I am trying to learn xeon phi programming.
I am running this code on cpu and I am using offload pragmas for the pieces I want to run on the coprocessors.
Since I am compiling on cpu and I use offloads , I am using :
export MIC_ENV_PREFIX=MIC
export MIC_OMP_NUM_THREADS=120
in order to specify the threads number.
My problems:
1) Running the code , shows always 40 threads been used.
2) Running again and again the code without compiling , I am getting different time results.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <omp.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <cilk/cilk.h>
#include <cilk/reducer_opadd.h>
typedef CILK_C_DECLARE_REDUCER(float) reducer;
double dtime()
{
double tseconds = 0.0;
struct timeval mytime;
gettimeofday(&mytime,(struct timezone*)0);
tseconds = (double)(mytime.tv_sec + mytime.tv_usec*1.0e-6);
return( tseconds * 1000 );
}
float openMPIntegration(
int N,
float * const ioA )
{
float res = 0;
#if DOFFLOAD
#pragma offload target (mic)
{
#endif
#pragma omp parallel for reduction(+:res)
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++ )
{
res += ioA[ i ];
}
#if DOFFLOAD
}
#endif
return res;
}
float CilkIntegration(
int N ,
float * const ioA )
{
float res = 0;
#if DOFFLOAD
#pragma offload target (mic)
{
#endif
CILK_C_REDUCER_OPADD( sum, float , 0);
CILK_C_REGISTER_REDUCER(sum);
cilk_for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++ )
{
REDUCER_VIEW(sum) += ioA[ i ];
}
res = sum.value;
CILK_C_UNREGISTER_REDUCER(sum);
#if DOFFLOAD
}
#endif
return res;
}
int main()
{
int NbOfThreads;
double tstart, tstop, ttime;
int N = 1000000;
float * A = (float*) _mm_malloc( N * sizeof(*A) , 32 );
//fill A
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++ )
A[ i ] = i;
#if DOFFLOAD
#pragma offload target (mic)
#endif
#pragma omp parallel
#pragma omp master
NbOfThreads = omp_get_num_threads();
printf("\nUsing %d threads\r\n",NbOfThreads);
tstart = dtime();
float openMPRes = openMPIntegration( N , A );
tstop = dtime();
ttime = tstop - tstart;
printf("\nopenMP integration = %10.3lf msecs \t value = %10.3f", ttime ,openMPRes);
tstart = dtime();
float CilkRes = CilkIntegration( N , A );
tstop = dtime();
ttime = tstop - tstart;
printf("\nCilk integration = %10.3lf msecs \t value = %10.3f", ttime,CilkRes);
printf("\n");
_mm_free( A );
return 0;
}
I am compiling:
icc -std=c99 -DOFFLOAD -openmp -qopt-report -O3 xeon.c -o xeon
This isn't strictly an OpenMP question, as it involves a disrecommended combination of disparate parallel run-time models, and I think you aren't using the openmp standardized offload syntax. The short answer is that no implementation recommends combining OpenMP and cilkplus parallel run-time models. The next step beyond that is that typical OpenMP models, by default, block availability of hardware thread context to a threading model outside OpenMP for a time, typically defaulting to 0.200 seconds. It would seem stylistically more consistent to use omp reduction rather than cilkplus reducers, but in present implementations that may not be a show stopping decision. I would guess that you might be using the Intel offload model so as to have both openmp standard and non-standard offload syntax available.
