#NAME | ||
|
||
fi_opx \- The Omni-Path Express Fabric Provider | ||
|
||
#OVERVIEW | ||
|
||
The OPX provider is a native implementation of the libfabric interfaces | ||
that makes direct use of Omni-Path fabrics as well as libfabric | ||
acceleration features. | ||
The purpose of this provider is to show the scalability and | ||
performance of libfabric, providing an "extreme scale" development | ||
environment for applications and middleware using the libfabric API, and | ||
to support a functional and performant version of MPI on Omni-Path fabrics. | ||
|
||
#SUPPORTED FEATURES | ||
|
||
The OPX provider supports most features defined for the libfabric API. | ||
|
||
Key features include: | ||
|
||
Endpoint types | ||
: The Omni-Path HFI hardware is connectionless and reliable. | ||
The OPX provider only supports the *FI_EP_RDM* endpoint type. | ||
|
||
Capabilities | ||
: Supported capabilities include *FI_MSG*, *FI_RMA, *FI_TAGGED*, *FI_ATOMIC*, | ||
*FI_NAMED_RX_CTX*, *FI_SOURCE*, *FI_SEND*, *FI_RECV*, *FI_MULTI_RECV*, | ||
*FI_DIRECTED_RECV*, *FI_SOURCE*. | ||
|
||
Notes on *FI_DIRECTED_RECV* capability: The immediate data which is sent | ||
within the "senddata" call to support *FI_DIRECTED_RECV* for OPX | ||
must be exactly 4 bytes, which OPX uses to completely identify the | ||
source address to an exascale\-level number of ranks for tag matching on | ||
the recv and can be managed within the MU packet. | ||
Therefore the domain attribute "cq_data_size" is set to 4 which is the OFI | ||
standard minimum. | ||
|
||
Modes | ||
: Two modes are defined: *FI_CONTEXT2* and *FI_ASYNC_IOV*. | ||
The OPX provider requires *FI_CONTEXT2*. | ||
|
||
Additional features | ||
: Supported additional features include *FABRIC_DIRECT*, *scalable endpoints*, | ||
and *counters*. | ||
|
||
Progress | ||
: Only *FI_PROGRESS_MANUAL* is supported. | ||
|
||
Address vector | ||
: Only the *FI_AV_MAP* address vector format is supported. | ||
|
||
Memory registration modes | ||
: Only *FI_MR_SCALABLE* is supported. | ||
|
||
# UNSUPPORTED FEATURES | ||
|
||
Endpoint types | ||
: Unsupported endpoint types include *FI_EP_DGRAM* and *FI_EP_MSG*. | ||
|
||
Capabilities | ||
: The OPX provider does not support *FI_RMA_EVENT* and *FI_TRIGGER* | ||
capabilities. | ||
|
||
Address vector | ||
: The OPX provider does not support the *FI_AV_TABLE* address vector | ||
format. This may be added in the future. | ||
|
||
# LIMITATIONS | ||
|
||
As OPX is under development this list of limitations is subject | ||
to change. | ||
|
||
It runs under the following MPI versions: | ||
|
||
Intel MPI from Parallel Studio 2020, update 4. | ||
Intel MPI from OneAPI 2021, update 3. | ||
Open MPI 4.1.2a1 (Older version of Open MPI will not work). | ||
MPICH 3.4.2. | ||
|
||
Currently, this provider is PIO-only. SDMA is not supported | ||
at this time. | ||
|
||
Usage: | ||
|
||
If using with OpenMPI 4.1.x, disable UCX and openib transports. | ||
OPX is not compatible with Open MPI 4.1.x PML/BTL. | ||
DMA, RDMA and SDMA are not implemented. | ||
Performance falls off when using message sizes larger than | ||
1 MTU (4K max size). | ||
Shared memory is not cleaned up after an application crashes. Use | ||
"rm -rf /dev/shm/*" to remove old shared-memory files. | ||
|
||
# RUNTIME PARAMETERS | ||
|
||
*FI_OPX_UUID* | ||
: OPX requires a unique ID for each job. In order for all processes in a | ||
job to communicate with each other, they require to use the same UUID. | ||
This variable can be set with FI_OPX_UUID=${RANDOM} | ||
The default UUID is 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff. | ||
|
||
*FI_OPX_RELIABILITY_SERVICE_USEC_MAX* | ||
: This setting controls how frequently the reliability/replay function | ||
will issue PING requests to a remote connection. Reducing this value | ||
may improve performance at the expense of increased traffic on the OPX | ||
fabric. | ||
Default setting is 100. | ||
|
||
*FI_OPX_RELIABILITY_SERVICE_PRE_ACK_RATE* | ||
: This setting controls how frequently a receiving rank will send ACKs | ||
for packets it has received without being prompted through a PING request. | ||
A non-zero value N tells the receiving rank to send an ACK for the | ||
last N packets every Nth packet. Used in conjunction with an increased | ||
value for FI_OPX_RELIABILITY_SERVICE_USEC_MAX may improve performance. | ||
|
||
Valid values are 0 (disabled) and powers of 2 in the range of 1-32,768, inclusive. | ||
|
||
Default setting is 0 (disabled). | ||
|
||
*FI_OPX_HFI_SELECT* | ||
: Controls how OPX chooses which HFI to use when opening a context. | ||
Has two forms: | ||
- `<hfi-unit>` Force OPX provider to use `hfi-unit`. | ||
- `<selector1>[,<selector2>[,...,<selectorN>]]` Select HFI based on first matching `selector` | ||
|
||
Where `selector` is one of the following forms: | ||
- `default` to use the default logic | ||
- `fixed:<hfi-unit>` to fix to one `hfi-unit` | ||
- `<selector-type>:<hfi-unit>:<selector-data>` | ||
|
||
The above fields have the following meaning: | ||
- `selector-type` The selector criteria the caller opening the context is evaluated against. | ||
- `hfi-unit` The HFI to use if the caller matches the selector. | ||
- `selector-data` Data the caller must match (e.g. NUMA node ID). | ||
|
||
Where `selector-type` is one of the following: | ||
- `numa` True when caller is local to the NUMA node ID given by `selector-data`. | ||
- `core` True when caller is local to the CPU core given by `selector-data`. | ||
|
||
And `selector-data` is one of the following: | ||
- `value` The specific value to match | ||
- `<range-start>-<range-end>` Matches with any value in that range | ||
|
||
In the second form, when opening a context, OPX uses the `hfi-unit` of the | ||
first-matching selector. Selectors are evaluated left-to-right. OPX will | ||
return an error if the caller does not match any selector. | ||
|
||
In either form, it is an error if the specified or selected HFI is not in the | ||
Active state. In this case, OPX will return an error and execution will not | ||
continue. | ||
|
||
With this option, it is possible to cause OPX to try to open more contexts on | ||
an HFI than there are free contexts on that HFI. In this case, one or more of | ||
the context-opening calls will fail and OPX will return an error. | ||
For the second form, as which HFI is selected depends on properties of the | ||
caller, deterministic HFI selection requires deterministic caller properties. | ||
E.g. for the `numa` selector, if the caller can migrate between NUMA domains, | ||
then HFI selection will not be deterministic. | ||
|
||
The logic used will always be the first valid in a selector list. For example, `default` and | ||
`fixed` will match all callers, so if either are in the beginning of a selector list, you will | ||
only use `fixed` or `default` regardles of if there are any more selectors. | ||
|
||
Examples: | ||
- `FI_OPX_HFI_SELECT=1` all callers will open contexts on HFI 0. | ||
- `FI_OPX_HFI_SELECT=numa:0:0,numa:1:1,numa:0:2,numa:1:3` callers local to NUMA nodes 0 and 2 will use HFI 0, callers local to NUMA domains 1 and 3 will use HFI 1. | ||
- `FI_OPX_HFI_SELECT=numa:0:0-3,default` callers local to NUMA nodes 0 thru 3 (including 0 and 3) will use HFI 0, and all else will use default selection logic. | ||
- `FI_OPX_HFI_SELECT=core:1:0,fixed:0` callers local to CPU core 0 will use HFI 1, and all others will use HFI 0. | ||
- `FI_OPX_HFI_SELECT=default,core:1:0` all callers will use default HFI selection logic. | ||
