Special Forums UNIX and Linux Applications High Performance Computing How to check performance of your HPC cluster? Post 302643935 by otheus on Monday 21st of May 2012 04:02:26 AM

"Understanding" isn't so important. At the end of the results, there is a number labeled "GLOPS". It looks like this:
Code:
WR00L2C2        8192    16     1     1             327.60          1.119e+00

The first column expresses some of the options used in the options (HPL.dat) file. The next two columns express the size in dimensions. The last column -- the one you want -- is the number of Gigaflops measured for that run. It's in scientific notation, meaning:
Code:
1.119 x 10^(00)  = 1.119 GFlops

If the output were 3.42e-01, then you'd have:
Code:
3.42 x 10^(-01) = 0.342 GFlops = 342 MFlops

Do you understand now?

As to how to configure this to run on multiple nodes, you have to (1) configure HPL.dat to run on mxn processors, where m and n are close together; so if you have a cluster containing 12 cores, optimal is normally m=3 and n=4. That's not always the case, but it typically is. (2) You must configure your MPI environment so that it runs on that many processors. How you do #2 depends on your MPICH software and setup. If you have a batch system like PBS or SGE, that further complicates the matter, as you need to queue the job with that number of processors. Sometimes with queuing engines, you can't easily dictate which nodes the job will run on. So if you have 6 nodes each with 4 cores, it might not be possible to say "run this on 3 nodes using all cores on each one". (But normally it's possible to say "run it on 3 nodes using 1 core on each one".)

cmdeleteconf(1m)														  cmdeleteconf(1m)

NAME
cmdeleteconf - Delete either the cluster or the package configuration SYNOPSIS
cmdeleteconf [-f] [-v] [-c cluster_name] [[-p package_name]...] DESCRIPTION
cmdeleteconf deletes either the entire cluster configuration, including all its packages, or only the specified package configuration. If neither cluster_name nor package_name is specified, cmdeleteconf will delete the local cluster's configuration and all its packages. If the local node's cluster configuration is outdated, cmdeleteconf without any argument will only delete the local node's configuration. If only the package_name is specified, the configuration of package_name in the local cluster is deleted. If both cluster_name and pack- age_name are specified, the package must be configured in the cluster_name, and only the package package_name will be deleted. cmdelete- conf with only cluster_name specified will delete the entire cluster configuration on all the nodes in the cluster, regardless of the con- figuration version. The local cluster is the cluster that the node running the cmdeleteconf command belongs to. Only a superuser, whose effective user ID is zero (see id(1) and su(1)), can delete the configuration. To delete the cluster configuration, halt the cluster first. To delete a package configuration you must halt the package first, but you do not need to halt the cluster (it may remain up or be brought down). To delete the package VxVM-CVM-pkg (HP-UX only), you must first delete all packages with STORAGE_GROUP defined. While deleting the cluster, if any of the cluster nodes are powered down, the user can choose to continue deleting the configuration. In this case, the cluster configuration on the down node will remain in place and, therefore, be out of sync with the rest of the cluster. If the powered-down node ever comes up, the user should execute the cmdeleteconf command with no argument on that node to clean up the config- uration before doing any other Serviceguard command. Options cmdeleteconf supports the following options: -f Force the deletion of either the cluster configuration or the package configuration. -v Verbose output will be displayed. -c cluster_name Name of the cluster to delete. The cluster must be halted already, if intending to delete the cluster. -p package_name Name of an existing package to delete from the cluster. The package must be halted already. There should not be any packages in the cluster with STORAGE_GROUP defined before having a package_name of VxVM-CVM-pkg (HP-UX only). RETURN VALUE
Upon completion, cmdeleteconf returns one of the following values: 0 Successful completion. 1 Command failed. EXAMPLES
The high availability environment contains the cluster, clusterA , and a package, pkg1. To delete package pkg1 in clusterA, do the following: cmdeleteconf -f -c clusterA -p pkg1 To delete the cluster clusterA and all its packages, do the following: cmdeleteconf -f -c clusterA AUTHOR
