this command into user's ~/.bashrc file.
export SQUEUE_FORMAT="%.8i %.8u %.12a %.10P %.20j %.3t %16S %.10L %.5D %.4C %.6b %.7m %N (%r) "

Longer jobs

If your job takes more than 12 hours or more than 4 nodes, the sbatch command will not let you submit your job. There is, however, a way to have jobs up to 24 hours long and up to 8 nodes, by specifying "-p long" as an option (i.e., add #SBATCH -p long to your job script). The priority of such jobs may be throttled in the future if we see that the 'long' queue is having a negative efffect on turnover time in the queue.

Interactive

For an interactive session use 

salloc --gres=gpu:4 --time=1:00:00

After executing this command, you may have to wait in the queue until a system is available.

More information about the salloc command is here.

Automatic Re-submission and Job Dependencies

Commonly you may have a job that you know will take longer to run than what is permissible in the queue. As long as your program contains checkpoint or restart capability, you can have one job automatically submit the next. In the following example it is assumed that the program finishes before the time limit requested and then resubmits itself by logging into the development nodes. Job dependencies and a maximum number of job re-submissions are used to ensure sequential operation. 

#!/bin/bash 

#SBATCH --nodes=1 
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=20  # MPI tasks (needed for srun) 
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00  # H:M:S
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:4     # Ask for 4 GPUs per node

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

: ${job_number:="1"}           # set job_nubmer to 1 if it is undefined
job_number_max=3

echo "hi from ${SLURM_JOB_ID}"

#RUN JOB HERE


# SUBMIT NEXT JOB
if [[ ${job_number} -lt ${job_number_max} ]]
then
  (( job_number++ ))
  next_jobid=$(ssh sgc01-ib0 "cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR; /opt/slurm/bin/sbatch --export=job_number=${job_number} -d afterok:${SLURM_JOB_ID} thisscript.sh | awk '{print $4}'")
  echo "submitted ${next_jobid}"
fi
 
sleep 15

echo "${SLURM_JOB_ID} done"

Packing single-GPU jobs within one SLURM job submission

Jobs are scheduled by node (4 GPUs) on SOSCIP GPU cluster. If user's code/program cannot utilize all 4 GPUs, user can use GNU Parallel tool to pack 4 or more single-GPU jobs into one SLURM job. Below is an example of submitting 4 single-GPU python codes within one job: (When using GNU parallel for a publication please cite as per parallel --citation) 

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=1 
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=20  # MPI tasks (needed for srun) 
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00  # H:M:S
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:4     # Ask for 4 GPUs per node

. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh #enable module command
module load gnu-parallel/20180422
cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

parallel -a jobname-params.input --colsep ' ' -j 4 'CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$(( {%} - 1 )) numactl -N $(( ({%} -1) / 2 )) python {1} {2} {3} &> jobname-{#}.out'

The jobname-params.input file contains: 

code-1.py --param1=a --param2=b
code-2.py --param1=c --param2=d
code-3.py --param1=e --param2=f
code-4.py --param1=g --param2=h
  • In the above example, GNU Parallel tool will read jobname-params.input file and separate parameters. Each row in the input file has to contain exact 3 parameters to python. code-N.py is also considered as a parameter. User can change parameter number in the parallel command ({1} {2} {3}...).
  • "-j 4" flag limits the max number of jobs to be 4. User can have more rows in the input file, but GNU Parallel tool only executes maximum of 4 at the same time.
  • "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$(( {%} - 1 ))" will limit one GPU for each job. "numactl -N $(( ({%} -1) / 2 ))" will bind 2 jobs on CPU socket 0, other 2 jobs on socket 1. {%} is job slot which will be translated to 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 in this case.
  • Outputs will be jobname-1.out, jobname-2.out,jobname-3.out,jobname-4.out... {#} is job number which will be translated to the row number in the input file.
  • If you explicitly select GPU ID in your code, you need to always select 0.
  • Do NOT change or set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable in your code.

Packing two 2-GPU jobs

GPU 0 and 1 are connected with high speed NVLINK. GPU 2 and 3 are connected with NVLINK as well. There is no NVLINK between 0,1 and 2,3. User may want to run jobs with only 2 GPUs which are connected with NVLINK. To pack two 2-GPU jobs into one SLURM job, modify the above parallel tool command as below: 

parallel -a jobname-params.input --colsep ' ' -j 2 'CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$(({%}*2-2)),$(({%}*2-1)) numactl -N $(({%} -1)) python {1} {2} {3} &> jobname-{#}.out'

This command will run 2 sub jobs at a time. The job 1 will use GPU id 0,1 and CPU socket 0. Job 2 will use GPU id 2,3 and CPU socket 1.

To install Anaconda locally, user need to load the module and create a conda environment: (anaconda3 as example) 

module load anaconda3
conda create -n myPythonEnv python=3.6

To activate the conda environment: (should be activated before running python) 

source activate myPythonEnv

Once the environment is activated, user can update or install packages via conda or pip 

conda install -n myPythonEnv <package_name>
pip install <package_name>

To deactivate: 

source deactivate

To remove a conda enviroment: 

conda remove --name myPythonEnv --all

To verify that the environment was removed, run: 

conda info --envs

Bazel

Bazel is provided as modules on the system:

Horovod

Horovod is a distributed training framework for TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch. The goal of Horovod is to make distributed Deep Learning fast and easy to use.

To use Horovod on SOSCIP GPU cluster, user should have TensorFlow or PyTorch installed first then load the modules: (plus anaconda2/3 module if used) 

module load openmpi/3.1.2-gcc-5.4.0 cuda/9.2 cudnn/cuda9.2/7.1.4 nccl/2.2.13

Horovod can be installed by pip (in a Conda environment or system python's virtual environment) with the following configuration: 

HOROVOD_CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-9.2/ HOROVOD_NCCL_HOME=/scinet/sgc/Libraries/NCCL/cuda9.2/2.2.13/ HOROVOD_GPU_ALLREDUCE=NCCL pip install --no-cache-dir horovod

A multi-node Tensorflow-benchmarks example is below: 

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/benchmarks.git
git reset --hard c12839f

A 2-node job script: 

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4  # MPI tasks (needed for srun/mpirun)
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=40 # One physical core shows as 8 logical cores
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00  # H:M:S
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:4     # Ask for 4 GPUs per node

module load openmpi/3.1.2-gcc-5.4.0 cuda/9.2 cudnn/cuda9.2/7.1.4 nccl/2.2.13 #adding anaconda2/3 if used

export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 #Anaconda's numpy package on ppc64le with OpenBLAS multithreading may lead to incorrect answers
#User also needs to setup TensorFlow environment as well

mpirun -bind-to core -map-by slot:PE=5 -report-bindings -x NCCL_DEBUG=INFO -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH -x PATH -x OMP_NUM_THREADS -mca pml ob1 -mca btl ^openib python -u scripts/tf_cnn_benchmarks/tf_cnn_benchmarks.py --model resnet50 --batch_size 32 --variable_update horovod

4 tasks is required per node. This will create 4 MPI ranks per node, 1 rank per GPU. For each rank, it has 5 slots (-bind-to core -map-by slot:PE=5), which is 5 physical cores (40 threads). User will see the detail binding information with -report-bindings flag.

-mca pml ob1 and -mca btl ^openib flags force the use of TCP for MPI communication. This avoids many multiprocessing issues that Open MPI has with RDMA which typically result in segmentation faults. Using TCP for MPI does not have noticeable performance impact since most of the heavy communication is done by NCCL, which will use RDMA via InfiniBand. Notable exceptions from this rule are models that heavily use hvd.broadcast() and hvd.allgather() operations. To make those operations use RDMA, multithreading must be disabled via -x HOROVOD_MPI_THREADS_DISABLE=1 option being added and -mca btl ^openib being removed.

Benchmarking results in images/sec: (ResNet-50 with a batch size 32 per GPU) 

1-GPU: 220.08
2-GPU: 432.99
1-node: 851.12

NAMD is a parallel, object-oriented molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. NAMD is installed on SOSCIP GPU cluster as modules. If a new version is required or if for some reason you need to do your own installation, please contact sosicp-support email.

v2.12 (single-node only)

NAMD 2.12 is built as multicore-CUDA version with different compilers: 

namd/2.12-gcc5-smp
namd/2.12-gcc6-smp
namd/2.12-xl-smp (for testing only, may run slower)

An example of the job script (using 40 CPU threads + 4 GPUs): 

#!/bin/bash 
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1  # MPI tasks (needed for mpirun/srun) 
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00  # H:M:S
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:4     # Ask for 4 GPUs per node
. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh #enable module command
module purge
module load namd/2.12-gcc5-smp

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR
`which namd2` +setcpuaffinity +pemap 0-159:4 +idlepoll +ppn 40 stmv.namd

v2.13 (for single or multi-node via PAMI)

2.13 versions of NAMD supports multi-node simulations via PAMI. Available modules are: 

 
namd/2.13-gcc7-pami
namd/2.13-xl16-pami

An example of the job script (using 2 nodes, one process per node, 40 CPU threads per process + 4 GPUs per process): 

#!/bin/bash 
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1  # MPI tasks (needed for mpirun/srun) 
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00  # H:M:S
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:4     # Ask for 4 GPUs per node
. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh #enable module command
module purge
module load gcc/7.3.1 cuda/9.2 powerAI-5.3/mldl-spectrum namd/2.13-gcc7-pami

Performance Guide

CPU Performance

Simultaneous multithreading (SMT)

POWER8 is designed to be a massively multithreaded chip, with each of its cores capable of handling 8 hardware threads simultaneously, for a total of 160 threads executed simultaneously on SOSCIP GPU node with 20 physical cores. On the system, it will show 160 (logical) CPU cores: CPU 0-7 is physical core 0, CPU 8-15 is physical core 1, ... , CPU 152-159 is physical core 19. Many of the programs developed on Intel/AMD x86 system are not optimized for POWER8 CPU. Using up all 8 hardware threads may significantly slow down the performance. Many programs show best performance with only 1 or 2 threads per physical core.

A common problem is thread binding. Software like GROMACS and NAMD can automatically bind certain number of threads to physical cores. If setting 2 threads per physical core, Gromacs/NAMD will use CPU 0,4,8,12,16, ..., 152, 156 only. Many Deep Learning softwares including TensorFlow and Pytorch are not able to automatically bind threads to a certain core. In this case, user can manually force the program to use certain CPUs via numactl tool. 

If using 1 thread each physical core:
numactl -C 0,8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80,88,96,104,112,120,128,136,144,152 python code.py

If using 2 threads each physical core:
numactl -C 0,4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,68,72,76,80,84,88,92,96,100,104,108,112,116,120,124,128,132,136,140,144,148,152,156 python code.py
  • MPI program cannot easily use numactl for thread binding. A rank file is used to bind rank to specific hardware thread(s). An example of a rank file, which uses 2 hardware threads per physical core, is shown below:
rank 0=sgc01 slot=0,4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36
rank 1=sgc01 slot=40,44,48,52,56,60,64,68,72,76
rank 2=sgc01 slot=80,84,88,92,96,100,104,108,112,116
rank 3=sgc01 slot=120,124,128,132,136,140,144,148,152,156

MPI program needs to be launched with flags: "-bind-to hwthread -rf myrankfile".

A rank file can be created automatically based on the node list generated by SLURM command "scontrol show hostnames". An example of python code to generate rankfile based on slurm nodelist: 

#This python code generates rankfile with 4 MPI ranks per node, 5 physical cores per rank, 1 hardware thread per physical core

with open("slurm-nodelist", "r") as ins:
    i=0
    for line in ins:
        print('rank '+str(i)+'='+line[:-1]+' slot=0,8,16,24,32')
        print('rank '+str(i+1)+'='+line[:-1]+' slot=40,48,56,64,72')
        print('rank '+str(i+2)+'='+line[:-1]+' slot=80,88,96,104,112')
        print('rank '+str(i+3)+'='+line[:-1]+' slot=120,128,136,144,152')
        i+=4

Job example: 

scontrol show hostnames > slurm-nodelist
python ~/createrankfile.py > myrankfile
mpirun -bind-to hwthread -rf myrankfile -report-bindings  yourprogram ...

GPU Performance

Profiling with NVVP

The NVIDIA Visual Profiler (NVVP) is a cross-platform performance profiling tool that delivers developers vital feedback for optimizing CUDA C/C++ applications. To use NVVP, user needs to enable X11 forwarding when ssh to sgc01: (Mac OS user needs to install XQuart) 

ssh -Y bgqdev.scinet.utoronto.ca
ssh -Y sgc01-ib0

CUDA module is required to use NVVP: 

module load cuda/9.2
nvvp

Developing with Nsight

NVIDIA Nsight™ Eclipse Edition is a full-featured IDE powered by the Eclipse platform that provides an all-in-one integrated environment to edit, build, debug and profile CUDA-C applications. X11 forwarding is also required to use Nsight. After login with X11 enabled: 

module load cuda/9.2
nsight

I/O Performance

GPFS is a high-performance filesystem which provides rapid reads and writes to large datasets in parallel from many nodes. As a consequence of this design, however, the file system performs quite poorly at accessing data sets which consist of many, small files. If user has to process a large number of small files, local SSD or RAM-disk can be used. Please contact <soscip-support@scinet.utoronto.ca> for more information.

Job Monitoring

GPU usage report from NVML

A per-process GPU utilization report is generated after each job exectution. The report is placed at the end of the job output file, i.e. slurm-<jobid>.out.

  • According to NVIDIA, enabling accounting mode has no negative impact on the GPU performance. NVML_API_Reference_Guide
  • An example output:

**************************************************************

The above report is generated by a 2-node GROMACS-2018 job which has 5 MPI ranks running on each GPU. (Note: the 0 MiB process is system process, not user's)

NVIDIA Datacenter GPU Manager

NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) only generates per-process GPU utilization report. A per-job report can be obtained by using NVIDIA Datacenter GPU Manager (DCGM). DCGM is installed on the SOSCPI GPU cluster but not enabled by default. User can launch DCGM as non-root with limited functionality.

  • Note: DCGM job stats collecting may hurt performance especially for CPU intensive jobs. It is user's responsibility to understand the risk of downgraded performance

To use DCGM to collect job stats, user needs to use SLURM Task Prolog/Epilog to insert command before and after the job execution.

Prolog script

A SLRUM Task Prolog script should be used to launch DCGM daemon and start stats collection before job execution: 

#!/bin/bash
if [ $SLURM_LOCALID = "0" ]; then  #only 1 task per node runs the script 
    nv-hostengine & #launch DCGM daemon
    dcgmi stats -e #enable stats recording
    dcgmi stats -s $SLURM_JOB_ID #start collecting stats using SLURM job id as name
fi

Epilog script

A SLURM Epilog script should be used to stop the stats recording and retrieve stats after job execution: 

#!/bin/bash
if [ $SLURM_LOCALID = "0" ]; then #only 1 task per node runs the script
    dcgmi stats -x $SLURM_JOB_ID #stop recording stats
    dcgmi stats -j $SLURM_JOB_ID -v &> $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR/dcgm-$SLURM_JOB_ID-`hostname`.out #retrieve stats to file, e.g. dcgm-1234-sgc02.out
fi

Job script modification

SLURM job script should be modified to enable Task Prolog/Epilog scripts. SLURM_TASK_PROLOG and SLURM_TASK_EPILOG can be used to located the scripts.

  • srun is required to be used for launching job comand. For MPI jobs, --mpi=pmi2 flag is needed.
  • For single-process job (e.g. Python), SLURM total task number should always be 1.

A single-node Python example job: 

#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1 
export SLURM_TASK_PROLOG=$SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR/prolog.sh
export SLURM_TASK_EPILOG=$SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR/epilog.sh
srun python code.py
  • For multi-process job (e.g. MPI), SLURM total task number should be the same as the number of processes (e.g. number of MPI ranks)

A GROMACS example job: 

#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=20
export SLURM_TASK_PROLOG=$SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR/prolog.sh
export SLURM_TASK_EPILOG=$SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR/epilog.sh
srun --mpi=pmi2 gmx_mpi mdrun -ntomp 2 -pin on -s nvt_1us.tpr
