Linux下Linpack测试CPU性能的相关参数配置以及执行命令

一、参数解释

合适的HPL.dat参数设置才能够正常运行以及达到较好的性能。

HPLinpack benchmark input file
Innovative Computing Laboratory, University of Tennessee
HPL.out      output file name (if any)
8            device out (6=stdout,7=stderr,file)
1            # of problems sizes (N)
80000       Ns
1            # of NBs
1024         NBs
0            PMAP process mapping (0=Row-,1=Column-major)
1           # of process grids (P x Q)
1           Ps
1           Qs
16.0         threshold
1            # of panel fact
1        PFACTs (0=left, 1=Crout, 2=Right)
1            # of recursive stopping criterium
4          NBMINs (>= 1)
1            # of panels in recursion
2            NDIVs
1            # of recursive panel fact.
1        RFACTs (0=left, 1=Crout, 2=Right)
1            # of broadcast
0            BCASTs (0=1rg,1=1rM,2=2rg,3=2rM,4=Lng,5=LnM)
1            # of lookahead depth
2            DEPTHs (>=0)
2            SWAP (0=bin-exch,1=long,2=mix)
64           swapping threshold
0            L1 in (0=transposed,1=no-transposed) form
0            U  in (0=transposed,1=no-transposed) form
1            Equilibration (0=no,1=yes)
8            memory alignment in double (> 0)

1、第1、2行为注释说明行，不需要作修改

2、第3行说明如果输出文件的话，文件的名字

3、第4行说明输出结果文件的形式，为“6”时，测试结果输出至标准输出（stdout），为“7”时，测试结果输出至标准错误输出（stderr），为其它值时，测试结果输出至第3行所指定的文件中

4、第5行说明求解问题（矩阵）的个数，也就是第6行要设置的参数的个数

5、第6行要设置矩阵的阶，参数值要与第5行的数值相等。网上大多数都说N的值为N×N×8＝系统总内存×80％最优

6、第7行说明求解问题（矩阵）时采用的分块方式的种数，也就是第8行要设置的参数的个数

7、第8行说明每一种分块的大小。为提高数据的局部性，从而提高整体性能，HPL采用分块矩阵的算法。NB值的选择主要是通过实际测试得到最优值。

8、第9行是选择处理器阵列是按列的排列方式还是按行的排列方式。

9、第10-12行说明二维处理器网格（P×Q）。二维处理器网格（P×Q）的要遵循以下几个要求：P×Q＝进程数。这是HPL的硬性规定。

10、其他值采取默认即可。

二、单个节点上执行

命令：

./xhpl

结果：

================================================================================

An explanation of the input/output parameters follows:
T/V    : Wall time / encoded variant.
N      : The order of the coefficient matrix A.
NB     : The partitioning blocking factor.
P      : The number of process rows.
Q      : The number of process columns.
Time   : Time in seconds to solve the linear system.
Gflops : Rate of execution for solving the linear system.

The following parameter values will be used:

N      :   80000 
NB     :    1024 
PMAP   : Row-major process mapping
P      :       1 
Q      :       1 
PFACT  :   Crout 
NBMIN  :       4

RFACT  :   Crout 
BCAST  :   1ring 
DEPTH  :       2 
SWAP   : Mix (threshold = 64)
L1     : transposed form
U      : transposed form
EQUIL  : yes
ALIGN  : 8 double precision words

- The matrix A is randomly generated for each test.
- The following scaled residual check will be computed:
      ||Ax-b||_oo / ( eps * ( || x ||_oo * || A ||_oo + || b ||_oo ) * N )
- The relative machine precision (eps) is taken to be               1.110223e-16
- Computational tests pass if scaled residuals are less than                16.0

三、多个节点执行

命令：

第一种方式：
mpirun -np N xhpl  N为进程数


第二种方式：
mpirun -p4pg <p4file> xhpl  需要自己编写配置文件，p4file指定每个进程在哪个节点运行
