Login, job submission, deployment of image

Select sites and clusters for experiments, using information on the Grid5000 network and the Status page
Access is provided via access nodes access.SITE.grid5000.fr marked here as accessible from everywhere via ssh with keyboard-interactive authentication method. As soon as you are on one of the sites, you can directly ssh frontend node of any other site:

access_$ ssh frontend.SITE2

There is no access to Internet from computing nodes (external IPs should be registered on proxy), therefore, download/update your stuff at the access nodes. Several revision control clients are available.
Each site has a separate NFS, therefore, to run an application on several sites at once, you need to copy it scp, sftp, rsync between access or frontend nodes.
Jobs are run from the frondend nodes, using a PBS-like system OAR. Basic commands:
- oarstat - queue status
- oarsub - job submission
- oardel - job removal

Interactive job on deployed images:

fontend_$ oarsub -I -t deploy -l [/cluster=N/]nodes=N,walltime=HH[:MM[:SS]] [-p 'PROPERTY="VALUE"']

Batch job on installed images:

fontend_$ oarsub BATCH_FILE -t allow_classic_ssh -l [/cluster=N/]nodes=N,walltime=HH[:MM[:SS]] [-p 'PROPERTY="VALUE"']

The image to deploy can be created and loaded with help of a Systemimager-like system Kadeploy. Creating: described here

Loading:

fontend_$ kadeploy3 -a PATH_TO_PRIVATE_IMAGE_DESC -f $OAR_FILE_NODES

A Linux distribution lenny-x64-nfs-2.1 with mc, subversion, autotools, doxygen, MPICH2, GSL, Boost, R, gnuplot, graphviz, X11, evince is available at Orsay /home/nancy/alastovetsky/grid5000.

Compiling and running MPI applications

Compilation should be done on one of the reserved nodes (e.g. ssh `head -n 1 $OAR_NODEFILE`)
Running MPI applications is described here
- mpirun/mpiexec should be run from one of the reserved nodes (e.g. ssh `head -n 1 $OAR_NODEFILE`)

Setting up new deploy image

oarsub -I -t deploy -l nodes=1,walltime=12
kadeploy3 -e lenny-x64-nfs -f $OAR_FILE_NODES -k
ssh root@`head -n 1 $OAR_NODEFILE`

GotoBLAS2

When compiling gotoblas on a node without direct internet access get this error:

wget http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.1.1.tgz

Fix by downloading http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.1.1.tgz to the GotoBLAS2 source directory and editing this line in the Makefile

GotoBLAS needs to be compiled individualy for each unique machine - ie each cluster. Add the following to .bashrc

export CLUSTER=`hostname |sed 's/\([a-z]*\).*/\1/'`
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib/$CLUSTER:$HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib/$CLUSTER:$HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH

Run the following script once on each cluster:

#! /bin/bash
echo "Compiling gotoblas for cluster: $CLUSTER"
cd $HOME/src
if [ ! -d "$CLUSTER" ]; then
        mkdir $CLUSTER
fi
cd $CLUSTER
tar -xzf ../Goto*.tar.gz
cd Goto*
make &> m.log


if [ ! -d "$HOME/lib/$CLUSTER" ]; then
        mkdir $HOME/lib/$CLUSTER
fi

cp libgoto2.so $HOME/lib/$CLUSTER

echo results
ls -d $HOME/src/$CLUSTER
ls $HOME/src/$CLUSTER

ls -d $HOME/lib/$CLUSTER
ls $HOME/lib/$CLUSTER

Paging and the OOM-Killer

When doing exhaustion of available memory experiments, problems can occur with over-commit. See HCL_cluster#Paging_and_the_OOM-Killer for more detail.

Example of experiment setup across several sites

Sources of all files mentioned below is available at: Grid5000:sources.

Pick one head node as the main head node (I use grenoble, but any will do). Setup sources

cd dave/fupermod-1.1.0
make clean
./configure --with-cblas=goto --prefix=/usr/local/

Reserve 2 nodes from all clusters on a 3 cluster site:

oarsub -r "2011-07-25 11:01:01" -t deploy  -l cluster=3/nodes=2,walltime=11:59:00

Automate with:

for a in 2 3 4; do for i in `cat sites.$a`; do echo $a $i; ssh $i oarsub -r "2011-07-25 11:01:01" -t deploy -l cluster=$a/nodes=2,walltime=11:59:00; done; done

Then on each site, where xxx is site name:

kadeploy3 -a $HOME/grid5000/lenny-dave.env  -f $OAR_NODE_FILE --output-ok-nodes deployed.xxx

Gather deployed files to a head node:

for i in `cat ~/sites `; do echo $i; scp $i:deployed* . ; done
cat deployed.* > deployed.all

Copy cluster specific libs to each deployed node /usr/local/lib dir with script

copy_local_libs.sh deployed.all

Copy source files to root dir of each deployed node. Then make install each (node ssh -f does this in parallel)

for i in `cat ~/deployed.all`; do echo $i; rsync -aP ~/dave/fupermod-1.1.0 root@$i: ; done
for i in `cat ~/deployed.all`; do echo $i; ssh -f root@$i "cd fupermod-1.1.0 ; make all install" ; done

ssh to the first node

ssh `head -n1 deployed.all`
n=$(cat deployed.all |wc -l)
mpdboot --totalnum=$n --file=$HOME/deployed.all
mpdtrace

cd dave/data/
mpirun -n $n /usr/local/bin/partitioner -l /usr/local/lib/libmxm_col.so -a0 -D10000 -o N=100

Cleanup after:

for i in `cat ~/sites `; do echo $i; ssh $i rm deployed.* ; done

Check network speed

apt-get install iperf
