464<p>The lattice Boltzmann (LBM) benchmark kernels are a collection of LBM kernel
465implementations.</p>
466<p><strong>AS SUCH THE LBM BENCHMARK KERNELS ARE NO FULLY EQUIPPED CFD SOLVER AND SOLELY
467SERVES THE PURPOSE OF STUDYING POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS AND/OR
468EXPERIMENTS.</strong></p>
469<p>Currently all kernels utilize a D3Q19 discretization and the
470two-relaxation-time (TRT) collision operator <a class="citation-reference" href="#ginzburg-2008" id="id1">[ginzburg-2008]</a>.
0fde6e45 471All operations are carried out in double or single precision arithmetic.</p>

475<p>The benchmark framework currently supports only Linux systems and the GCC and
476Intel compilers. Every other configuration probably requires adjustment inside
0095f461 477the code and the makefiles. Furthermore some code might be platform or at least
ecf590ae
MW
478POSIX specific.</p>
479<p>The benchmark can be build via <tt class="docutils literal">make</tt> from the <tt class="docutils literal">src</tt> subdirectory. This will
480generate one binary which hosts all implemented benchmark kernels.</p>
481<p>Binaries are located under the <tt class="docutils literal">bin</tt> subdirectory and will have different names
482depending on compiler and build configuration.</p>
0095f461

483<p>Compilation can target debug or release builds. Combined with both build types
484verification can be enabled, which increases the runtime and hence is not
485suited for benchmarking.</p>

733<p>The following list shortly describes available kernels:</p>
734<ul class="simple">
0fde6e45 735<li><strong>push-soa/push-aos/pull-soa/pull-aos</strong>:
e3f82424
MW
736Unoptimized kernels (but stream/collide are already fused) using two grids as
737source and destination. Implement push/pull semantics as well structure of
738arrays (soa) or array of structures (aos) layout.</li>
0fde6e45 739<li><strong>blk-push-soa/blk-push-aos/blk-pull-soa/blk-pull-aos</strong>:
e3f82424
MW
740The same as the unoptimized kernels without the blk prefix, except that they support
741spatial blocking, i.e. loop blocking of the three loops used to iterate over
742the lattice. Here manual work sharing for OpenMP is used.</li>
0fde6e45
MW
743<li><strong>aa-aos/aa-soa</strong>:
744Straight forward implementation of AA pattern on full array with blocking support.
745Manual work sharing for OpenMP is used. Domain is partitioned only along the x dimension.</li>
746<li><strong>aa-vec-soa/aa-vec-sl-soa</strong>:
747Optimized AA kernel with intrinsics on full array. aa-vec-sl-soa uses only
748one loop for iterating over the lattice instead of three nested ones.</li>
749<li><strong>list-push-soa/list-push-aos/list-pull-soa/list-pull-aos</strong>:
e3f82424
MW
750The same as the unoptimized kernels without the list prefix, but for indirect addressing.
751Here only a 1D vector of is used to store the fluid nodes, omitting the
752obstacles. An adjacency list is used to recover the neighborhood associations.</li>
0fde6e45 753<li><strong>list-pull-split-nt-1s-soa/list-pull-split-nt-2s-soa</strong>:
e3f82424
MW
754Optimized variant of list-pull-soa. Chunks of the lattice are processed as
755once. Postcollision values are written back via nontemporal stores in 18 (1s)
756or 9 (2s) loops.</li>
0fde6e45 757<li><strong>list-aa-aos/list-aa-soa</strong>:
e3f82424
MW
758Unoptimized implementation of the AA pattern for the 1D vector with adjacency
759list. Supported are array of structures (aos) and structure of arrays (soa)
760data layout is supported.</li>
0fde6e45 761<li><strong>list-aa-ria-soa</strong>:
e3f82424
MW
762Implementation of AA pattern with intrinsics for the 1D vector with adjacency
763list. Furthermore it contains a vectorized even time step and run length
764coding to reduce the loop balance of the odd time step.</li>
0fde6e45 765<li><strong>list-aa-pv-soa</strong>:
e3f82424
MW
766All optimizations of list-aa-ria-soa. Additional with partial vectorization
767of the odd time step.</li>
768</ul>
769<p>Note that all array of structures (aos) kernels might require blocking
770(depending on the domain size) to reach the performance of their structure of
771arrays (soa) counter parts.</p>
772<p>The following table summarizes the properties of the kernels. Here <strong>D</strong> means
773direct addressing, i.e. full array, <strong>I</strong> means indirect addressing, i.e. 1D
774vector with adjacency list, <strong>x</strong> means supported, whereas <strong>--</strong> means unsupported.
0fde6e45 775The loop balance B_l is computed for D3Q19 model with <strong>double precision</strong> floating
e3f82424
MW
776point for PDFs (8 byte) and 4 byte integers for the index (adjacency list).
777As list-aa-ria-soa and list-aa-pv-soa support run length coding their effective
778loop balance depends on the geometry. The effective loop balance is printed
779during each run.</p>

1045replaced with larger ones. This is in general a good thing, but if this is

1046really the case, depends on the system settings (check e.g. the status of
1047<tt class="docutils literal">/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled</tt>).
1048Currently <tt class="docutils literal">madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE)</tt> is used for allocations which are aligned to
1049a 4 KiB page, which should be the case for the lattices.
1050This should result in huge pages except THP is disabled on the machine.
1051(NOTE: madvise() is used if <tt class="docutils literal">HAVE_HUGE_PAGES</tt> is defined, which is currently
1052hard coded defined in <tt class="docutils literal">Memory.c</tt>).</li>
ecf590ae
MW
1053<li>CPU/core frequency: For reproducible results the frequency of all cores
1054should be fixed.</li>
1055<li>NUMA placement policy: The benchmark assumes a first touch policy, which
1056means the memory will be placed at the NUMA domain the touching core is
1057associated with. If a different policy is in place or the NUMA domain to be
1058used is already full memory might be allocated in a remote domain. Accesses
1059to remote domains typically have a higher latency and lower bandwidth.</li>
0095f461 1060<li>System load: interference with other application, especially on desktop
ecf590ae 1061systems should be avoided.</li>
e3f82424
MW
1062<li>Padding: For SoA based kernels the number of (fluid) nodes is automatically
1063adjusted so that no cache or TLB thrashing should occur. The parameters are
1064optimized for current Intel based systems. For more details look into the
1065padding section.</li>

1066<li>CPU dispatcher function: the compiler might add different versions of a
1067function for different ISA extensions. Make sure the code you might think is

e3f82424
MW
1073<p>With correct padding cache and TLB thrashing can be avoided. Therefore the
1074number of (fluid) nodes used in the data layout is artificially increased.</p>
1075<p>Currently automatic padding is active for kernels which support it. It can be
1076controlled via the kernel parameter (i.e. parameter after the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--</span></tt>)
1077<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-pad</span></tt>. Supported values are <tt class="docutils literal">auto</tt> (default), <tt class="docutils literal">no</tt> (to disable padding),
1078or a manual padding.</p>
1079<p>Automatic padding tries to avoid cache and TLB thrashing and pads for a 32
1080entry (huge pages) TLB with 8 sets and a 512 set (L2) cache. This reflects the
1081parameters of current Intel based processors.</p>
1082<p>Manual padding is done via a padding string and has the format
1083<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mod_1+offset_1(,mod_n+offset_n)</span></tt>, which specifies numbers of bytes.
1084SoA data layouts can exhibit TLB thrashing. Therefore we want to distribute the
108519 pages with one lattice (36 with two lattices) we are concurrently accessing
1086over as much sets in the TLB as possible.
1087This is controlled by the distance between the accessed pages, which is the
1088number of (fluid) nodes in between them and can be adjusted by adding further
1089(fluid) nodes.
1090We want the distance d (in bytes) between two accessed pages to be e.g.
1091<strong>d % (PAGE_SIZE * TLB_SETS) = PAGE_SIZE</strong>.
1092This would distribute the pages evenly over the sets. Hereby <strong>PAGE_SIZE * TLB_SETS</strong>
1093would be our <tt class="docutils literal">mod_1</tt> and <strong>PAGE_SIZE</strong> (after the =) our <tt class="docutils literal">offset_1</tt>.
1094Measurements show that with only a quarter of half of a page size as offset
1095higher performance is achieved, which is done by automatic padding.
1096On top of this padding more paddings can be added. They are just added to the
1097padding string and are separated by commas.</p>
1098<p>A zero modulus in the padding string has a special meaning. Here the
1099corresponding offset is just added to the number of nodes. A padding string
1100like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-pad</span> 0+16</tt> would at a static padding of two nodes (one node = 8 b).</p>
