Cluster HPCA computing cluster

a number of computing nodes connected together via special hardware and software that together can solve large problems.

A cluster is much less expensive than a single supercomputer (e.g., a mainframe)Using clusters effectively requires support in scientific software applications (e.g., Matlab's Parallel Toolbox, or R's Snow library), or custom code

Programming Models

Two basic parallel programming modelsMessage-passingThe application consists of several processes running on different nodes and communicating with each other over the network

Used when the data are too large to fit on a single node, and simple synchronization is adequate“Coarse parallelism”Implemented using MPI (Message Passing Interface) libraries

Multi-threadedThe application consists of a single process containing several parallel threads that communicate with each other using synchronization primitives

Used when the data can fit into a single process, and the communications overhead of the message-passing model is intolerable“Fine-grained parallelism” or “shared-memory parallelism”Implemented using OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) compilers and libraries

Flux networkAll Flux nodes are interconnected via Infiniband and a campus-wide private Ethernet networkThe Flux login nodes are also connected to the campus backbone networkThe Flux data transfer node is connected over a 10 Gbps connection to the campus backbone networkThis means

The Flux login nodes can access the InternetThe Flux compute nodes cannotIf Infiniband is not available for a compute node, code on that node will fall back to Ethernet communications

Using Flux3. An MToken (or a Software Token)

Required for access to the login nodesImproves cluster security by requiring a second means of proving your identity

You can use either an MToken or an application for your mobile device (called a Software Token) for thisInformation on obtaining and using these tokens at http://cac.engin.umich.edu/resources/login-nodes/tfa

Logging in to Fluxssh flux-login.engin.umich.edu

MToken (or Software Token) requiredYou will be randomly connected a Flux login node

Currently flux-login1 or flux-login2Firewalls restrict access to flux-login.To connect successfully, either

Physically connect your ssh client platform to the U-M campus wired or MWireless network, orUse VPN software on your client platform, orUse ssh to login to an ITS login node (login.itd.umich.edu), and ssh to flux-login from there

Flux Batch Operations

6/14

Page 37: High Performance Computing Workshop HPC 101

cja 2014 37

Portable Batch System

All production runs are run on the compute nodes using the Portable Batch System (PBS)PBS manages all aspects of cluster job execution except job scheduling

Flux uses the Torque implementation of PBSFlux uses the Moab scheduler for job schedulingTorque and Moab work together to control access to the compute nodes

PBS puts jobs into queuesFlux has a single queue, named flux

6/14

Page 38: High Performance Computing Workshop HPC 101

cja 2014 38

Cluster workflowYou create a batch script and submit it to PBSPBS schedules your job, and it enters the flux queueWhen its turn arrives, your job will execute the batch scriptYour script has access to any applications or data stored on the Flux clusterWhen your job completes, anything it sent to standard output and error are saved and returned to youYou can check on the status of your job at any time, or delete it if it’s not doing what you wantA short time after your job completes, it disappears

6/14

Page 39: High Performance Computing Workshop HPC 101

cja 2014 39

Basic batch commands

Once you have a script, submit it:qsub scriptfile

$ qsub singlenode.pbs6023521.nyx.engin.umich.edu

You can check on the job status:qstat jobidqstat -u user$ qstat -u cjanyx.engin.umich.edu: Req'd Req'd ElapJob ID Username Queue Jobname SessID NDS TSK Memory Time S Time-------------------- -------- -------- ---------------- ------ ----- --- ------ ----- - -----6023521.nyx.engi cja flux hpc101i -- 1 1 -- 00:05 Q --

PBS attributesAs always, man qsub is your friend

-N : sets the job name, can’t start with a number-V : copy shell environment to compute node-A youralloc_flux: sets the allocation you are using-l qos=flux: sets the quality of service parameter-q flux: sets the queue you are submitting to-l : requests resources, like number of cores or nodes-M : whom to email, can be multiple addresses-m : when to email: a=job abort, b=job begin, e=job end-j oe: join STDOUT and STDERR to a common file

-I : allow interactive use-X : allow X GUI use

PBS resources (1)A resource (-l) can specify:

Request wallclock (that is, running) time-l walltime=HH:MM:SSRequest C MB of memory per core-l pmem=CmbRequest T MB of memory for entire job-l mem=Tmb Request M cores on arbitrary node(s)-l procs=MRequest a token to use licensed software-l gres=stata:1-l gres=matlab-l gres=matlab%Communication_toolbox

PBS resources (2)A resource (-l) can specify:

For multithreaded code:Request M nodes with at least N cores per node-l nodes=M:ppn=NRequest M cores with exactly N cores per node (note the differencevis a vis ppn syntax and semantics!)-l nodes=M,tpn=N(you’ll only use this for specific algorithms)

Interactive jobsYou can submit jobs interactively:

qsub -I -X -V -l procs=2 -l walltime=15:00 -A youralloc_flux -l qos=flux –q flux

This queues a job as usualYour terminal session will be blocked until the job runsWhen your job runs, you'll get an interactive shell on one of your nodesInvoked commands will have access to all of your nodesWhen you exit the shell your job is deleted

Interactive jobs allow you toDevelop and test on cluster node(s)Execute GUI tools on a cluster nodeUtilize a parallel debugger interactively

Lab 6Task: Run an interactive job

Enter this command (all on one line):qsub -I -V -l procs=1 -l walltime=30:00 -A FluxTraining_flux -l qos=flux -q fluxWhen your job starts, you’ll get an interactive shellCopy and paste the batch commands from the “run” file, one at a time, into this shellExperiment with other commandsAfter thirty minutes, your interactive shell will be killed

Introduction to Scheduling

6/14

Page 50: High Performance Computing Workshop HPC 101

cja 2014 50

The Scheduler (1/3)Flux scheduling policies:

The job’s queue determines the set of nodes you run onThe job’s account and qos determine the allocation to be charged

If you specify an inactive allocation, your job will never run

The job’s resource requirements help determine when the job becomes eligible to run

If you ask for unavailable resources, your job will wait until they become freeThere is no pre-emption

6/14

Page 51: High Performance Computing Workshop HPC 101

cja 2014 51

The Scheduler (2/3)Flux scheduling policies:

If there is competition for resources among eligible jobs in the allocation or in the cluster, two things help determine when you run:

How long you have waited for the resourceHow much of the resource you have used so farThis is called “fairshare”

The scheduler will reserve nodes for a job with sufficient priority

This is intended to prevent starving jobs with large resource requirements

6/14

Page 52: High Performance Computing Workshop HPC 101

cja 2014 52

The Scheduler (3/3)Flux scheduling policies:

If there is room for shorter jobs in the gaps of the schedule, the scheduler will fit smaller jobs in those gaps

This is called “backfill”

CoresTime

6/14

Page 53: High Performance Computing Workshop HPC 101

cja 2014 53

Gaining insightThere are several commands you can run to get some insight over the scheduler’s actions:

freenodes : shows the number of free nodes and cores currently availablemdiag -a youralloc_name : shows resources defined for your allocation and who can run against itshowq -w acct=yourallocname: shows jobs using your allocation (running/idle/blocked)checkjob jobid : Can show why your job might not be startingshowstart -e all jobid : Gives you a coarse estimate of job start time; use the smallest value returned

SummaryThe Flux cluster is just a collection of similar Linux machines connected together to run your code, much faster than your desktop canCommand-line scripts are queued by a batch system and executed when resources become availableSome important commands areqsubqstat -u usernameqdel jobidcheckjob

Develop and test, then submit your jobs in bulk and let the scheduler optimize their execution
