OpenMPI, LSF, InfiniBand, Mellanox OFED and Intel MPI Benchmark: what is going on ?

I usually use the Intel MPI Benchmark  (IMB) as a quick test to check everything is ok from a network point of view (connectivity and performance)

 
My test  cluster for today:
 
  • OpenMPI version: 1.6.3
  • Mellanox OFED version: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-1.5.3-4.0.8 (OFED-1.5.3-4.0.8)
  • Clustering suite: IBM Platform HPC 3.2 cluster (RHEL 6.2)
  • Nodes:
    • 1 head node
    • 6 compute nodes (5 package based install + 1 diskless)

Note: the diskless node is not used here
 

  1. MLX OFED install


The OS_OFED components need to be disabled for both the compute (all that are in use, i.e. compute-rhel and compute-diskless-rhel in my case) and installer nodegroups.
You can just mount the ISO image and run the install script. The HCA firmware will be flashed if needed during the process.

 

2. Open MPI install and configuration
2.1 download OpenMPI and uncompress the tarball

 


 

mkdir /shared/compile_temp/openmpi/
cd /shared/compile_temp/openmpi/
wget http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.3.tar.bz2
tar -xjf openmpi-1.6.3.tar.bz2

 
2.2 Configure, compile and install OpenMPI

Note: if LSF is in the PATH, then support for it will be automatically enabled. If not sure, you can force it:


cd openmpi-1.6.3
./configure --prefix=/shared/ompi-1.6.3-lsf --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default --with-lsf=/opt/lsf/8.3 --with-lsf-libdir=/opt/lsf/8.3/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/lib



Note: the path used for the option --with-lsf-libdir is $LSF_LIBDIR


make

make check
make install


 


2.3 create an environment module for OpenMPI
2.3.1 add the new PATH to MODULEPATH


I added the following to my .bashrc: export MODULEPATH=$MODULEPATH:/home/mehdi/modules
 

2.3.2 create the module file (/home/mehdi/modules/ompilsf):


#%Module1.0
##
## dot modulefile
##
proc ModulesHelp { } {
  global openmpiversion

  puts stderr "\tAdds OpenMPI to your environment variables,"
}

module-whatis "adds OpenMPI to your environment variables"

set openmpiversion 1.6.3
set root /shared/ompi-1.6.3-lsf/

prepend-path PATH $root/bin
prepend-path MANPATH $root/man
setenv MPI_HOME $root
setenv MPI_RUN $root/bin/mpirun

prepend-path LD_RUN_PATH $root/lib
prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH $root/lib




2.3.3 check the module works as expected

The first step is to check which modules are currently loaded:


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
  1) null


Then we can check for the available modules:


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ module avail

----------------------------------------------------- /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles -----------------------------------------------------
PMPI/modulefile dot             module-cvs      module-info     modules         null            use.own

---------------------------------------------------------- /home/mehdi/modules -----------------------------------------------------------
ompi    ompilsf


And finally load the module we just created and double check all the environment is properly definedL


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ module load ompilsf
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
  1) null      2) ompilsf
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ echo $MPI_HOME
/shared/ompi-1.6.3-lsf/
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ which mpicc
/shared/ompi-1.6.3-lsf/bin/mpicc
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$


 


2.4 check OpenMPI


2.4.1 verify support for openib and lsf are there:

 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ ompi_info | grep openib
                 MCA btl: openib (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.6.3)
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ ompi_info | grep lsf
                  Prefix: /shared/ompi-1.6.3-lsf
                 MCA ras: lsf (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.6.3)
                 MCA plm: lsf (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.6.3)
                 MCA ess: lsf (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.6.3)
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$


 

2.4.1 copy over an example from the OpenMPI distribution and modify it so the output contains the hostname of the node running the MPI instance:

cp /shared/compile_temp/openmpi/openmpi-1.6.3/examples/hello_c.c .
cp hello_c.c hello_c.orig
vim hello_c.c



The diff is below:


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ diff -U4  hello_c.orig hello_c.c

[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$



2.4.2 compile the modified example:

 


mpicc -o hello hello_c.c


 

2.4.3 run the example manually, using a host file and outside of LSF
 

My hostfile is:
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ cat hosts
compute002
compute004
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$




2.4.3.1 run with no specific options and fix any problem

[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ mpirun -np 2 --hostfile ./hosts ./hello
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: It appears that your OpenFabrics subsystem is configured to only
allow registering part of your physical memory.  This can cause MPI jobs to
run with erratic performance, hang, and/or crash.

This may be caused by your OpenFabrics vendor limiting the amount of
physical memory that can be registered.  You should investigate the
relevant Linux kernel module parameters that control how much physical
memory can be registered, and increase them to allow registering all
physical memory on your machine.

See this Open MPI FAQ item for more information on these Linux kernel module
parameters:

    http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#ib-locked-pages

  Local host:              compute002
  Registerable memory:     4096 MiB
  Total memory:            32745 MiB

Your MPI job will continue, but may be behave poorly and/or hang.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, world, I am 0 of 2 on host compute002
Hello, world, I am 1 of 2 on host compute004

[atsplat1:24675] Set MCA parameter "orte_base_help_aggregate" to 0 to see all help / error messages



As you can see, the first try is not really great. Let see if everything is fine when using the TCP fabric:
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ mpirun -np 2 --hostfile ./hosts --mca btl self,tcp ./hello
Hello, world, I am 1 of 2 on host compute004
Hello, world, I am 0 of 2 on host compute002
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$



So the problem really comes from my IB setup. Looking at the page mentioned in the output of the job (the first one that used the IB fabric), there are 2 causes for the warning: one related to the Linux kernel and a second one to the locked memory limits.

The max locked memory should not be an issue as my /etc/security/limits.conf on the compute nodes ends with a nice:

* soft memlock unlimited
* hard memlock unlimited


So my issue must be at kernel level

And the following article on developerworks explains very well how to solve the problem:


Looking at the kernel module parameters tells me that I need to change them:
 


[root@compute004 ~]# cat /sys/module/mlx4_core/parameters/log_num_mtt
0
[root@compute004 ~]# cat /sys/module/mlx4_core/parameters/log_mtts_per_seg
0
[root@compute004 ~]#




And the PAGE_SIZE value is
 


[root@compute004 ~]# getconf PAGE_SIZE
4096
[root@compute004 ~]#




My nodes have 32G memory so:

max_reg_mem = (2^23) * (2^1) * (4 kB) = 64 GB

which means:

log_num_mtt = 23

log_mtts_per_seg = 1

The way to get the proper values is to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/mlx4_en.conf :
 


options mlx4_core log_num_mtt=23 log_mtts_per_seg=1


 

Then we need to restart openibd so the modules are unloaded / reloaded and check the new values of log_mtts_per_seg and log_num_mtt:
 


[root@compute004 ~]# cat /sys/module/mlx4_core/parameters/log_num_mtt
23
[root@compute004 ~]# cat /sys/module/mlx4_core/parameters/log_mtts_per_seg
1



Perfect, now it is time to run the example again:
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ mpirun -np 2 --hostfile ./hosts ./hello
Hello, world, I am 1 of 2 on host compute004
Hello, world, I am 0 of 2 on host compute002
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$



So now we can force the use of the IB fabric only:
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ mpirun -np 2 --hostfile ./hosts --mca btl self,openib ./hello
Hello, world, I am 1 of 2 on host compute004
Hello, world, I am 0 of 2 on host compute002
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$



2.4.3.2 Final fix in the IBM Platform HPC framework

We use the CFM framework to append the options to the /etc/modprobe.d/mlx4_en.conf file.
In the CFM directory for the compute nodegroup in use. In my case:

/etc/cfm/compute-rhel-6.2-x86_64eth0/

create the appropriate directory and file:

etc/modprobe.d/mlx4_en.conf.append

The mlx4_en.conf.append file contains only 2 lines:


Then run cfmsync -f -n compute-rhel-6.2-x86_64eth0


2.5 compile IMB


mkdir /shared/compile_temp/IMB/
cd /shared/compile_temp/IMB/



Assuming the tarball is already there:
 


tar -xzf IMB_3.2.3.tgz



Then we need to go in the src directory and create a make file for OpenMPI:
 


[root@atsplat1 IMB]# cd imb_3.2.3/src/

[root@atsplat1 src]# cp make_mpich make_ompi



The setup of MPI_HOME is commented out, as the module file will set it up.

The diff:
 


[root@atsplat1 src]# diff -U4 make_mpich make_ompi
--- make_mpich    2011-11-07 16:09:42.000000000 -0600

Time to compile:
 


[root@atsplat1 src]# make -f make_ompi





2.6 run IMB to get get the bandwidth associated with each fabric

One of my node showed errors for the InfiniBand card so from now I'll be using a different host file:
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ cat hosts
compute005
compute002
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$

The big surprise is the bandwidth, which is 2 times what is expected for a Gb network. This is explained by how OpenMPI is able to aggregate links when they are in compatible networks. This is explained in more details here. Another noticeable effect of this aggregation is that you are limited by the slowest interface, this is why in this case we are getting 2 times the bandwidth for a Gb interface.

2.7 Using LSF to submit jobs

2.7.1 basic submission and how to get information about the LSF job

As mentioned earlier, OpenMPI was compiled with support for LSF, which means we can use mpirun natively in bsub scripts / invocations. For example, the following will request 2 job slots (equivalent by default to 2 cores) on 2 different nodes:
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ bsub -n 2 -R span[ptile=1] mpirun ./IMB-MPI1 pingpong
Job <3525> is submitted to default queue <medium_priority>.

We can see which nodes are running the job:

[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ bjobs
JOBID   USER    STAT  QUEUE      FROM_HOST   EXEC_HOST   JOB_NAME   SUBMIT_TIME
3525    mehdi   RUN   medium_pri atsplat1    compute002  * pingpong Feb 14 09:03
                                             compute003

And also get detailed information about the job itself, once done:
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ bhist -l 3525

Job <3525>, User <mehdi>, Project <default>, Command <mpirun ./IMB-MPI1 pingpon
                     g>

[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$




2.7.2 how to get the output and verify everything is fine

The best way to double check the information given from LSF is exact is to run our hello job again and get the output written in a file. In our case we'll tag the output and error files with the job number (-o%J.out and -e%J.err):
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ bsub -o%J.out -e%J.err -n 2 -R span[ptile=1] mpirun ./hello
Job <3527> is submitted to default queue <medium_priority>.
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ bjobs
JOBID   USER    STAT  QUEUE      FROM_HOST   EXEC_HOST   JOB_NAME   SUBMIT_TIME
3527    mehdi   RUN   medium_pri atsplat1    compute003  *n ./hello Feb 14 09:10
                                             compute004
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ ls 3527*
3527.err  3527.out
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$



Good news, the error file is empty and the output file shows a perfect match between the hostname retrieved as part as the MPI job and the nodes allocated by LSF:
 


[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ cat 3527.err
[mehdi@atsplat1 ~]$ cat 3527.out
Sender: LSF System <hpcadmin@compute003>
Subject: Job 3527: <mpirun ./hello> Done
