Function Documentation

bool canPerformDeviceDetection

(

std::string *

errorMessage

)

Return whether GPUs can be detected.

Returns true when this is a build of GROMACS configured to support GPU usage, GPU detection is not disabled by GMX_DISABLE_GPU_DETECTION environment variable and a valid device driver, ICD, and/or runtime was detected. Does not throw.

Parameters

[out]

errorMessage

When returning false on a build configured with GPU support and non-nullptr was passed, the string contains a descriptive message about why GPUs cannot be detected.

std::vector<std::unique_ptr<DeviceInformation> > deserializeDeviceInformations

(

gmx::ISerializer *

serializer

)

Deserialization of information on devices after MPI broadcasting.

Parameters

[in]

serializer

Serializing object.

Returns

deviceInfoList Deserialized vector with device informations.

bool deviceIdIsCompatible	(	gmx::ArrayRef< const std::unique_ptr< DeviceInformation >>	deviceInfoList,
		int	deviceId
	)

Return whether deviceId is found in deviceInfoList and is compatible.

This function filters the result of the detection for compatible GPUs, based on the previously run compatibility tests.

Parameters

[in]	deviceInfoList	An information on available devices.
[in]	deviceId	The device ID to find in the list.

Exceptions

RangeError

If deviceId does not match the id of any device in deviceInfoList

Returns

Whether deviceId is compatible.

std::vector<std::unique_ptr<DeviceInformation> > findDevices

(

)

Find all GPUs in the system.

Will detect every GPU supported by the device driver in use. Must only be called if canPerformDeviceDetection() has returned true. This routine also checks for the compatibility of each device and fill the deviceInfo array with the required information on each device: ID, device properties, status.

Note that this function leaves the GPU runtime API error state clean; this is implemented ATM in the CUDA flavor. This invalidates any existing CUDA streams, allocated memory on GPU, etc.

Todo:

: Check if errors do propagate in OpenCL as they do in CUDA and whether there is a mechanism to "clear" them.

Returns

Standard vector with the list of devices found

Exceptions

InternalError

if a GPU API returns an unexpected failure (because the call to canDetectGpus() should always prevent this occuring)

std::vector<int> getCompatibleDeviceIds

(

gmx::ArrayRef< const std::unique_ptr< DeviceInformation >>

deviceInfoList

)

Return a container of the IDs of the compatible GPU ids.

This function filters the result of the detection for compatible GPUs, based on the previously run compatibility tests.

Parameters

[in]

deviceInfoList

An information on available devices.

Returns

Vector of compatible GPU ids.

std::vector<std::reference_wrapper<DeviceInformation> > getCompatibleDevices

(

const std::vector< std::unique_ptr< DeviceInformation >> &

deviceInfoList

)

Return a container of device-information handles that are compatible.

This function filters the result of the detection for compatible GPUs, based on the previously run compatibility tests.

Parameters

[in]

deviceInfoList

An information on available devices.

Returns

Vector of DeviceInformations on GPUs recorded as compatible

std::string getDeviceCompatibilityDescription	(	gmx::ArrayRef< const std::unique_ptr< DeviceInformation >>	deviceInfoList,
		int	deviceId
	)

Return a string describing how compatible the GPU with given deviceId is.

Parameters

[in]	deviceInfoList	An information on available devices.
[in]	deviceId	An index of the device to check

Returns

A string describing the compatibility status, useful for error messages.

int getDeviceComputeUnitFactor

(

const DeviceInformation &

deviceInfo

)

Get the factor to divide the number of compute units by.

OpenCL and SYCL can report the number of Compute Units (CUs) a device has, see CL_DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS and info::device::max_compute_units. But "CU" is only vaguely defined by the standard, and on different vendors the same API call returns different things.

On NVIDIA, that is the number of SMs.

On AMD, that is the number of Compute Units, which are similar to CUDA's SM. Except on RDNA, where the number of Dual Compute Units is returned (https://stackoverflow.com/a/63976796/929437).

On Intel, that is the number of EUs (XVEs), which are similar to CUDA core. The concept similar to CUDA SM is called sub-slice (Xe Core, XC), and it contains 16 EUs (Gen9-Gen11, Xe).

This function uses CUDA SM as a reference. To get the number of SM-like units on a device, divide the result of CL_DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS / info::device::max_compute_units API call by the value returned by this function.

Todo:

: Handled AMD RDNA?

Parameters

[in]

deviceInfo

Device information.

Returns

how many CUs are there in a single SM-like entity.

std::string getDeviceInformationString

(

const DeviceInformation &

deviceInfo

)

Formats and returns a device information string for a given GPU.

Given an index directly into the array of available GPUs, returns a formatted info string for the respective GPU which includes ID, name, compute capability, and detection status.

Parameters

[in]

deviceInfo

An information on device that is to be set.

Returns

A string describing the device.

DeviceVendor getDeviceVendor

(

const char *

vendorName

)

Returns an DeviceVendor value corresponding to the input OpenCL vendor name.

Returns

DeviceVendor value for the input vendor name

gmx::GpuAwareMpiStatus getMinimalSupportedGpuAwareMpiStatus

(

gmx::ArrayRef< const std::unique_ptr< DeviceInformation >>

deviceInfoList

)

Return whether all compatible devices in deviceInfoList support GPU-aware MPI.

Returns

Whether all compatible devices in the list support GPU-aware MPI (both full support and forced support counts).

bool isDeviceDetectionEnabled

(

)

Return whether GPU detection is enabled.

Returns true when this is a build of GROMACS configured to support GPU usage and GPU detection is not disabled by GMX_DISABLE_GPU_DETECTION environment variable.

Does not throw.

bool isDeviceDetectionFunctional

(

std::string *

errorMessage

)

Return whether GPU detection is functioning correctly.

Returns true when this is a build of GROMACS configured to support GPU usage, and a valid device driver, ICD, and/or runtime was detected.

This function is not intended to be called from build configurations that do not support GPUs, and there will be no descriptive message in that case.

Parameters

[out]

errorMessage

When returning false on a build configured with GPU support and non-nullptr was passed, the string contains a descriptive message about why GPUs cannot be detected.

Does not throw.

void releaseDevice

(

DeviceInformation *

deviceInfo

)

Releases the GPU device used by the active context at the time of calling (CUDA only).

If deviceInfo is nullptr, then it is understood that no device was selected so no context is active to be freed. Otherwise, the context is explicitly destroyed and therefore all data uploaded to the GPU is lost. This must only be called when none of this data is required anymore, because subsequent attempts to free memory associated with the context will otherwise fail.

Calls gmx_warning upon errors.

Todo:

This should go through all the devices, not only the one currently active. Reseting only one device will not work, e.g. in CUDA tests.

Parameters

[in]

deviceInfo

Information on the device to be released.

void serializeDeviceInformations	(	const std::vector< std::unique_ptr< DeviceInformation >> &	deviceInfoList,
		gmx::ISerializer *	serializer
	)

Serialization of information on devices for MPI broadcasting.

Parameters

[in]	deviceInfoList	The vector with device informations to serialize.
[in]	serializer	Serializing object.

void setActiveDevice

(

const DeviceInformation &

deviceInfo

)

Set the active GPU.

This sets the device for which the device information is passed active. Essential in CUDA, where the device buffers and kernel launches are not connected to the device context. In OpenCL, checks the device vendor and makes vendor-specific performance adjustments.

Parameters

[in]

deviceInfo

Information on the device to be set.

Issues a fatal error for any critical errors that occur during initialization.

void warnWhenDeviceNotTargeted	(	const gmx::MDLogger &	mdlog,
		const DeviceInformation &	deviceInfo
	)

Warn to the logger when the detected device was not one of the targets selected at configure time for compilation.

Parameters

[in]	mdlog	Logger
[in]	deviceInfo	The device to potentially warn about
