I did some further investigation. The overhead persists for both the PETSc shared library and the static library. In the previous example, it does not call any PETSc function, the first CUDA function becomes very slow when it is linked to the petsc so. This
indicates that the slowdown occurs if the symbol (cudafree)is searched through the petsc so, but does not occur if the symbol is found directly in the cuda runtime lib.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So the issue has nothing to do with the dynamic linker. The following example can be used to easily reproduce the problem (cudaFree(0) always takes ~7.5 seconds). </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>1) This should go to OLCF admin as Jeff suggests</div><div><br></div><div>2) Just to make sure I understand, a static executable with this code is still slow on the cudaFree(), since CUDA is a shared library by default.</div><div><br></div><div>I think we should try:</div><div><br></div><div> a) Forcing a full static link, if possible</div><div><br></div><div> b) Asking OLCF about link resolution order</div><div><br></div><div>It sounds like a similar thing I have seen in the past where link resolution order can exponentially increase load time.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div>

Note that the overhead was triggered by the first call to a CUDA function. So it seems that the first CUDA function triggered loading petsc so (if petsc so is linked), which is slow on the summit file system.

ldd -o on the executable of both linkings of your code.<br>
<br>
My guess is that without PETSc it is linking the static version of the needed libraries and with PETSc the shared. And, in typical fashion, the shared libraries are off on some super slow file system so take a long time to be loaded and linked in on demand.<br>
<br>
Still a performance bug in Summit. <br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Previously I have noticed that the first call to a CUDA function such as cudaMalloc and cudaFree in PETSc takes a long time (7.5 seconds) on summit. Then I prepared a simple example as attached to help OCLF reproduce the problem. It turned out that the problem
was caused by PETSc. The 7.5-second overhead can be observed only when the PETSc lib is linked. If I do not link PETSc, it runs normally. Does anyone have any idea why this happens and how to fix it?<br>
