Cray Inc © 2013 Debugging on Cray Systems ● Systems with thousands of threads of execution need a new debugging paradigm ● Cray’s focus is to build tools around traditional debuggers with innovative techniques for productivity and scalability ● Support for traditional debugging mechanism ● RogueWave TotalView and Allinea DDT ● Scalable Solutions based on MRNet from University of Wisconsin ● STAT - Stack Trace Analysis Tool ● Scalable generation of a single, merged, stack backtrace tree ● ATP - Abnormal Termination Processing ● Scalable analysis of a sick application, delivering a STAT tree and a minimal, comprehensive, core file set. ● lgdb 2.0 ● Ability to see data from multiple processors in the same instance of lgdb ● without the need for multiple windows ● Comparative debugging ● A data-centric paradigm instead of the traditional control-centric paradigm ● Collaboration with Monash University and University of Wisconsin for scalability ● Fast Track Debugging ● Debugging optimized applications ● Added to Allinea's DDT 2.6 (June 2010) 7 February 2013 Luiz DeRose - Cray Inc © 2013 Cray Performance Analysis Tools ● From performance measurement to performance analysis ● Assist the user with application performance analysis and optimization ● Help user identify important and meaningful information from potentially massive data sets ● Help user identify problem areas instead of just reporting data ● Bring optimization knowledge to a wider set of users ● Focus on ease of use and intuitive user interfaces ● Automatic program instrumentation ● Automatic analysis ● Target scalability issues in all areas of tool development 8 February 2013 Luiz DeRose - Cray Inc © 2013 Cray Adaptive Scientific Libraries ● Scientific Libraries today have three concentrations to increase productivity with enhanced performance ● Standardization ● Autotuning ● Adaptive Libraries ● Cray adaptive model ● Runtime analysis allows best library/kernel to be used dynamically ● Extensive offline testing allows library to make decisions or remove the need for those decisions ● Decision depends on the system, on previous performance info, obtained previously, and characteristics of calling problem ● What makes Cray libraries special: ● Node performace ● Network performance ● Highly adaptive software 9 February 2013 Luiz DeRose - Cray Inc © 2013 Environment Setup 10 February 2013 Luiz DeRose - Cray Inc © 2013 Environment Setup ● The Cray systems use modules in the user environment to support multiple software versions and to create integrated software packages ● As new versions of the supported software and associated man pages become available, they are added automatically to the Programming Environment, while earlier versions are retained to support legacy applications ● The modules tool is used to handle different versions of packages. You can use the default version of a product, or choose another version ● e.g.: module load compiler_v1 ● e.g.: module swap compiler_v1 compiler_v2 ● e.g.: module load perftools ● Modules take care of changing of PATH, MANPATH, LM_LICENSE_FILE, ● Modules also provide a simple mechanism for updating certain environment variables, such as PATH, MANPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH ● In general, you should make use of the modules system rather than embedding specific directory paths into your startup files, makefiles, and scripts ● It is also easy to setup your own modules for your own software 11 February 2013 Luiz DeRose - Cray Inc © 2013 module list derose@jyc1:~> module list Currently Loaded Modulefiles: 1) modules/3.2.6.7 2) nodestat/2.2-1.0401.37252.2.1.gem 3) sdb/1.0-1.0401.38148.4.27.gem 4) MySQL/5.0.64-1.0000.5053.22.1 5) lustre-cray_gem_s/1.8.6_2.6.32.59_0.7.1_1.0401.6845.9.1-1.0401.40514.13.1 6) udreg/2.3.2-1.0401.5929.3.3.gem 7) ugni/4.0-1.0401.5928.9.5.gem 8) gni-headers/2.1-1.0401.5675.4.4.gem 9) dmapp/3.2.1-1.0401.5983.4.5.gem 10) xpmem/0.1-2.0401.36790.4.3.gem 11) hss-llm/7.0.0 12) Base-opts/1.0.2-1.0401.35378.1.3.gem 13) craype-network-gemini The Base-opts modules is loaded by 14) xt-asyncpe/5.17 default into your user environment 15) cce/8.1.5.102 16) xt-libsci/12.0.00 17) pmi/4.0.1-1.0000.9421.73.3.gem You should 18) rca/1.0.0-2.0401.38656.2.2.gem never unload the Base-opts module 19) atp/1.6.1 20) PrgEnv-cray/4.1.40 it contains the setup for CLE 21) moab/7.1.3-r3-b12-SUSE11 22) torque/4.1.5-snap.201301211739 23) xtpe-interlagos 24) cray-mpich2/5.6.1 25) java/jdk1.6.0_24 26) globus/5.2.0 27) altd/altd 28) scripts 29) user-paths 12 February 2013 Luiz DeRose - Cray Inc © 2013 What is xtpe-arch? derose@jyc1:~> module show xtpe-interlagos ------------------------------------------------------------------- /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/default/modulefiles/xtpe-interlagos: conflict xtpe-barcelona It’d probably be a really conflict xtpe-quadcore bad idea to load two conflict xtpe-shanghai conflict xtpe-istanbul architectures at once conflict xtpe-interlagos-cu conflict xtpe-mc8 conflict xtpe-mc12 I should build for conflict xtpe-xeon the right compute- prepend-path PE_PRODUCT_LIST XTPE_INTERLAGOS node architecture setenv XTPE_INTERLAGOS_ENABLED ON setenv CRAY_CPU_TARGET interlagos setenv INTEL_PRE_COMPILE_OPTS -msse3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 February 2013 Luiz DeRose - Cray Inc © 2013 Which SW Products and Versions Are Available ● module avail [avail-options] [path...] ● List all available modulefiles in the current MODULEPATH ● Useful options for filtering ● -U, --usermodules ● List all modulefiles of interest to a typical user ● -D, --defaultversions ● List only default versions of modulefiles with multiple available versions ● -P, --prgenvmodules ● List all PrgEnv modulefiles ● -T, --toolmodules ●
