  1. Overview of the Global ArraysParallel Software Development ToolkitIntroduction to Global Address Space Programming Models P. Saddayappan2 Jarek Nieplocha1 , Bruce Palmer1, Manojkumar Krishnan1, Vinod Tipparaju1 1Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 2Ohio State University

  2. Outline of the Tutorial • Parallel programming models • Global Arrays (GA) programming model • GA Operations • Writing, compiling and running GA programs • Basic, intermediate, and advanced calls • With C and Fortran examples • GA Hands-on session Global Arrays Tutorial

  3. Parallel Programming Models • Single Threaded • Data Parallel, e.g. HPF • Multiple Processes • Partitioned-Local Data Access • MPI • Uniform-Global-Shared Data Access • OpenMP • Partitioned-Global-Shared Data Access • Co-Array Fortran • Uniform-Global-Shared + Partitioned Data Access • UPC, Global Arrays, X10 Global Arrays Tutorial

  4. High Performance Fortran • Single-threaded view of computation • Data parallelism and parallel loops • User-specified data distributions for arrays • Compiler transforms HPF program to SPMD program • Communication optimization critical to performance • Programmer may not be conscious of communication implications of parallel program DO I = 1,N DO I = 1,N DO J = 1,N DO J = 1,N A(I,J) = B(J,I) A(I,J) = B(I,J) END END END END Global Arrays Tutorial

  5. Message Passing Interface • Most widely used parallel programming model today • Bindings for Fortran, C, C++, MATLAB • P parallel processes, each with local data • MPI-1: Send/receive messages for inter-process communication • MPI-2: One-sided get/put data access from/to local data at remote process • Explicit control of all inter-processor communication • Advantage: Programmer is conscious of communication overheads and attempts to minimize it • Drawback: Program development/debugging is tedious due to the partitioned-local view of the data Global Arrays Tutorial

  6. OpenMP • Uniform-Global view of shared data • Available for Fortran, C, C++ • Work-sharing constructs (parallel loops and sections) and global-shared data view ease program development • Disadvantage: Data locality issues obscured by programming model • Only available for shared-memory systems Global Arrays Tutorial

  7. Co-Array Fortran • Partitioned, but global-shared data view • SPMD programming model with local and shared variables • Shared variables have additional co-array dimension(s), mapped to process space; each process can directly access array elements in the space of other processes • A(I,J) = A(I,J)[me-1] + A(I,J)[me+1] • Compiler optimization of communication critical to performance, but all non-local access is explicit Global Arrays Tutorial

  8. Unified Parallel C (UPC) • SPMD programming model with global shared view for arrays as well as pointer-based data structures • Compiler optimizations critical for controlling inter-processor communication overhead • Very challenging problem since local vs. remote access is not explicit in syntax (unlike Co-Array Fortran) • Linearization of multidimensional arrays makes compiler optimization of communication very difficult • Performance study with NAS benchmarks (PPoPP 2005, Mellor-Crummey et. al.) compared CAF and UPC • Co-Array Fortran had significantly better scalability • Linearization of multi-dimensional arrays in UPC was a significant source of overhead Global Arrays Tutorial

  9. Global Arrays Tutorial

  10. Global Arrays Distributed dense arrays that can be accessed through a shared memory-like style Physically distributed data single, shared data structure/ global indexing e.g.,accessA(4,3) rather than buf(7) on task 2 Global Address Space Global Arrays Tutorial

  11. Shared Object Shared Object get copy to local memory copy to shared object put compute/update local memory local memory local memory Global Array Model of Computations • Shared memory view for distributed dense arrays • Get-Local/Compute/Put-Global model of computation • MPI-Compatible; Currently usable with Fortran, C, C++, Python • Data locality and granularity control similar to message passing model Global Arrays Tutorial

  12. Global Arrays vs. Other Models Advantages: • Inter-operates with MPI • Use more convenient global-shared view for multi-dimensional arrays, but can use MPI model wherever needed • Data-locality and granularity control is explicit with GA’s get-compute-put model, unlike the non-transparent communication overheads with other models (except MPI) • Library-based approach: does not rely upon smart compiler optimizations to achieve high performance Disadvantage: • Only useable for array data structures Global Arrays Tutorial

  13. How to Achieve Performance? • Important considerations in achieving high performance: • Specifying parallelism in computation • Load balancing of computation • Minimization of communication overheads • All parallel programming models address first two bullets adequately, but differ w.r.t. communication optimization • GA acknowledges that remote data access is expensive and encourages programmer to optimize communications • Explicit rather than implicit communication • Block access • Nonblocking operations for latency hiding • Consider matrix-matrix multiply example • Parallelism is easily apparent: I,J loops • But communication required is not obvious; compiler optimization crucial for performance • With GA, user is responsible for, and optimizes communication consciously, aided by global view Matrix Multiplication Do I = 1,N Do J = 1,N Do K = 1,N C(I,J) = C(I,J) + A(I,K)*B(K,J) End Do End Do End Do Global Arrays Tutorial

  14. SRUMMA Matrix MultiplicationGA version Issue NB Get A and B blocks do (until last chunk) issue NB Get to the next blocks wait for previous issued call compute A*B (sequential dgemm) NB atomic accumulate into “C” matrix done Computation Comm. (Overlap) C=A.B A B Advantages: - Minimum memory - Highly parallel - Overlaps computation and communication - latency hiding - exploits data locality - patch matrix multiplication (easy to use) - dynamic load balancing = patch matrix multiplication Global Arrays Tutorial

  17. Basic Communication Models A A B B A send receive put P0 P1 P1 P0 message passing 2-sided model remote memory access (RMA) 1-sided model A B A=B P0 P1 shared memory load/stores 0-sided model Global Arrays Tutorial

  18. (0xf5670,P0) (0xf32674,P5) P1 P2 P0 Distributed Data vs Shared Memory Distributed Data: Data is explicitly associated with each processor, accessing data requires specifying the location of the data on the processor and the processor itself. Data locality is explicit but data access is complicated. Distributed computing is typically implemented with message passing (e.g. MPI) Global Arrays Tutorial

  19. Distributed Data vs Shared Memory (Cont). Shared Memory: Data is in a globally accessible address space, any processor can access data by specifying its location using a global index Data is mapped out in a natural manner (usually corresponding to the original problem) and access is easy. Information on data locality is obscured and leads to loss of performance. (1,1) (47,95) (106,171) (150,200) Global Arrays Tutorial

  20. Global Arrays Distributed dense arrays that can be accessed through a shared memory-like style Physically distributed data single, shared data structure/ global indexing e.g.,accessA(4,3) rather than buf(7) on task 2 Global Address Space Global Arrays Tutorial

  21. Global Arrays (cont.) • Shared memory model in context of distributed dense arrays • Much simpler than message-passing for many applications • Complete environment for parallel code development • Compatible with MPI • Data locality control similar to distributed memory/message passing model • Extensible • Scalable Global Arrays Tutorial

  24. Shared Memory Style Communication in GA Global Arrays Tutorial

  25. Remote Data Access in GA • Message Passing: • identify size and location of data blocks • loop over processors: • if (me = P_N) then • pack data in local message buffer • send block of data to message buffer on P0 • else if (me = P0) then • receive block of data from P_N in message buffer • unpack data from message buffer to local buffer • endif • end loop • copy local data on P0 to local buffer Global Arrays: NGA_Get(g_a, lo, hi, buffer, ld); } } Global Array handle Global upper and lower indices of data patch Local buffer and array of strides P0 P2 P1 P3 Global Arrays Tutorial

  26. Data Locality What data does a processor own? NGA_Distribution(g_a, iproc, lo, hi); Where is the data? NGA_Access(g_a, lo, hi, ptr, ld) Use this information to organize calculation so that maximum use is made of locally held data Global Arrays Tutorial

  27. C A B Example: Matrix Multiply C=AxB block owner global arrays representing matrices = • nga_put or ga_acces nga_get = • dgemm local buffers on the processor Global Arrays Tutorial

  28. C A B Matrix Multiply C=AxB(more memory efficient) multiple processors contribute more scalable! (less memory, higher parallelism) = • atomic accumulate get = • dgemm local buffers on the processor Global Arrays Tutorial

  29. Core Capabilities • Distributed array library • dense arrays 1-7 dimensions • four data types (Fortran): integer, real,double precision, double complex • five data types (C): int, long, float, double, double complex • global rather than per-task view of data structures • user control over data distribution: regular and irregular • Collective and shared-memory style operations • ga_sync, ga_scale, etc • ga_put, ga_get, ga_acc • nonblocking ga_put, ga_get, ga_acc • Interfaces to third party parallel numerical libraries • PeIGS, Scalapack, SUMMA, Tao • example: to solve a linear system using LU factorization call ga_lu_solve(g_a, g_b) instead of call pdgetrf(n,m, locA, p, q, dA, ind, info) call pdgetrs(trans, n, mb, locA, p, q, dA,dB,info) Global Arrays Tutorial

  38. Writing GA Programs • GA Definitions and Data types • C programs include files:ga.h, macdecls.h • Fortran programs should include the files: mafdecls.fh, global.fh. • GA Initialize, GA_Terminate --> initializes and terminates GA library #include <stdio.h> #include "mpi.h“ #include "ga.h" #include "macdecls.h" int main( int argc, char **argv ) { MPI_Init( &argc, &argv ); GA_Initialize(); printf( "Hello world\n" ); GA_Terminate(); MPI_Finalize(); return 0; } Global Arrays Tutorial

  39. Writing GA Programs • GA requires the following functionalities from a message passing library (MPI/TCGMSG) • initialization and termination of processes • Broadcast, Barrier • a function to abort the running parallel job in case of an error • The message-passing library has to be, • initialized before the GA library • terminated after the GA library is terminated • GA Compatible with MPI #include <stdio.h> #include "mpi.h“ #include "ga.h" #include "macdecls.h" int main( int argc, char **argv ) { MPI_Init( &argc, &argv ); GA_Initialize(); printf( "Hello world\n" ); GA_Terminate(); MPI_Finalize(); return 0; } Global Arrays Tutorial

  40. Compiling and Linking GA Programs • 2 ways • GA Makefile in global/testing • Your Makefile • GA Makefile in global/testing • To compile and link your GA based program, for example “app.c” (or “app.f”, ..) • Copy to $GA_DIR/global/testing, and type • make app.x or gmake app.x • Compile any test program in GA testing directory, and use the appropriate compile/link flags in your program Global Arrays Tutorial

  41. Compiling and Linking GA Programs (cont.) • Your Makefile • Please refer to the INCLUDES, FLAGS and LIBS variables, which will be printed at the end of successful GA installation on your platform • You can use these variables in your Makefile • For example: gcc $(INCLUDES) $(FLAGS) –o ga_test ga_test.c $(LIBS) INCLUDES = -I./include -I/msrc/apps/mpich-1.2.6/gcc/ch_shmem/include LIBS = -L/msrc/home/manoj/GA/cvs/lib/LINUX -lglobal -lma -llinalg -larmci -L/msrc/apps/mpich-1.2.6/gcc/ch_shmem/lib -lmpich –lm For Fortran Programs: FLAGS= -g -Wall -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-double -fno-second-underscore -Wno-globals For C Programs: FLAGS = -g -Wall -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-double -fno-second-underscore -Wno-globals • NOTE: Please refer to GA user manual chapter 2 for more information Global Arrays Tutorial

  42. Running GA Programs • Example: Running a test program “ga_test” on 2 processes • mpirun -np 2 ga_test • Running GA program is same as MPI Global Arrays Tutorial

  43. Setting GA Memory Limits • GA offers an optional mechanism that allows a programmer to limit aggregate memory consumption used by GA for storing Global Array data • Good for systems with limited-memory (e.g. BlueGene/L) • GA uses Memory Allocator (MA) library for internal temporary buffers • allocated dynamically, and deallocated when operation  completes. • Users should specify memory usage of their application during GA initialization • Can be specified in MA_Init(..) call after GA_Initialize() ! Initialization of MA and setting GA memory limits call ga_initialize() if (ga_uses_ma()) then status = ma_init(MT_DBL, stack, heap+global) else status = ma_init(mt_dbl,stack,heap) call ga_set_memory_limit(ma_sizeof(MT_DBL,global,MT_BYTE)) endif if(.not. status) ... !we got an error condition here Global Arrays Tutorial

  44. Outline • Writing, Building, and Running GA Programs • Basic Calls • Intermediate Calls • Advanced Calls Global Arrays Tutorial

  45. GA Basic Operations • GA programming model is very simple. • Most of the parallel programs can be written with these basic calls • GA_Initialize, GA_Terminate • GA_Nnodes, GA_Nodeid • GA_Create, GA_Destroy • GA_Put, GA_Get • GA_Sync Global Arrays Tutorial

  46. GA Initialization/Termination • There are two functions to initialize GA: • Fortran • subroutine ga_initialize() • subroutine ga_initialize_ltd(limit) • C • void GA_Initialize() • void GA_Initialize_ltd(size_t limit) • To terminate a GA program: • Fortran subroutine ga_terminate() • C void GA_Terminate() integer limit - amount of memory in bytes per process     [input] program main #include “mafdecls.h” #include “global.fh” integer ierr c call mpi_init(ierr) call ga_initialize() c write(6,*) ‘Hello world’ c call ga_terminate() call mpi_finilize() end Global Arrays Tutorial

  47. Parallel Environment - Process Information • Parallel Environment: • how many processes are working together (size) • what their IDs are (ranges from 0 to size-1) • To return the process ID of the current process: • Fortran integer function ga_nodeid() • C int GA_Nodeid() • To determine the number of computing processes: • Fortran integer function ga_nnodes() • C int GA_Nnodes() Global Arrays Tutorial

  48. Parallel Environment - Process Information (EXAMPLE) program main #include “mafdecls.h” #include “global.fh” integer ierr,me,nproc call mpi_init(ierr) call ga_initialize() me = ga_nodeid() size = ga_nnodes() write(6,*) ‘Hello world: My rank is ’ + me + ‘ out of ‘ + ! size + ‘processes/nodes’ call ga_terminate() call mpi_finilize() end $ mpirun –np 4 helloworld Hello world: My rank is 0 out of 4 processes/nodes Hello world: My rank is 1 out of 4 processes/nodes Hello world: My rank is 3 out of 4 processes/nodes Hello world: My rank is 2 out of 4 processes/nodes Global Arrays Tutorial
