1 Toward a practical HPC Cloud : Performance tuning of a virtualized HPC cluster Ryousei Takano Information Technology Research Institute, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan SC2011@Seattle, Nov

2 Outline What is HPC Cloud? Performance tuning method for HPC Cloud PCI passthrough NUMA affinity VMM noise reduction Performance evaluation 2

3 HPC Cloud HPC Cloud utilizes cloud resources in High Performance Computing (HPC) applications Virtualized Clusters Users require resources according to needs Provider allocates users a dedicated virtual cluster on demand Physical Cluster 3

4 HPC Cloud (cont d) Pros: User side: easy to deployment Provider side: high resource utilization Cons: Performance degradation? The method of performance tuning on a virtualized environment is not established. 4

5 Toward a practical HPC Cloud VM1 VMM Guest OS NIC Physical driver To reduce the overhead of interrupt virtualization To disable unnecessary services on the host OS (i.e., ksmd). Set NUMA affinity Reduce VMM noise (not completed) True HPC Cloud The performance is closing to that of bare metals. VM (QEMU process) Guest OS Threads Use PCI passthrough VCPU threads Linux kernel Current HPC Cloud Its performance is not good and unstable. KVM Physical CPU CPU socket 5

10 MPI Point-to-Point communication performance (higher is better) 1000 Bandwidth [MB/sec] PCI passthrough improves MPI communication throughput close to that of bare metal machines. Bare Metal KVM k 10k 100k 1M 10M 100M 1G Message size [byte] Bare Metal: non-virtualized cluster 10

11 NUMA affinity Execution time on a single node: NPB multi-zone (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and Bloss (Non-linear eignsolver) SP-MZ [sec] BT-MZ [sec] Bloss [min] Bare Metal (1.00) (1.00) (1.00) KVM KVM (w/ bind) (1.02) (1.11) (1.03) (1.05) (1.01) (1.01) NUMA affinity is an important performance factor not only on bare metal machines but also on virtual machines. 11

12 NPB BT-MZ: Parallel efficiency 300 (higher is better) 100 Performance [Gop/s total] Degradation of PE: KVM: 2%, EC2: 14% Bare Metal KVM Amazon EC2 Bare Metal (PE) KVM (PE) Amazon EC2 (PE) Parallel efficiency [%] Number of nodes 0 12
