Math Kernel Library Developer Guide
To start working with the benchmark,
On a cluster file system, unpack the Intel Optimized HPCG package to a directory accessible by all nodes. Read and accept the license as indicated in the readme.txt file included in the package.
Change the directory to hpcg/bin.
Determine the prebuilt version of the benchmark that is best for your system or follow QUICKSTART instructions to build a version of the benchmark for your MPI implementation.
Ensure that Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library, Intel C/C++ Compiler and MPI run-time environments have been set properly. You can do this using the scriptsvars.sh, compilervars.sh, and mpivars.sh that are included in those distributions.
Run the chosen version of the benchmark.
#> mpiexec.hydra -n 256 -ppn 2 env OMP_NUM_THREADS=18 KMP_AFFINITY=granularity=fine,compact,1,0 ./bin/xhpcg_avx2 -n192
#> mpiexec.hydra -n 512 -ppn 2 env OMP_NUM_THREADS=34 KMP_AFFINITY=granularity=fine,compact,1,0 ./bin/xhpcg_knl -n160
When the benchmark completes execution, which usually takes a few minutes, find the YAML file with official results in the current directory. The performance rating of the benchmarked system is in the last section of the file:
HPCG result is VALID with a GFLOP/s rating of: [GFLOP/s]
Optimization Notice |
---|
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice. Notice revision #20110804 |
