allgebra

Docker images for developing C++ and Fortran HPC programs

Naming rule of tags

Following image tags are pushed from private GitLab CI to public GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io):

{year}.{month}.{patch} formatted tags, e.g. 20.10.0
- Be sure that it is not a semantic versioning. Every release can be a breaking change. You should use containers with a fixed tag.
- See CHANGELOG for detail about changes
latest
- Corresponds to latest branch. DO NOT USE unless you are watching all changes in the latest branch.

Images

Named in allgebra/{GPU}/{Compiler}/{Math} format:

Image name	CUDA	Compiler	Math
ghcr.io/ricosjp/allgebra/cuda11_7/clang14/mkl	11.7	clang 14, gcc 11, nvcc 11.7	Intel MKL
ghcr.io/ricosjp/allgebra/cuda11_7/clang14/oss	11.7	clang 14, gcc 11, nvcc 11.7	OpenBLAS
ghcr.io/ricosjp/allgebra/cuda11_7/gcc11/mkl	11.7	gcc 11, nvcc 11.7	Intel MKL
ghcr.io/ricosjp/allgebra/cuda11_7/gcc11/oss	11.7	gcc 11, nvcc 11.7	OpenBLAS

In addition, there are support tools in each containers.

OpenMP Offloading, OpenACC examples

The OSS compilers in allgebra containers (gcc, gfortran and clang) are compiled with OpenMP and OpenACC supports. There are several examples in this repository, and they are also copied into the above containers.

Compiler	OpenMP Offloading	OpenACC
clang/libomp	clang_omp_offloading	-
gcc/libgomp	gcc_omp_offloading	gcc_openacc
gfortran/libgomp	gfortran_omp_offloading	gfortran_openacc

The requirements of these examples are following:

Use Linux
- If you'd like to use WSL2, see Use allgebra on WSL
Install Docker
Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit

You can build and run e.g. the clang with OpenMP Offloading example as following:

$ docker run --rm -it --gpus=all ghcr.io/ricosjp/allgebra/cuda10_1/clang12/oss:21.06.0
root@41b65ab23aaf:/# cd /examples/clang_omp_offloading
root@41b65ab23aaf:/examples/clang_omp_offloading# make test
clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 -Xopenmp-target -march=sm_70 -O3 -std=c++11 -lm omp_offloading.cpp -o omp_offloading.out
clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 -Xopenmp-target -march=sm_70 -O3 -std=c++11 -lm omp_offloading_cublas.cpp -o omp_offloading_cublas.out -lcuda -lcublas -lcudart
clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 -Xopenmp-target -march=sm_70 -O3 -std=c++11 -lm omp_offloading_math.cpp -o omp_offloading_math.out
./omp_offloading.out 1000000
dot = 2e+06
Pass!
./omp_offloading_cublas.out 1000000
dot = 2e+06
Pass!
./omp_offloading_math.out 1000000
ret = 909297
Pass!

allgebra_get_device_cc command is contained in the allgebra containers, and it detects the [compute capability](compute capability) of your GPU using CUDA API. On a system with NVIDIA TITAN V (compute capability 7.0), for example, it returns 70:

root@3f6b34672c01:/# allgebra_get_device_cc
70

This output is used to generate the flag -Xopenmp-target -march=sm_70 in above example.

With Singularity

Singularity is a container runtime focused on HPC and AI. Since singularity supports Docker and OCI container images, allgebra containers can be used as it is.

singularity run --nv docker://ghcr.io/ricosjp/allgebra/cuda10_1/clang12/mkl:latest

--nv is an option for using NVIDIA GPU in the container. See the official document for detail.

You can build a SIF (Singularity Image Format) file from an allgebra container:

singularity build allgebra_clang_mkl.sif docker://ghcr.io/ricosjp/allgebra/cuda10_1/clang12/mkl:latest

and run it:

singularity run --nv allgebra_clang_mkl.sif

--nv option is required for singularity run and not for singularity build since singularity build only download the container and converts it.

Be sure that this allgebra_clang_mkl.sif contains CUDA and MKL binaries. You have to accept the End User License Agreement of CUDA, and follow the Intel Simplified Software License.

`ALLGEBRA_*` environment variables

In order to identify the CUDA and LLVM versions in container, following environment variables are defined:

name	example	description
ALLGEBRA_CUDA_INSTALL_DIR	/usr/local/cuda-11.4	The top directory where CUDA is installed
ALLGEBRA_CUDA_VERSION	11.4	Installed CUDA version
ALLGEBRA_CUDA_VERSION_MAJOR	11	The major version of CUDA
ALLGEBRA_CUDA_VERSION_MINOR	4	The minor version of CUDA
ALLGEBRA_CUDA_VERSION_PATCH	1	The patch version of CUDA
ALLGEBRA_LLVM_INSTALL_DIR	/usr/local/llvm-12.0.1	The top directory where LLVM is installed
ALLGEBRA_LLVM_VERSION	12.0.1	Installed LLVM version
ALLGEBRA_LLVM_VERSION_MAJOR	12	The major version of LLVM
ALLGEBRA_LLVM_VERSION_MINOR	0	The minor version of LLVM
ALLGEBRA_LLVM_VERSION_PATCH	1	The patch version of LLVM
