OpenMP xsmm, kernel mul has no providers

mlohry · 7 December 2021 20:01

Similar to one of the issues described here, running PyFR-1.12.3 release tag:

When attempting to run with the OpenMP backend I’m hitting the same “KeyError: ‘Kernel “mul” has no providers’”. I have set the specified environment variable:

bash-4.4$ echo $PYFR_XSMM_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/mlohry/dev/libxsmm/lib/libxsmm.so

where libxsmm was compiled from the latest update. I’ve also specified cblas in the ini file to a system libmkl_rt.so (is this a necessary step?)

The setup works when running gimmik with nnz large.

Thanks,
Mark

Can you put a print statement around:

github.com

PyFR/PyFR/blob/5cbaabe06e936644f9093508cd3e4e543db629b8/pyfr/backends/base/backend.py#L165

    
      
              return self.xchg_view_cls(self, matmap, rmap, cmap, rstridemap,
                                        vshape, tags)
          
          
def kernel(self, name, *args, **kwargs):
              for prov in self._providers:
                  kern = getattr(prov, name, None)
                  if kern:
                      try:
                          return kern(*args, **kwargs)
                      except NotSuitableError:
                          pass
              else:
                  raise KeyError(f'Kernel "{name}" has no providers')
          
          
def queue(self):
              return self.queue_cls(self)
          
          
def runall(self, sequence):
              self.queue_cls.runall(sequence)

to catch exactly why xsmm is unwilling to handle the multiplication (it really should not fail); except NotSuitableError as e: print(e) should do it.

Regards, Freddie.

Hi Freddie, output below. Also confirmed that os.environ see the variable

This seems to imply that libxsmm is not loaded. Can you put a print statement around:

github.com

PyFR/PyFR/blob/5cbaabe06e936644f9093508cd3e4e543db629b8/pyfr/backends/openmp/base.py#L49

    
      
              # Instantiate mandatory kernel provider classes
              kprovcls = [provider.OpenMPPointwiseKernelProvider,
                          blasext.OpenMPBlasExtKernels,
                          packing.OpenMPPackingKernels]
              self._providers = [k(self) for k in kprovcls]
          
          
    # Instantiate optional kernel provider classes
              try:
                  self._providers.append(xsmm.OpenMPXSMMKernels(self))
              except OSError:
                  pass
          
          
    self._providers.append(gimmik.OpenMPGiMMiKKernels(self))
          
          
    # Pointwise kernels
              self.pointwise = self._providers[0]
          
          
def _malloc_impl(self, nbytes):
              data = np.zeros(nbytes + self.alignb, dtype=np.uint8)
              offset = -data.ctypes.data % self.alignb

which will allow us to see precisely why it is failing to load. Can you also confirm how libxsmm was built?

Regards, Freddie.

Ahha! So that gave:

/home/mlohry/dev/libxsmm/lib/libxsmm.so: undefined symbol: sgemv_

And sure enough it’s undefined:

readelf -Ws --dyn-syms ./lib/libxsmm.so | grep gemv
    14: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND sgemv_

   544: 000000000039da40     8 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   25 libxsmm_original_dgemv_function

but it’s present in libxsmmext.so, not libxsmm.so. Their github mentions all OpenMP functionality goes into the former and not the latter, so maybe that’s the explanation?

Setting PYFR_XSMM_LIBRARY_PATH to libxsmmext.so seems to have cleared it up.

Thanks Freddie!

fdw · 9 December 2021 16:29

As noted in the build guide it is important to compile libxsmm as:

make STATIC=0 BLAS=0 CODE_BUF_MAXSIZE=262144

with BLAS=0 ensuring that it will not try to import any BLAS symbols.

Regards, Freddie.

Ahha, so it is! Sorry about that, thanks for the help. Looks like all is working.

Hi,

I am also using PyFR on another cpu cluster for small simulations. I have installed PyFR 1.13 with libxsmm as indicated in the user guide. But exactly kernel nul has no providers error ocurred.

I tried to print out its origin so I print out this line:

github.com

PyFR/PyFR/blob/5cbaabe06e936644f9093508cd3e4e543db629b8/pyfr/backends/base/backend.py#:~:text=except NotSuitableError:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from collections import defaultdict
from functools import wraps
from itertools import count

from weakref import WeakKeyDictionary, WeakValueDictionary

import numpy as np

from pyfr.backends.base.kernels import NotSuitableError
from pyfr.template import DottedTemplateLookup
from pyfr.util import lazyprop


def recordmat(fn):
    @wraps(fn)
    def newfn(self, *args, **kwargs):
        m = fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
        m.mid = next(self._mat_counter)

This file has been truncated. show original

and what I get is:

libxssm unable to JIT a kernel
Traceback (most recent call last):
........
  File "/cfs/klemming/home/z/zhenyang/.conda/envs/pyfr_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyfr-1.13.0-py3.9.egg/pyfr/backends/base/backend.py", line 162, in kernel
KeyError: 'Kernel "mul" has no providers'

And I think it is from here

github.com

PyFR/PyFR/blob/ddab8b0a3ff57fc62c6506942282c0e378c2c5b2/pyfr/backends/openmp/xsmm.py#:~:text=raise NotSuitableError('libxssm unable to JIT a kernel')

    _libname = 'xsmm'

    # Functions
    _functions = [
        (None, 'libxsmm_init'),
        (None, 'libxsmm_finalize'),

         c_int, c_int, c_double, c_double, c_int, c_void_p),

But indeed I don’t know what does this mean. Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

Best wishes,
Zhenyang

fdw · 13 April 2022 12:19

Can you confirm you are using the latest master revision of libxsmm. Some series bugs have been fixed recently.

Regards, Freddie.

Zhenyang · 13 April 2022 12:46

I tried latest master branch and commit 14b6cea61376653b2712e3eefa72b13c5e76e421 and also the latest release version. All gave me the same error.

I am running the example case inc_cylinder_2d serial.

Best wishes,
Zhenyang

fdw · 13 April 2022 13:18

PyFR v1.13 with the latest libxsmm:

Hi Freddie,

I just delated everything and recreated environment and re-compiled the library and the code. Suddenly everything worked. I don’t know what was the problem but for now, it is working. Thanks again for your kindly help!

Best wishes,
Zhenyang
