Benchmark Turing Pi 2 cluster with 4x RK1 Nodes

Closed this issue · 5 comments

I am going to see how well 4x RK1 nodes (each running an 8-core RK3588 SoC) will run on the Turing Pi 2 cluster.

I was having some trouble getting the test to run (I am using an ssh_user of ubuntu), then realized avahi-daemon isn't running on this install, so mDNS / .local discovery doesn't work (I was testing with DNS names like turing1.local, turing2.local, etc.

So I installed it on all four nodes: sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon

And now DNS resolution for .local hostnames on each of the cluster nodes is working. I'll add a note in the README.

Benchmark is running now. First test with 4/8 Ps and Qs: 228.94 Gflops

An explanation of the input/output parameters follows:
T/V    : Wall time / encoded variant.
N      : The order of the coefficient matrix A.
NB     : The partitioning blocking factor.
P      : The number of process rows.
Q      : The number of process columns.
Time   : Time in seconds to solve the linear system.
Gflops : Rate of execution for solving the linear system.

The following parameter values will be used:

N      :  100009
NB     :     256
PMAP   : Row-major process mapping

- The matrix A is randomly generated for each test.
- The following scaled residual check will be computed:
      ||Ax-b||_oo / ( eps * ( || x ||_oo * || A ||_oo + || b ||_oo ) * N )
- The relative machine precision (eps) is taken to be               1.110223e-16

With 1/32 Ps/Qs, the result is: 171.50 Gflops at 68W average, so 2.52 Gflops/W.

I think 4/8 is the most efficient layout on this cluster.
