GPU Building Blocks - key techonolgy tests and demonstration

Prototypes and Functionality tests for GPU & MPI programming models relevant to plasma modeling code Uses HIP programming model to target both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs and GPU pointers with MPI One-sided methods.

Build the microapp test applications

Note: These commands have been tested on NERSC Perlmutter's default module environment except as follows:

module load hip
make

Note: These commands have been tested on OLCF Frontier's default module environment except as follows:

module load PrgEnv-amd
module load craype-accel-amd-gfx90a
make

The Makefile builds three variants of the microapp driver that uses MPI one-side "PUT" messaging mimicing an unstructured ghost face exchange

  • Canonical same-source host and kernel code compiled at same time
  • The runtime load shared library module approach
  • Runtime comilation of kernels from source code strings

Run the microapp test with MPI distributed variable

export MPICH_GPU_SUPPORT_ENABLED=1
srun  --gpu-bind=none --time-min=2 -n16 --ntasks-per-node=4 -C gpu --gpus-per-task=1 ./microapp.mpi_hip_compile_time.exe <numElements>  initialize_element_kernel


srun  --gpu-bind=none --time-min=2 -n16 --ntasks-per-node=4 -C gpu --gpus-per-task=1 ./microapp.mpi_hip_rtc.exe <numElements>  ./libkernel_parts.so initialize_element_kernel

#note the runtime shared-library module version requires additional argument for the shared library path.  Absolute path may be best.
srun  --gpu-bind=none --time-min=2 -n16 --ntasks-per-node=4 -C gpu --gpus-per-task=1 ./microapp.mpi_hip_runtime_module.exe <numElements>  ./dir.mpi_hip_runtime_module/hip_kernel_module.so  initialize_element_kernel

NOTE that on perlmutter, a bug in cray-mpich through at least version 8.1.24 requires disabling GPU binding --gpu-bind=none or you'll see an error signature like the following.
