GTX 1080 Ti


GPU	GTX 1080 Ti
Transistor Count	12 billion
Nvidia Cores	3,584
FP32 (single precision) Teraflops	11.4

Memory Capacity	11GB
Power	250 Watt
Price	$700
Maximum GPU Temperature	91 (in C)

We have Enterprise Level Telsa K20 GPU compute nodes (graphical processing units). Four per node for a total of 20 K20s capable of roughly 23 total Teraflops (floating point, double precision). $100K in 2013.

We have received a donation for a special purpose research project and have acquired a 1U rack mounted compute node which will hold 4 GTX1080Ti GPUs (with 128 GB of CPU memory and two E5-2650v4 8 core chips). $8K in 2017

GTX 4-gpu node: About 44 FP32 and 1.5 FP64 teraflops in 1U. $8,200 in 2017.
K20 4-gpu node: About 14 FP32 and 4.7 FP64 teraflops in 2U. $20,000 in 2013.

We will disable Persistent and Exclusive Compute modes in our K20 GPU nodes, which Gromacs and Lammps tend to prefer. This new GTX GPU node will have these modes enabled as is suggested on the Amber web site. Amber, except for starting and finishing a computational job, does not use the CPU once the job is launched in the GPU. Gromacs and Lammps do.

The new GTX environment will be similar as our K20, scheduler wise. There will be a tiny queue amber128 with 24 cpu cores, 4 gpus and one node. New utilities are provided to interact with the GPUs and feed usage information to the scheduler.

Our mvapich2 wrapper will be cloned to mpich3 for this new server (posted in /usr/local/bin as to not confuse other nodes). It will still allow you to request up to 8 CPU cores per GPU resource for non-Amber jobs. For Amber jobs, the priority usage of this node for the next three years, you only need to request one CPU core for each GPU job (-n 1, gpu=1), see example script below. Amber can run across two GPUs with peer to peer support enabled but the wrapper does not support this currently. (Can only be done in physical pairs…GPU 0&2 and 1&3). We will see if we need that. This would be the case if your simulation needs between 11-22G of memory on GPU side.

Look at /usr/local/[Amber16_Benchmark_Suite|GPU_Validation_Test] on n78, lots of good amber stuff to browse there. Amber itself is installed /usr/local/amber16. Please note that the default pmemd.cuda[.MPI] points to SPFP, single precision floating point, as is/was the case in all our other HPC Amber installations. But DPFP (double precision) binary is available.

There is no BLCR kernel modules and X11 support is disabled in the GPUs. Video Mode is onboard, meaning users can not use the system interactively with VMD or other 3-D applications.

Operating system is CentOS7.4

/localscratch on n78 internal hard drive has 1.5T available.

# sample script, see bottom of page
# my test run, and I really do not know what I'm doing here,
# showed this GTX1080ti to be 4x faster than a K20 gpu
# a K20 runs this same test 10x faster than a CPU

We will also bring another 33T of storage online for the estimated content this new GPU server will generate in the next three years. Some users' home directories will be moved to this storage array with no quota policies. That will free up space in sharptail:/home so I'm again delaying enlarging this partition. Maybe over Christmas break if a “island power test” is scheduled and we need to shut down.

Server arrived Oct 12, 2017.

# design seems to yield one gpu much hotter than the 3 in the front of the server 
# (air flows bottom to top in picture), so we'll probably blow that one first 
# (max 91C or 196F, 83C is 181F). Infrared Thermometer shows 56-60C on that gpu pointed directly at it.

# note, from nvidia-smi --help-query-gpu
"temperature.gpu"
 Core GPU temperature. in degrees C.

From vendor "80-83C is good actually. In some warmer environments you would be seeing 85-87C which is still just fine for 24/7 operation anyway."

Surprise. The server came with 34“ rails but the server itself is 36” deep. That does not fit in my racks with the power distribution running vertical in the back of the rack. Oh well. Squeezed it in the very bottom 1U of a rack just clearing power cords.

Bench

Amber 16. Nucleosome bench runs 4.5x faster than on a K20
- Not sure it is representative of our work load
- Adding more MPI threads decreases performance
- Running across more gpus (2 or 4) decreases performance
- One Amber process per MPI thread per GPU is optimal

Wow, I just realized the most important metric: Our k20 has a job throughput of 20 per unit of time. The amber128 queue will have a throughput of 4*4.5 or 18 per same unit of time. One new server matches five old ones, well purchased in 2013. From an amber only perspective.

Lammps 11Aug17 runs about 11x faster than K20
- used the colloid example, not sure if that's a good example
- like gromacs, lots of room for improvements
- used the double-double binary,surprised at speed
  - single-double binary might run faster?

PPMA Bench

Runs fastest when constrined to one gpu with 4 mpi threads
Room for improvement as gpu and gpu memory are not fully utilized
Adding mpi threads or more gpus reduces ns/day performance
No idea if adding omp threads shows a different picture
No idea how it compares to K20 gpus
