Performance

Basic Performance Report

Overview

This document tries to understand Orchidee MICT computing time behavior. In the latest version 6.5 it takes a lot of time to compute. Around 8h in 0.5 degrees for 1 year. So it is necessary to understand why It happens. Once the issues are identified it might be possible to apply different solutions.

In order to make such thing possible the code is profiled. Different tools are used (vtune, vampir, gprof, ...). They provide an easy way to identify basic hotspots in the code.

MICT V6 (3344 + PFT interpolation) Module computing time

Starting from a basic configuration. At each test a new module is activated. This increases the numbers of modules at each test. Its purposes is to show the impact of each module when is used.

Trunk vs MICT Comparision 11/04/2016

  • Date 11/04/2016
  • ADA Machine
  • IOIPSL production mode
  • Orchidee production mode
  • 1Y
  • 16 cores
  • Forcing:
    • 1 Degree
    • 3H

Considerations:

  • MICT is in the same level of modifications as Trunk revision 3346
  • MICT is using parallel interpolation for aggregate 2D subroutine

Overview

Orchidee vs trunk profiling

Subroutines are placed in 4 different groups described below:

  • ioipsl: all subroutines related to IOIPSL library
  • Top orchidee: subroutines >1% of computing time
  • Interpolation: interpolation time by aggregate_2D subroutine
  • other orchidee: remaining subroutines from orchidee

Changes

  • CROP restart variables are now only active when CROP is enabled.
  • XIOS history outputs now include 4D/5D dimension. It allows to reduce the number of variables in the outputs.

Issues

  • 0.5 deg Out of memory is due to XIOS

Conclusion

  • 0.5deg - 64 procs: it might be due to 4D/5D variables.
  • 0.5deg computing time: less restart variables to write decreased total time. CROP module still has this problem.

Mict R3791 (XIOS 2)

  • Date: 30/09/16
  • Add all XIOS output fields

Issues

  • 0.5 deg Simulation Time is far too high. Even when the module is disabled.

Conclusion

  • 0.5deg Memory: the introduction of XIOS increases the memory usage
  • 0.5deg simulation time: a lots of more restart variables to write

Mict R3587 (XIOS 2 + thermosoil_cond_pft)

This specific branch involves the subroutine thermosoil_cond_pft. It is shown in some profiling reports to be highly consuming. The next tests are an effort to improve the performance.

All tests are done with 0.5 degres. All other parameters are the same specified in this section.

Description:

  • avx: 256 bit register
  • align 32: -align array32byte compilation flag
  • align 16: -align array16byte compilation flag
  • vecalign: source code lines to help the compiler improve the performance

Note: 0.5 deg in 4 N procs did not start due to memory requirements. 0.5 deg in 8 N procs could not finish the simulation in the maximum time given by the HPC. It stopped at the simulation day 322. Both values can be extrapolated.
