Notes

Changes in this version from the one before include:

  • Updating build instructions and the io-500 hash

Pre-requisites

Build Paths

These instructions assume the following paths. For simplicity, you can set these variables to the actual locations where you have/want these installed.

...

Code Block
languagebash
MY_DAOS_INSTALL_PATH=${HOME}/install/daos
MY_IO500_PATH=${HOME}/io500

Clone and Build IO-500

Clone the IO-500 repo

Code Block
languagebash
git clone https://github.com/IO500/io500.git -b io500-isc24 "${MY_IO500_PATH}" &&
cd "${MY_IO500_PATH}"

Edit prepare.sh to:

  • Point to the new pfind branch

  • Build ior with DFS support

Run the prepare.sh script

Code Block
languagebash
${MY_IO500_PATH}/prepare.sh


Run IO-500

Setup the config file

A sample config-full.ini file for reference: https://github.com/mchaarawi/io500/blob/main/config-full-isc22.ini

...

For [find] the nprocs setting under that should be the same or less than the number of processes you want to run with the entire workflow (in io500.sh).

Create DAOS pool, container with type POSIX

For documentation on creating pools, see https://docs.daos.io/latest/admin/pool_operations/.

...

Code Block
languagebash
dmg pool create -z 100G --label io500_pool
daos container create --type POSIX --pool io500_pool --label=io500_cont

Set the pool and cont environment variables

Code Block
languagebash
export DAOS_POOL=io500_pool
export DAOS_CONT=io500_cont

...

https://docs.daos.io/v2.0/user/mpi-io/?h=intel+mpi#intel-mpi

Substitute variables in the config file

This will replace $DAOS_POOL, $DAOS_CONT with their actual values.

Code Block
languagebash
envsubst < config-full-isc22.ini > temp.ini

Run the io500 in one of two ways:

  • Run the binary directly with or without the extended mode:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    mpirun -np 16 --hostfile ~/config/cli_hosts ./io500 temp.ini
    mpirun -np 16 --hostfile ~/config/cli_hosts ./io500 temp.ini --mode=extended

    The extended mode is not required for an official submission and will extend your runtime significantly. After the run completes, you will need to tar up the result dir for that run.

    Note that some versions of OpenMPI require setting the environment variables on the mpirun command line, so one needs to add the environment variables that are mentioned above on the mpirun command line with the following format:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    mpirun -np 16 -x env1=value1 -x env2=value2 --hostfile ~/config/cli_hosts ./io500 temp.ini
  • Run the io-500.sh script:

    • This requires mounting dfuse on the launch node only (not all the compute nodes):

      Code Block
      languagebash
      mkdir /tmp/dfuse
      dfuse --pool=$DAOS_POOL --container=$DAOS_CONT -m /tmp/dfuse/

      Then, edit the io500.sh launch script with the mpirun command and change the local workdir, to add the dfuse prefix

      Code Block
      languagebash
      diff --git a/io500.sh b/io500.sh

        io500_mpiargs="-np 16 -x env1=value1 -x env2=value2 --hostfile ~/config/cli_hosts
    • Then run the io500.sh script which will tar the results for you at the end and place them in the result directory you specified in the ini file:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      ./io500.sh temp.ini

      Lastly umount dfuse on the launch node:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      fusermount3 -u /tmp/dfuse/


Results

The tarball generated at the end (whether ran the binary or with the script) with the results can be submitted to the io500 committee for consideration.
