虽然很早就接触了HPC,也参与过一些项目,诸如电影动画渲染集群以及某博导老师的基因分析计算集群,但是对于跑超算的linpack,一直没时间上手玩。
Linpack是超算必测项目,也是考验优化能力的套件,很有意思,记录下安装过程。
要正常运行,主要需要安装3个部分组件:
这三个组件,除了linpack本身是标准的外,MPI和BLAS都有多种版本不同的实现,各有千秋和应用场景或者优化的特点。当前主要为了跑通,所以mpi选用mipch2,BLAS选用openblas.
软件地址如下:
HPL - A Portable Implementation of the High-PerformanceLinpack Benchmark for Distributed-Memory Computers https://netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/
xianyi (Zhang Xianyi) · GitHubxianyi has 36 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub. https://github.com/xianyi/openBLAS 直接下release里面最新的版本就可以。
Downloads | MPICH https://www.mpich.org/downloads/MPICH 直接下那个体积最大的包,编译完成后有Hydra这个程序管理可执行程序(mpiexec/mpirun)的。
先安装配置mpi,mpich2安装配置和其他开源软件没啥不同就是解压,configure make make install 几步
tar zxf mpich-4.0.3.tar.gz
cd mpich-4.0.3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mpich2/
#需要提前安装好gfortran ,关于网上别的文章说的要添加--with-device=ch4:ofi 参数,我的configure的时候,是默认给我配置的这个,对于其他deivce类型,有需要优化的时候再慢慢看或者做测试吧。
make -j4
sudo make install
安装完成后需要配置环境变量,添加以下行变量到~/.bashrc末尾
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mpich2/bin/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mpich2/lib
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/mpich2/share/man
然后拷贝/usr/local/mpich2整个目录到集群其他节点对应的位置,如果机器太多建议还是nfs之类的共享吧,否则某个软件改一下,所有机器又要重新拷贝一遍。
再然后就是配置ssh互信了。
ssh-keygen -t rsa
ssh-copy-id uos@192.168.5.249
ssh-copy-id uos@192.168.5.230 #本机IP也要拷贝
#完成拷贝后,直接ssh 192.168.5.249 或者 ssh 192.168.5.230验证看是否能免密登陆
配置完成后,跑个mpich2自带的跑圆周率计算的程序
cd /home/uos/Downloads/mpich-4.0.3/examples
#注意每个节点的这个mpich的源码业要拷贝过去。
echo "192.168.5.230" >> nodes
echo "192.168.5.249" >> nodes
mpiexec -f nodes -n 2 ./cpi
下载的时候看了下,刚好这最后一版本还支持FT2000了,正好。
tar zxf OpenBLAS-0.3.21.tar.gz
cd OpenBLAS-0.3.21/
sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local/openblas/ install
HPL的编译主要是mpi库和blas库的路径配置一下,设置下编译器,直接从解压的源码目录setup下面拷贝一个配置文件到源码根目录并改名为Make.FT2000-CBLAS做修改,这个名字后面编译需要用到,我修改后的配置如下:

# You can skip this section if and only if you are not planning to use

# necessary to fill out the F2CDEFS variable with the appropriate
# options. **One and only one** option should be chosen in **each** of
# the 3 following categories:
#
# 1) name space (How C calls a Fortran 77 routine)
#
# -DAdd_ : all lower case and a suffixed underscore (Suns,
# Intel, ...), [default]
# -DNoChange : all lower case (IBM RS6000),
# -DUpCase : all upper case (Cray),
# -DAdd__ : the FORTRAN compiler in use is f2c.
#
# 2) C and Fortran 77 integer mapping
#
# -DF77_INTEGER=int : Fortran 77 INTEGER is a C int, [default]
# -DF77_INTEGER=long : Fortran 77 INTEGER is a C long,
# -DF77_INTEGER=short : Fortran 77 INTEGER is a C short.
#
# 3) Fortran 77 string handling
#
# -DStringSunStyle : The string address is passed at the string loca-
# tion on the stack, and the string length is then
# passed as an F77_INTEGER after all explicit
# stack arguments, [default]
# -DStringStructPtr : The address of a structure is passed by a
# Fortran 77 string, and the structure is of the
# form: struct {char *cp; F77_INTEGER len;},
# -DStringStructVal : A structure is passed by value for each Fortran
# 77 string, and the structure is of the form:
# struct {char *cp; F77_INTEGER len;},
# -DStringCrayStyle : Special option for Cray machines, which uses
# Cray fcd (fortran character descriptor) for
# interoperation.

主要是修改TOPdirMPdirLAdirLINKERLINKFLAGS几个位置,编译的时候报错,LINKFLAGS 后面需要添加lpthread
修改完成后直接 make arch=FT2000-CBLAS ,编译完成后可执行程序在bin/FT2000-CBLAS/下,主要是xhplHPL.dat 两个文件。做测试的时候调整的参数都在HPL.dat 文件里面。
可以不用修改直接运行测试跑一下,
cd bin/FT2000-CBLAS/
mpirun -n 4 ./xhpl
如果没报错,说明安装正常。接下来绝大部分时间都需要慢慢调HPL.dat 里面的参数了,当然MPI以及BLAS库的优化业是必不可少的。
