Benchmarking UM Version4.5 on different Architectures
Preamble
- Cluster/Parallel file systems are often a bottleneck. Timings are for writing to local disk, unless specified otherwise.
- If the model is not filesystem-bound, it is often (MPI massage) latency-bound.
- Only the master process writes output, this can lead to load-balance issues, which hinder scaling.
- Worst case message latencies for a cohort of processors are what matter for scaling. The vast majority of messages are either ~100 bytes or ~1KB in size. Latencies are reported for these key message sizes.
Emerald
- Intel Westmere E5649 (2.53GHz)
- QDR Infiniband (non-RoCE)
- GCOMv3.1
| IMB ping-pong message latency | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 bytes | 128 bytes | 1024 bytes | |
| between nodes | ~2.0us | ~2.4us | ~4.7us |
FAMOUS
| Domain Decomposition | Number of Cores | Model-years/day |
| 4x3 | 12 | ~313 |
| 6x4 | 24 | ~360 |
| 12x3 | 36 | ~424 |
HadCM3
| Domain Decomposition | Number of Cores | Model-years/day |
| 4x3 | 12 | ~24 |
| 6x4 | 24 | ~40 |
| 12x3 | 36 | ~60 |
Intel SandyBridge Test System
- Test system: Quad socket, 8-core E-4650L (2.60GHz) (L for Low power)
- 20MB L3 cache
- GCOMv3.1
| IMB ping-pong message latency | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 bytes | 128 bytes | 1024 bytes | |
| between sockets | ~0.70us | ~1.15us | ~2.0us |
FAMOUS
| Domain Decomposition | Number of Cores | Model-years/day |
| 4x2 | 8 | ~327 |
| 8x2 | 16 | ~450 |
| 8x4 | 32 | ~480 |
- The last line of this table shows a real problem scaling beyond 16 cores. Load balance? (Latencies are much better than QDR IB.)
- Would like to try to improve file writing performance and re-run.
HadCM3
| Domain Decomposition | Number of Cores | Model-years/day |
| 8x2 | 16 | ~48 |
| 8x4 | 32 | ~65 |
Polaris
- Intel E5-2670 @ 2.60GHz
- Infiniband: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]
- Lustre
FAMOUS
| Domain Decomposition | Number of Cores | Model-years/day |
| 4x4 | 16 | ~330 |
| 8x4 | 32 | ~330 |
HadCM3
| Domain Decomposition | Number of Cores | Model-years/day |
| 4x4 | 16 | ~51 |
| 8x4 | 32 | ~73 |
| 16x4 | 64 | ~73 |
