2 Agenda the computing time is influenced by: - Model size - Hardware - Operating system - Memory allocation - solver - parallelization

3 Agenda the computing time is influenced by: - Memory allocation - solver - parallelization

4 Memory allocation A check run can be very helpful in estimating the memory and disk space usage. The solver automatically chooses an in-core, out-of-core, or minimum core solution based on the memory allocated. A solution type can be forced by defining the core option in the run script; the memory necessary for the specified solution type is then assigned.

5 Memory allocation When more memory is requested than actual available RAM, OptiStructwill run much slower due to swapping. there will be a significant difference between the elapsed time and the CPU time Memory that is not used by OptiStructis still available for I/O caching. So the amount of free memory can dramatically effect the wall clock time of the run. The more free memory, the less I/O wait time and the faster the job will run. Even if an analysis is too large to run in-core, having extra memory available will increase the speed of the analysis because unused RAM will be used by the operating system to buffer disk requests.

13 parallelization SMP Shared Memory Parallelization SPMD Single Program Multiple Data Hybrid SPMD + SMP SMP with usage of GPU

14 Parallelization - SMP SMP - Shared Memory Parallelism based on shared memory architecture of computers all processors can access a common memory space. Each process can access to all memory allocated by the program. Howtorunan SMP-job?

15 Parallelization - SMP Model info solid -gear case model 3 static subcases with different SPC s Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : system + software info Linux el5 16 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E GHz CPU speed 1200 MHz MB RAM, 8191 MB swap OptiStruct elapsed time vs. number of cores in SMP run Run with BCS direct solver

16 Parallelization - SMP Model info BIW Free-free-Eigenmodes # 200 Modes Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : system + software info Linux el5 16 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E GHz CPU speed 1200 MHz MB RAM, 8191 MB swap OptiStruct elapsed time vs. number of cores in SMP run Run with Amses-solver

17 Parallelization - SMP Model info 1 static subcases 2 nd orderhexa-elements Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : elapsed time vs. number of cores in SMP run Run with PCG iterative solver

18 Parallelization - SMP Model info Engine block Nlstat -contact with friction 2 load cases (pretension step + loading step) Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : elapsed time vs. number of cores in SMP run Run with MUMPS direct unsymetric solver

19 Parallelization - SMP SMP when should it be used? Shows speedup on all examples for each solver Usageof 4 (Cores + GPU s) add no additional cost On some models SPMD shows more speedup.

20 Parallelization - SPMD SPMD - Single Program Multiple Data OptiStruct divides the analysis into several domains (if possible). Howtorunan SPMD-job?

21 Parallelization - SPMD Model info solid -gear case model 3 static subcases with different SPC s Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : system + software info Linux el5 16 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E GHz CPU speed 1200 MHz MB RAM, 8191 MB swap OptiStruct elapsed time vs. number of cores in MPI run *mpi 4*mpi 8*mpi 1 CPU Run with BCS direct solver

22 Parallelization - SPMD Model info BIW Free-free-Eigenmodes # 200 Modes Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : system + software info Linux el5 16 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E GHz CPU speed 1200 MHz MB RAM, 8191 MB swap OptiStruct elapsed time vs. number of cores in MPI run *mpi 4*mpi 8*mpi 1 CPU Run with Amses-solver

23 Parallelization - SPMD Model info 1 static subcases 2 nd order Hexa-elements Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : only 1 static subcases -> SPMD not useful

24 Parallelization - SPMD Model info Engine block Nlstat -contact with friction 2 load cases (pretension step + loading step) Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : subcases (pretension step + loading step) Loading step is a nonlinear solution sequence from a preceding (pretension) nonlinear subcase Subcase can not be run in parallel -> SPMD not useful

25 Parallelization - SPMD SPMD when should it be used? Multiple linear static load cases with different constrains Multiple nonlinear static load cases, if load cases are independent Multiple buckling load cases Direct frequency response with multiple loading frequencies Multiple modal load cases with different constrains Mixed load cases e.g. static + normal modes When load cases are parallelized the memory requirement increases as well, unlike SMP

26 Parallelization - Hybrid Hybrid combination from SPMD + SMP OptiStructdivides the analysis into several domains (if possible) and uses SMP for each subdomain. How to run an hybrid-job?

27 Parallelization - Hybrid Model info solid -gear case model 3 static subcases with different SPC s Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : system + software info Linux el5 16 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E GHz CPU speed 1200 MHz MB RAM, 8191 MB swap OptiStruct 12.0 SMP speedup inside MPI run *mpi 4*mpi a 2*smp 4*mpi a 4*smp 1 CPU Run with BCS direct solver

28 Parallelization - Hybrid Hybrid when should it be used? When max. number of SPMD-parallelization is reached and still more core s are available E.g. 16 cores and 3 static load cases (with different SPC s) 4*SPMD (3 load cases + 1 managing) a 4 SMP When max number of SPMD-parallelization can not be used due to insufficient memory.

29 Parallelization - GPU SMP with usage of GPU Currently it is 1 GPU + 1/more CPU s Howtorunan GPU-job? GPU Recommended GPU s

30 Parallelization SMP+GPU Model info solid -gear case model 3 static subcases with different SPC s Total # of Grids (Structural) : Total # of Elements : system + software info Linux el5 16 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E GHz CPU speed 1200 MHz MB RAM, 8191 MB swap influence of 1 additional GPU on the number of cores 1 CPU Run with BCS direct solver

31 Parallelization - GPU GPU when could it be used? Static analysis/optimization with BCS - direct solver. available on 64-bit Linux platform available for SMP-module When SPMD is possible it might give more speedup.

32 summary General recommendations: Run in-core solution if possible If not possible, still more memory helps to reduce I/O-time there is usually no reason to use less then 4 core s (SMP) Run SPMD when having appropriate load cases Use AMSES-solver for large modal analysis (and combine it with SMP) Optional recommendations: Try PCG-solver on bulky-solid models under static load, especially when memory is not sufficient to run direct solver in-core.
