4 OpenMP Frequently used API for shared memory parallel computing in high performance computing FX10 supports OpenMP version 3.0 Shared memory, global view Describe whole data structure and whole computations Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 4

5 Weak Consistency Compiler can reorder operations, as long as it does not change the meaning in sequential execution Hardware can reorder operations, as long as it does not change the meaning in sequential execution Weak consistency The order of operations are guaranteed only at special commands Flush is the special command in OpenMP Usually used as implicitly in parallel, barrier, atomic, etc. Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 5

6 The solution int data; Barrier #pragma omp parallel if (producer) { produce_data data = produce_data(); #pragma omp barrier } else { // consumer #pragma omp barrier consume_data(data); consume_data Flush is not enough Flush of the producer must be earlier than flush of the consumer } Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 6

7 Barrier should be inserted Before writing data After writing data Before reading data After reading data Any thread reads data Any thread reads data One thread writes data One thread writes data Barrier Barrier Barrier Barrier Barrier Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 7

8 Performance Issues Mutual exclusion Synchronization Load imbalance Memory access congestion More issues Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 8

9 Mutual exclusion Atomic operation (#pragma omp atomic) Operation is done in an inseparable way Limited to a small number of operations Maybe done in hardware, so possibly very fast Critical section (#pragma omp critical) Any block of code can be declared as critical section While one thread resides in a critical section, no other thread can enter critical section Software implementation, so slower Lock (omp_set_lock(), omp_unset_lock(), etc.) While one thread keep the lock, no other thread can get the lock Software implementation, so slower Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 9

10 Atomic and Critical Section #pragma omp atomic x += a; #pragma omp atomic y *= b; #pragma omp critical x += a; #pragma omp critical y *= b; x += a and y *= b can be done in parallel Maybe hardware supported x += a and y *= b cannot be done in parallel Perhaps software implemented Use atomic if applicable Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 10

11 Synchronization #pragma omp barrier Wait until all the threads reach barrier Barrier Barrier Barrier Barrier Barrier takes time ~ 1μμμμ Amount to many thousands of operations Load imbalance produces idle times Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 11

12 Load balancing = equal time? Load balancing: Assign same amount of computation for each thread When threads do the same computations, do they consume the same time? Actually not, on shared memory processors Arbitration at atomic operations and critical sections, collision at memory access, OS tasks etc. More fluctuation if all cores are used Sometimes, dynamic load balancing is better than perfect static load balancing Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 12

13 Loop Scheduling clauses Schedule clause in omp-for #pragma omp for schedule(kind [, chunk_size]) Kinds of OpenMP Loop scheduling static dynamic guided auto Schedule decided by compiler or system runtime Environment variable OMP_SCHEDULE Function omp_set_schedule(kind, modifier) Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 13

14 Loop Scheduling 1. Static: round-robin assignments of fixed chunks Block Cyclic in distributed computing Dynamic: dynamic assignments of fixed chunks An idle thread asks a new chunk to compute Guided: dynamic assignments, starting with big chunk size, reducing into the given chunk size Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 14

15 Performance tips Use atomic rather than critical (if possible) Reduce synchronization Balance the loads, consider dynamic load balancing Choose best performing loop scheduling Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 15

16 Memory models Shared memory Uniform Memory Access (UMA) Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Proc Proc Proc Proc Proc Proc Proc Proc Memory Mem Mem Mem Mem In NUMA, memory access costs (latency and bandwidth) are different from core s own memory and other cores memory Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 16

17 First touch principle In whose memory it is allocated? First touch principle At the allocation (malloc etc.), the physical position is not determined At the first access to the allocated memory (must be a write), it is allocated on the memory space of the accessing core Assignment is usually in the unit of pages (4KB etc) Proc Proc Proc Proc Mem Mem Mem Mem Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 17

18 Affinity Use (mostly) static scheduling, so that each thread always accesses the same (similar) memory area Stop OS from moving threads among cores Use the same scheduling for initialization #pragma omp parallel for (static, 512) for (i = 0; i < n; i ++) a[i] = 0.0; Proc Proc Proc Proc Mem Mem Mem Mem If possible, design so that the each thread uses a memory size of a multiple of the page size If possible, align starting address to the page boundary Parallel Numerical Algorithms / IST / UTokyo 18
