This package should also be built against OpenMPI. And you need to follow the MPI guidelines.

(In reply to Susi Lehtola from comment #2)
Thanks for the hints, MPI packaging was deep water for me :) So hopefully I got it right now, any comments are welcome.

Spec URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl.spec
SRPM URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl-2.1-1.fc18.src.rpm

I'm slightly confused; does this not support serial mode at all (i.e. can it run without MPI)?  Also, I'm not seeing the -common package which the guidelines mandate.  (It does look like those guidelines, or at least the examples, need fixing now that we don't ship lam.)

I don't understand why you play sed games with _smp_mflags instead of just calling make without passing _smp_mflags.  What benefit is there from calling make -j1 instead of just calling make?  And even if there was something, why not then actually call make -j1 instead of cooking up a macro that does the same thing?

I was not able to compile it without MPI, it seems to be mandatory. It would probably require more patching to make it optional.

Added.

The most safe way to work with probably any _smp_mflags value, e.g. it would handle any possible future extensions of these flags. Maybe a bit over-engineered, so I made it simple as proposed.

Interesting, it seems there is no more mpich2, but mpich-3*. Mpich2 is now dead package, from the dist-git:

> 2014-06-04 - This package was already retired in pkgdb/blocked in koji, but no dead.package file existed. The original retirement reason is unclear.

So this doesn't clarify what happen. There is still mpich2 used in the MPI packaging guidelines:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:MPI

Could anybody clarify this and/or fix the guidelines? In the meantime I will try to rebuild the package with mpich-3*.

Spec URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl.spec
SRPM URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl-2.1-3.fc20.src.rpm

Used mpich instead of mpich2. At least it builds now on f20, f22 :)

Could anybody take this review? Seriosly guys it's more than two years the request was filled. I am ready to trade it for another review.

I was going to comment on this.  I can't give a formal review, and I'm
about to go on holiday, but there's an amended spec at
https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/review/hpl.spec
in case it's useful.  It builds on at least epel-6-x86_64 and fedora-20-x86_64
and passes rpmlint.

Obviously a serial version makes no sense as it's a distributed benchmark.

If you use the packaged atlas rather than openblas on x86_64 -- at least
on sandybridge -- the results are a factor of 3-ish(?) pessimistic.  I can't
remember the actual figure.  Openblas/openmpi give you essentially the same
results as the Intel proprietary stuff -- hooray for free software.

A devel package doesn't make sense for the benchmark, surely.

[Fedora badly needs the Debian model for BLAS to avoid this sort of issue.]

Thanks, I will take a look and merge it.

No worry and enjoy your holiday, it was waiting for more than two years, it can surely wait for few more days :)

What's the status/outlook on this?  It's something we could very much use in our work here.

Thanks!

http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/loveshack/livhpc/

In the absence of any progress, you can get rpms from
http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/loveshack/livhpc/

Thanks very much - that's a huge help!  And it looks like there's a lot more useful stuff in livhpc.

I realize that's one of a bunch of things I hadn't adjusted for the Great RHEL6.6
MPI Disaster.  There's an update which works in EPEL6 at
https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/copr/hpl-2.1-4.el6.src.rpm

Hi, thanks and sorry for delay. I will provide new package for review during this week. But there is still no reviewer assigned, so feel free to step-in as a reviewer :)

> But there is still no reviewer assigned, so feel free to step-in
> as a reviewer :)

Sorry, I'm not qualified, and I can sympathize on reviews.

By the way, the reason I moved HPL.dat is that I think it's much more an example
than a system config file; I wouldn't expect hpl typically to be run with one
set of parameters.

Spec URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl.spec
SRPM URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl-2.1-4.fc21.src.rpm

Merged changes from Dave.

Again, reviewer wanted :) I am ready to trade this for other review(s).

I didn't merge this change, because I am currently unsure about its benefit. I think it is good config for the start, and it's probably good it's present in the sysconfdir. It has noreplace, so it can be freely tuned. I think typical approach when running benchmark is to get initial config, run benchmark, analyze results, tune config, re-run benchmark, etc., until one is satisfied with the results.

This is my personal opinion, but feel free to share your opinions.

OK!  I guess you use it differently.  It's not used with fixed input here, e.g. as
a convenient way of stressing a single node of varying memory size.  Also, it's
not obvious to me that it fits the definition for files in /etc in the FHS.

Obviously that's not important and it's irrelevant without a proper review.

The current version doesn't build, with 

error: Directory not found: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/hpl-2.1-4.fc23.x86_64/etc/mpich-x86_64/hpl

etc.

Probably bug in mpich, reported as bug 1196728.

Is HPL.dat really different between the two mpi versions of hpl?  I.e. - does it really belong in $MPI_SYSCONFIG?

(In reply to Orion Poplawski from comment #23)
> Is HPL.dat really different between the two mpi versions of hpl?  I.e. -
> does it really belong in $MPI_SYSCONFIG?

It seems that what we install is initially the same. I will update the package.

Finally I am putting the HPL.dat into /usr/share. It's more like example file.

Spec URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl.spec
SRPM URL: http://jskarvad.fedorapeople.org/hpl/hpl-2.1-5.fc21.src.rpm

This package makes me quite happy, because it should be another good test of mpich and openmpi.

Without futher ado:

Please add %global _docdir_fmt %{name}. Currently hpl-common has files in /usr/share/doc/hpl-common which is confusing and unnecessary.

Documentation should be in an unversioned directory. 
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnversionedDocdirs]

Use %license for COPYRIGHT.
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text]

The binary currently tries to open /etc/hpl/HPL.dat and segfaults. I think it should be patched to use the new location.

README.Fedora still refers to mpich2. It's mpich now.

Shouldn't this be run in %check? It would test both mpi implementations on all archs.

Please see previous discussion on HPL.dat location. I finally moved HPL.dat to /usr/share/hpl, but I am not sure whether it is good thing to add a fallback for HPL to read the file from there, probably it isn't. Nevertheless it shouldn't coredump. I patched it to cleanly exit.

I am currently not sure. Did you mean running the HPL benchmark by hand over all available implementations? And with which configuration? With the supplied example HPL.dat? What number of processes to use? One? Is it good thing to do?

I don't see why it shouldn't. What about the following simpler patch:
--- a/testing/ptest/HPL_pdinfo.c
+++ b/testing/ptest/HPL_pdinfo.c
@@ -294,11 +294,12 @@

       }
 
       (void) fgets( line, HPL_LINE_MAX - 2, infp );

This way the package does something useful out-of-the-box, and gives a rough test/benchmark of the mpi installation. If the user wants to customize, they can provide their own HPL.dat file in $CWD.

hpl-README.Fedora still has old contents ("mpich2").

Yes, that's what I'd do. Something like this:

%check
%{_openmpi_load}
mpirun -n 4 xhpl_openmpi
%{_openmpi_unload}

%{_mpich_load}
mpirun -n 4 xhpl_mpich
%{_mpich_unload}

This takes about two seconds on my machine. I guess it'd vary a lot between architectures, but should not be more then maybe ten seconds anywhere. The point is less to benchmark anything, but rather to test that it still runs at all. I think 4 is a good number, even if compiling on one cpu: high enough to test that things work, but does not consume undue resources.

My previous opinion was the same - that it could do something useful out of the box. So shouldn't be better to use /etc/hpl/HPL.dat?

Sorry, I mistakenly built the package from the old cached sources.

Makes sense, I think that load of koji builders will be negligible.

/usr/share/ seems more natural, because it's more of an example than an actual
config file: if I'm not mistaken you can have a few different ones and use them
in parallel. Either way is OK.
