【问题描述】:
我是 MPI 新手,想测量两个节点之间 MPI_Send 和 MPI_Recv 的通信成本。为此,我编写了以下代码:
/*==============================================================
* print_elapsed (prints timing statistics)
*==============================================================*/
void print_elapsed(const char* desc, struct timeval* start, struct timeval* end, int numiterations) {
struct timeval elapsed;
/* calculate elapsed time */
if(start->tv_usec > end->tv_usec) {
end->tv_usec += 1000000;
end->tv_sec--;
}
elapsed.tv_usec = end->tv_usec - start->tv_usec;
elapsed.tv_sec = end->tv_sec - start->tv_sec;
printf("\n%s total elapsed time = %ld (usec)\n",
desc, (elapsed.tv_sec*1000000 + elapsed.tv_usec)/numiterations );
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int nprocs, nElements; /* command line args */
int my_id;
long double* buffer, *rec_buffer;
/* gettimeofday stuff */
struct timeval start, end; /* gettimeofday stuff */
struct timezone tzp;
MPI_Status status; /* Status variable for MPI operations */
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &my_id); /* Getting the ID for this process */
/*---------------------------------------------------------
* Read Command Line
* - check usage and parse args
*---------------------------------------------------------*/
if(argc < 2) {
if(my_id == 0)
printf("Usage: %s [nElements]\n\n", argv[0]);
MPI_Finalize();
exit(1);
}
nElements = atoi(argv[1]);
int numiterations = 64;
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &nprocs); /* Get number of processors */
if(my_id == 0)
printf("\nExecuting %s: numElements=%d \n",
argv[0], nElements);
buffer = (long double *) malloc(sizeof(long double)*nElements);
rec_buffer = (long double *) malloc(sizeof(long double)*nElements);
if(buffer == NULL) {
printf("Processor %d - unable to malloc()\n", my_id);
MPI_Finalize();
exit(1);
}
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
if(my_id == 1)
gettimeofday(&start, &tzp);
for(int i = 0 ; i < numiterations ; ++i)
{
if(my_id == 0)
MPI_Send(buffer, nElements, MPI_LONG, 1, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
if(my_id == 1)
MPI_Recv(rec_buffer, nElements, MPI_LONG, 0, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
}
if(my_id == 1) {
gettimeofday(&end,&tzp);
}
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
if(my_id == 1) {
print_elapsed("Summation", &start, &end, numiterations);
}
free(buffer);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
} /* main() */
我重复发送和接收numiteration 次,但我没有关于初始化成本和实际通信时间的信息。我想知道是否有更好的方法或工具来更详细地衡量沟通成本。
【问题讨论】:
-
现代性与它无关(尽管 MPI 在今年推出的新版本规范中仍然活跃且良好)。 MPI 和线程完成不同的事情,用于解决不同的问题。
-
@WesleyBland 据我所知,TBB 用于共享内存系统,不支持分布式系统。
