Progress

  • February 10, 2017 - Completed Phase 1 (Select and Assess)
  • March 20, 2017 - Added instructions to compile and execute Maze in Visual Studio
  • April 4, 2017 - Updated Phase 2 and 3

PHASE 1

Pi

This is a comparison between two programs that calculate Pi.

  • Test System Specifications
OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)
CPU: Intel Core i3-2350M @ 2.30GHz
GPU: GeForce GT 520MX (48 CUDA cores)

IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015; Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3
  • How To Execute On Linux?

1. Here is the Makefile:

# Change this to "monte-carlo" if needed
VER = leibniz
# Uncomment and modify the following lines to specify a specific version of GCC
#GCC_VERSION = 5.2.0
#PREFIX = /usr/local/gcc/${GCC_VERSION}/bin/
CC = ${PREFIX}gcc
CPP = ${PREFIX}g++

$(VER): $(VER).o ; \
$(CPP) -g -pg -o$(VER) $(VER).o

$(VER).o: $(VER).cpp ; \
$(CPP) -c -O2 -g -pg -std=c++14 $(VER).cpp

# Remember to ">make clean" after ">make" to cleanup if the cleaning does not happen automatically
clean: ; \
rm *\.o

2. Copy leibniz.cpp and/or monte-carlo.cpp and put them into the same directory as the Makefile.

3. Execute the following command (in the same directory as the Makefile):

> make

4. Execute the binary with:

> ./leibniz [ n ]

OR

> ./monte-carlo [ n ]

Where n is the number of iterations.


Leibniz formula implementation:

leibniz.cpp

00 #include <iostream>
01 #include <iomanip>
02 #include <string>
03 
04 #include <chrono>
05
06 // Function duplicated from Workshop 2 - BLAS
07 void reportTime(const char* msg, std::chrono::steady_clock::duration span) {
08     auto ms = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(span);
09     std::cout << msg << " - took - " 
10     << ms.count() << " millisecs" << std::endl;
11 }
12 
13 // Arctangent of 1; execute for ~n iterations to refine the result
14 long double arctan1( unsigned long long int it ) { 
15     long double r = 0.0; // 1 op. (=) runs 1 time
16 
17     // v0.25; due to performing the operations in a different order, there are rounding issues...
18     for ( long double d = 0.0; d < it; d++ ) { // 1 op. (=) runs 1 time; 2 op.s (<, ++) run n times
19         long double de = d * 4.0 + 1.0; // 3 op.s (=, *, +) run n times
20         r += (1.0 / de) - (1.0 / (de + 2.0)); // 6 op.s (+ & =, /, -, /, +) run n times
21     }   
22 
23     return r; // 1 op. (return) runs 1 time
24 }
25 
26 int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) {
27     unsigned long long int n = std::stoull(argv[1], 0); 
28 
29     std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point ts, te; 
30     ts = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
31     long double pi = 4.0 * arctan1( n );
32     te = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
33     reportTime("Arctangent(1) ", te - ts);
34 
35     // Maximum length of a long double is 64 digits; minus "3." gives 62 digits.
36     std::cout.precision(62);
37     std::cout << "Pi: " << std::fixed << pi << std::endl;
40 }
  • STAGE 1 - Big-O:

There is only one for loop in this program (on line 18); it executes d times, where d is the first argument provided to the program on the command line. Summing up the operations in the (predicted) hotspot, T(n) = 11n + 3; therefore O(n) runtime.

  • STAGE 2 - Potential Speedup

Using Amdahl's Law:

P = 1708ms / 1725ms (using the third test data from below...)
P = 0.99014

n = 48 (processors reported by deviceQuery.exe)

Sn = 1 / ( 1 - P + P / n )
S48 = 1 / ( 1 - 0.99014 + 0.99014 / 48 )
S48 = 32.79988

The maximum speedup on the test system is approximately 33 times.

  • STAGE 3 - Test Runs

The following tests were done on the Matrix server:

4 digits are correct at 10K iterations:

> time ./leibniz 10000
Arctangent(1)  - took - 0 millisecs
Pi: 3.14154265358982449354505184224706226814305409789085388183593750

real 	0m0.016s
user	0m0.004s

7 digits are correct at 10M iterations:

> time ./leibniz 10000000
Arctangent(1)  - took - 171 millisecs
Pi: 3.14159260358979321929411010483335076060029678046703338623046875

real	0m0.187s
user	0m0.172s
sys	0m0.012s

No difference at 100M iterations:

> time ./leibniz 100000000
Arctangent(1)  - took - 1708 millisecs
Pi: 3.14159264858979533105269588144636827564681880176067352294921875

real	0m1.725s
user	0m1.704s
sys	0m0.008s

The following tests were done on the test system; these results will be used for the comparison between the serial and parallel versions.

n = 10,000

Arctangent(1)  - took - 0 millisecs
Pi: 3.14154265358982032196877298702020198106765747070312500000000000

04 #include <chrono>
05 
06 // Duplicated from Workshop 2 - BLAS
07 void reportTime(const char* msg, std::chrono::steady_clock::duration span) {
08     auto ms = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(span);
09     std::cout << msg << " - took - " <<
10     ms.count() << " millisecs" << std::endl;
11 }

13 int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

16     ts = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
17     unsigned long long int n = std::stoull(argv[1], 0),
18                            totalCircle = 0;
19 
20     int stride = 1000,
21         circleSize = n / stride;
22 
23     unsigned int* circle = new unsigned int[circleSize];

33 
34     ts = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
35     for (unsigned long long int i = 0; i < circleSize; i++) {
36         for (int j = 0; j < stride; j++) {
37             long double x = dist(mt),
38                         y = dist(mt);
39             // if position is inside the circle...
40             if (x * x + y * y < 1.0) {
41                 circle[i]++;
42             }
43         }
44     }
45 
46     for (int i = 0; i < circleSize; i++)
47         totalCircle += circle[i];
48 
49     long double pi = 4.0 * ((long double) totalCircle) / ((long double) n);
50     te = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
51     reportTime("Drop points ", te - ts);
52 
53     std::cout.precision(62);
54     std::cout << "Pi: " << std::fixed << pi << std::endl;
55 
56     delete [] circle;
57 }
  • STAGE 1 - Big-O:

The (predicted) hotspot begins from line 35 and ends at line 44. Although there are two for loops, the outer for loop executes n / stride times while the inner for loop executes stride times; the actual iteration is just n ( O(n) runtime ).

  • STAGE 2 - Potential Speedup:

Using Amdahl's Law:

P = 10883ms / 10903ms (using the last sample of the third test data from below...)
P = 0.99817

n = 48 (processors reported by deviceQuery.exe)

Sn = 1 / ( 1 - P + P / n )
S48 = 1 / ( 1 - 0.99817 + 0.99817 / 48 )
S48 = 44.19015

The maximum speedup on the test system is approximately 44 times.

  • STAGE 3 - Test Runs

The following tests were done on the Matrix server:

Summary

Both programs calculate finite results of Pi, however the Leibniz implementation has higher accuracy and calculates more digits per iteration. Since both algorithms have O(n) runtime, the Leibniz implementation is also superior in terms of speed.

With regards to the hotspots, both programs contain one area that holds over 99% of their total execution time; these areas will be the focus for parallelization. The programs were revised to remove all data dependencies, thus there should be no conflicts between threads when the parallel codes are applied.

Testing Environment:

  • Operating system: Linux
  • Compiler: g++ 5.2.0
  • Processor: Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8220
  • System memory: 3098088 kB

How to setup:

1. Download source file: https://github.com/corzani/maze

2. Create “Makefile” file:

# Makefile for GPU610/assigment1/maze
#

GCC_VERSION = 5.2.0
PREFIX = /usr/local/gcc/${GCC_VERSION}/bin/
CC = ${PREFIX}gcc
CPP = ${PREFIX}g++
OBJS = Maze.o MazeDebug.o MazePng.o main.o
SOURCE = Maze.cpp MazeDebug.cpp MazePng.cpp main.cpp
LIBS = -lpng
TARGET = maze

$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
        $(CPP) -pg -o$(TARGET) $(OBJS) $(LIBS)

$(OBJS): $(SOURCE)
        $(CPP) -c -O2 -g -pg -std=c++14 $(SOURCE)
#all: $(TARGET)

clean:
        rm *.o

3. Complile and run:

> make
> maze <maze x axes> <maze y axes>

Example:

> maze 5000 5000

Update (03.20.2017) - How to setup in Visual Studio 2015

1. Download source files from https://github.com/corzani/maze

2. Create a new Visual Studio project

3. Copy all header and cpp files from the downloaded maze directory to the project directory (not the solution directory)

4. In VS, right click on the project in the Solution explorer and Add -> Existing Item; pick the copied files from the previous step

5. In VS, go to menu Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console; in the new console (at the bottom of the screen in default configuration), execute:

PM> Install-Package libpng

6. In VS, Open MazePng.cpp, remove the following line:

#include <unistd.h>

7. In VS, change the Configuration from Debug to Release and Platform from x86 to x64

8. In VS, go to menu Build -> Build Solution

Analysis:

The program function named toPng() takes up an average of 42% (min: 35%; max: 50%) of the execution time. The reason for toPng() to take so much runtime is because of the for loop that building the walls of the maze.

for (int i = 0; i < height; ++i) {
    row_pointers[i] = new png_byte[width * 3];
    for (int j = 0; j < width * 3; j += 3) {
        row_pointers[i][j] = WALL;
        row_pointers[i][j + 1] = WALL;
        row_pointers[i][j + 2] = WALL;
    }
}

The function also has a runtime of O(n^2).

Analysis

This is a simple c++ program for finding any prime number within range. The program function primeFinder () is the only function in the program so it takes up to nearly 100% of the execution time. Moreover, primeFinder() has a runtime of O(n^2).

primeFinder() function:

void primeFinder(int num, int bn) {

     for (int i=2; i<num; i++)
        for (int j=2; j*j<=i; j++)
        {
            if (i % j == 0)
                break;
            else if (j+1 > sqrt(i)) {
                if(bn == 1)
                    cout << i << endl;
            }
        }
}



Recommendation

Maze.

Although Pi may have more potential, its calculated results are too limited. On the other hand, Maze has a higher limit which will enable us to do better testing.

PHASE 2

Maze

  • Introduction:

The Maze program (by corzani@github) generates a maze image (of type PNG).

The following function creates the canvas of the Maze and initialize it by filling all the hexadecimal within each pixel After the canvas is filled, the function calls the createImage function.

Finally, the function write the result from the createImage function in a png file using the "lpng" extension The function returns void.

void MazePng::toPng(unsigned int scale) {
       ...
       color_type = PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB;
	bit_depth = 8;
	row_pointers = new png_bytep[height];

	
	// This for loop filling all the hexadecimal within each pixel. 
	for (int i = 0; i < height; ++i) {
		row_pointers[i] = new png_byte[width * 3];

               // The inner for loop fills all three colours (red, green, blue) to the pixel.
		for (int j = 0; j < width * 3; j += 3) {
			row_pointers[i][j] = WALL;
			row_pointers[i][j + 1] = WALL;
			row_pointers[i][j + 2] = WALL;
		}
	}
	
	createImage(row_pointers, 0);
       ...
}

The following function carves the path of the Maze by changing the colour of pixels to white.

void MazePng::createImage(png_bytep *row_pointers, unsigned int scale) {
        ...
        //This loops sets the pixels of the row_pointers using the cells pattern
        for (unsigned int y = 0; y < height; ++y) {
		setPixel(row_pointers, 0, (y * 2) + 1, WALL);

		for (unsigned int x = 0; x < width; ++x) {

			switch ((cells[(y * width) + x] & 0xC0) >> 6) {

			case 2:
				temp[0] = PATH;
				setPixel(row_pointers, 2 + (x * 2), (y * 2) + 1, temp[0]);
				break;
			case 1:
				temp[1] = PATH;
				setPixel(row_pointers, 1 + (x * 2), (y * 2) + 2, temp[1]);
				break;
			case 0:
				setPixel(row_pointers, 2 + (x * 2), (y * 2) + 1, temp[0]);
				setPixel(row_pointers, 1 + (x * 2), (y * 2) + 2, temp[1]);
				break;
			}
			setPixel(row_pointers, 1 + (x * 2), (y * 2) + 1, PATH);
		}

	}
}

Testing Environment:

  • Operating system: Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_ltsb.160812-0914)
  • Compiler: Visual Studio 2015
  • Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.6GHz
  • System memory: 16384MB RAM

How to setup in Visual Studio 2015 in Cuda:

1. Download source files from https://github.com/corzani/maze

2. Create a new Cuda project

3. Copy all header and cpp files from the downloaded maze directory to the project directory (not the solution directory)

4. In VS, right click on the project in the Solution explorer and Add -> Existing Item; pick the copied files from the previous step

5. In VS, go to menu Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console; in the new console (at the bottom of the screen in default configuration), execute:

PM> Install-Package libpng

6. In VS, replace the entire MazePng.cpp file with the following code:

/*
* MazePng.cpp
*
*  Created on: 12 Jul 2013
*      Author: yac
*/
#include "MazePng.h"
// Include the parallel code...
#include "MazePng.cuh" 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

MazePng::MazePng(const unsigned int width, const unsigned int height) : AbstractMaze(width, height) { }

MazePng::~MazePng() { }

void MazePng::toPng(unsigned int scale) {
	png_byte color_type;
	png_byte bit_depth;
	png_structp png_ptr;
	png_infop info_ptr;
	png_bytep *row_pointers;

	int height, width;
	FILE *fp;

	width = (this->width * 2) + 1;
	height = (this->height * 2) + 1;

	color_type = PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB;

1. Introduction

  • Maze

The program generates a maze in png file. It takes 2 arguments: the height and the width of the maze.

  • Maze image
Maze 3x3

  • Analysis:

Parallelizable?

The program function named toPng() has a runtime of O(n^2); it takes up an average of 42% (min: 35%; max: 50%) of the program's execution time.

for (int i = 0; i < height; ++i) {
   row_pointers[i] = new png_byte[width * 3];
   for (int j = 0; j < width * 3; j += 3) {
       row_pointers[i][j] = WALL;
       row_pointers[i][j + 1] = WALL;
       row_pointers[i][j + 2] = WALL;
   }
}

2. Parallelize

  • Kernel:
__global__ void k_drawWalls(png_byte* rows, const short* cells, const int width, const int height, const int len, const int size) {
	int i = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;

	if (i < size) {
		rows[i] = WALL;

		__syncthreads();

		int px = i % len;
		int py = i / len;

		int x = (px - 1) / 2;
		int y = (py - 1) / 2;

		if (px > 0 && py > 0 && x < width && y < height) {
			int c = (cells[y * width + x] & 0xC0) >> 6;

			int idx = py * len + 3 * px;

			if (c == 2) {
				if (py % 2 > 0 && px % 2 == 0) {
					rows[idx] = rows[idx + 1] = rows[idx + 2] = PATH;
				}
			}
			else if (c == 1) {
				if (py % 2 == 0 && px % 2 > 0) {
					rows[idx] = rows[idx + 1] = rows[idx + 2] = PATH;
				}
			}
			else if (c == 0) {
				if ((py % 2 > 0 && px % 2 == 0) || (py % 2 == 0 && px % 2 > 0)) {
					rows[idx] = rows[idx + 1] = rows[idx + 2] = PATH;
				}
			}

			if (py % 2 > 0 && px % 2 > 0) {
				rows[idx] = rows[idx + 1] = rows[idx + 2] = PATH;
			}
		}
	}
}


  • Profiling:

SPDiagram.PNG

  • Sum up:
    • Maze size < 1500 * 1500
    • Maze size > 1500 * 1500

3. Optimize

  • New Kernel
__global__ void k_drawWalls(png_byte* rows, const short* cells, const int width, const int height, const int len, const int size) {
	int i = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;

	if (i < size) {
		rows[i] = WALL;

		__syncthreads();

	}
}
__global__ void k_drawPaths(png_byte* rows, const short* cells, const int width, const int height, const int len) {
	int i = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;

	if (i < width * height) {
		int x = i % width;
		int y = i / width;

		int cas = (cells[i] & 0xC0) >> 6;

		int oddY = (2 * y + 1) * len;
		int evenY = (2 * y + 2) * len;

		int oddX = (2 * x + 1) * 3;
		int evenX = (2 * x + 2) * 3;

		if (cas == 2) {
			rows[oddY + evenX] = rows[oddY + evenX + 1] = rows[oddY + evenX + 2] = PATH;
		}
		else if (cas == 1) {
			rows[evenY + oddX] = rows[evenY + oddX + 1] = rows[evenY + oddX + 2] = PATH;
		}
		else if (cas == 0) {
			rows[oddY + evenX] = rows[oddY + evenX + 1] = rows[oddY + evenX + 2] = PATH;
			rows[evenY + oddX] = rows[evenY + oddX + 1] = rows[evenY + oddX + 2] = PATH;
		}

		rows[oddY + oddX] = rows[oddY + oddX + 1] = rows[oddY + oddX + 2] = PATH;
	}
}

Because there were too many else if condition in the old Kernel, we rewrite the Kernel to avoid divergent.

  • Sum up:
    • Still too many if statement in the Kernel
    • Almost the same section as the serial
