Benchmarks and scripts to test the experimental implementation for task affinity

1. List of benchmarks tested

The following benchmarks have been tested with and without affinity extension for the OpenMP task construct.

• ./codes/stream
  • STREAM version that uses tasks instead of work sharing construct
• ./codes/bots/omp-tasks/sort
  • Parallel merge sort algorithm from bots benchmark suite
• ./codes/bots/omp-tasks/health
  • health benchmark from bots benchmark suite
• ./codes/sparse_CG/tasking
  • CG solver that uses SPMXV

2. How to compile and run

2.1 Clone repository that contains the customized runtime and switch to branch task-affinity

git clone https://github.com/RWTH-HPC/openmp.git
cd openmp  
git checkout task-affinity  

2.2 Move back to folder that contains openmp repo and clone this repository now

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/RWTH-HPC/task-affinity-codes.git
cd task-affinity-codes

2.3 Set the following environment variables. Then build the runtime

export RUNTIME_DIR=$(pwd)/../openmp
export RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR=$(pwd)/runtime_affinity_rel
export RUNTIME_AFF_DEB_DIR=$(pwd)/runtime_affinity_deb
export RUNTIME_ORG_REL_DIR=$(pwd)/runtime_original_rel
export RUNTIME_ORG_DEB_DIR=$(pwd)/runtime_original_deb
make

2.4 Set your C compiler either to intel or clang (Should be a compiler that is compatible with LLVM OpenMP runtime)

export CC=icc

2.5 Change to the desired OpenMP runtime with or without task affinity (here with task affinity)

# make sure custom llvm library will be executed (set explicitly or use module system)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LIBRARY_PATH=${RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR}/lib:${LIBRARY_PATH}

export INCLUDE=${RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR}/include:${INCLUDE}
export CPATH=${RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR}/include:${CPATH}
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=${RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR}/include:${C_INCLUDE_PATH}
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=${RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR}/include:${CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH}

2.6 Move to desired benchmark folder, compile and run the benchmark (Example here: Stream)

cd codes/stream
# this script will build and compare multiple versions
bash run_test.sh

Note: If you have linker issues complaining about task-affinity related symbols, you might need to add -L${RUNTIME_AFF_REL_DIR}/lib to your compile flags.
