[petsc-users] hypre on gpus

Fri Oct 8 11:19:38 CDT 2021

I tried a different exercise ran the same problem on two cpu cores and on two gpu:

On gpu

PCApply                6 1.0 6.0335e+00 1.0 0.00e+00 0.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 6.0e+00 15  0  0  0  1  15  0  0  0  1     0       0      0 0.00e+00    5 9.65e+01  0

and on cpu

PCApply                6 1.0 5.6348e+00 1.0 0.00e+00 0.0 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 0.0e+00 16  0  0  0  0  16  0  0  0  0     0

timings again are close but gpu version did a reduction 6.0e+00 but the cpu version did not 0.0e+00.
I am not sure if that is any indication if hypre ran on gpus?

Thanks,
Karthik.

You don't have GPUs. probably.
Use -dm_mat_type hypre.

are close. It is hard for me tell if hypre on gpu is on or not.

Best,
Karthik.

Thanks Mark, I will try your recommendations.
Should I also change -dm_vec_type to hypre currently I have it as mpicuda?

Hypre does not record its flops with PETSc's timers.
Configure with and without CUDA and see if the timings change in PCApply.
Hypre does not dynamically switch between CUDA and CPU solves at this time, but you want to use -dm_mat_type hypre.

Hello,

I am trying to run ex45 (in KSP tutorial) using hypre on gpus. I have attached the python configuration file and -log_view output from running the below command options

mpirun -n 2 ./ex45 -log_view -da_grid_x 169 -da_grid_y 169 -da_grid_z 169  -dm_mat_type mpiaijcusparse -dm_vec_type mpicuda -ksp_type gmres -pc_type hypre -pc_hypre_type  boomeramg -ksp_gmres_restart 31 -pc_hypre_boomeramg_strong_threshold 0.7  -ksp_monitor

The problem was solved and converged but from the output file I suspect hypre is not running on gpus as PCApply and DMCreate does not record any gpu Mflop/s. However, some events such KSPSolve, MatMult etc are running on gpus.

Can you please let me know if I need to add any extra flag to the attached arch-ci-linux-cuda11-double-xx.py script file to get hypre working on gpus?

Thanks,
Karthik.
