Here's the updated README with the additional information about the timer.report and the multi-GPU setup:

JAX HPC Profiler

JAX HPC Profiler is a tool designed for benchmarking and visualizing performance data in high-performance computing (HPC) environments. It provides functionalities to generate, concatenate, and plot CSV data from various runs.

Table of Contents

Introduction

JAX HPC Profiler allows users to:

  1. Generate CSV files containing performance data.
  2. Concatenate multiple CSV files from different runs.
  3. Plot the performance data for analysis.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command:

pip install jax-hpc-profiler

Generating CSV Files Using the Timer Class

To generate CSV files, you can use the Timer class provided in the jax_hpc_profiler.timer module. This class helps in timing functions and saving the timing results to CSV files.

Example Usage

import jax
from jax_hpc_profiler import Timer

def fcn(m, n, k):
    return jax.numpy.dot(m, n) + k

timer = Timer(save_jaxpr=True)
m = jax.numpy.ones((1000, 1000))
n = jax.numpy.ones((1000, 1000))
k = jax.numpy.ones((1000, 1000))

timer.chrono_jit(fcn, m, n, k)
for i in range(10):
    timer.chrono_fun(fcn, m, n, k)

meta_data = {
  "function": "fcn",
  "precision": "float32",
  "x": 1000,
  "y": 1000,
  "z": 1000,
  "px": 1,
  "py": 1,
  "backend": "NCCL",
  "nodes": 1
}
extra_info = {
    "done": "yes"
}

timer.report("examples/profiling/test.csv", **meta_data,  extra_info=extra_info)

timer.report has sensible defaults and this is the API for the Timer class:

  • csv_filename: The path to the CSV file to save the timing data (required).
  • function: The name of the function being timed (required).
  • x: The size of the input data in the x dimension (required).
  • y: The size of the input data in the y dimension (by default same as x).
  • z: The size of the input data in the z dimension (by default same as x).
  • precision: The precision of the data (default: "float32").
  • px: The number of partitions in the x dimension (default: 1).
  • py: The number of partitions in the y dimension (default: 1).
  • backend: The backend used for computation (default: "NCCL").
  • nodes: The number of nodes used for computation (default: 1).
  • md_filename: The path to the markdown file containing the compiled code and other information (default: {csv_folder}/{x}{px}{py}{backend}{precision}_{function}.md).
  • extra_info: Additional information to include in the report (default: {}

px and py are used to specify the data decomposition. For example, if you have a 2D array of size 1000x1000 and you partition it into 4 parts (2x2), you would set px=2 and py=2.
they can also be used in a single device run to specify batch size.

Some decomposition parameters are generated and that are specific to 3D data decomposition.
slab_yz if the distributed axis is the y-axis.
slab_xy if the distributed axis is the x-axis.
pencils if the distributed axis are the x and y axes.

Multi-GPU Setup

In a multi-GPU setup, the times are automatically averaged across ranks, providing a single performance metric for the entire setup.

CSV Structure

The CSV files should follow a specific structure to ensure proper processing and concatenation. The directory structure should be organized by GPU type, with subdirectories for the number of GPUs and the respective CSV files.

Example Directory Structure

root_directory/
├── gpu_1/
│   ├── 2/
│   │   ├── method_1.csv
│   │   ├── method_2.csv
│   │   └── method_3.csv
│   ├── 4/
│   │   ├── method_1.csv
│   │   ├── method_2.csv
│   │   └── method_3.csv
│   └── 8/
│       ├── method_1.csv
│       ├── method_2.csv
│       └── method_3.csv
└── gpu_2/
    ├── 2/
    │   ├── method_1.csv
    │   ├── method_2.csv
    │   └── method_3.csv
    ├── 4/
    │   ├── method_1.csv
    │   ├── method_2.csv
    │   └── method_3.csv
    └── 8/
        ├── method_1.csv
        ├── method_2.csv
        └── method_3.csv

Concatenating Files from Different Runs

The plot function expects the directory to be organized as described above, but with the different number of GPUs together in the same directory. The concatenate function can be used to concatenate the CSV files from different runs into a single file.

Example Usage

jax-hpc-profiler concat /path/to/root_directory /path/to/output

And the output will be:

out_directory/
├── gpu_1/
│   ├── method_1.csv
│   ├── method_2.csv
│   └── method_3.csv
└── gpu_2/
    ├── method_1.csv
    ├── method_2.csv
    └── method_3.csv

Plotting CSV Data

You can plot the performance data using the plot command. The plotting command provides various options to customize the plots.

Usage

jax-hpc-profiler plot -f <csv_files> [options]

  • -f, --csv_files: List of CSV files to plot (required).

  • -d, --data_size: List of data sizes to plot.
  • -fd, --filter_pdims: List of pdims to filter (e.g., 1x4 2x2 4x8).
  • -ps, --pdim_strategy: Strategy for plotting pdims. This argument can be multiple ones (plot_all, plot_fastest, slab_yz, slab_xy, pencils).
    • plot_all: Plot every decomposition.
    • plot_fastest: Plot the fastest decomposition.
  • -pr, --precision: Precision to filter by. This argument can be multiple ones (float32, float64).

  • -pt, --plot_times: Time columns to plot (jit_time, min_time, max_time, mean_time, std_time, last_time). Note: You cannot plot memory and time together.

  • -mu, --memory_units: Memory units to plot (KB, MB, GB, TB).
  • -fs, --figure_size: Figure size.
  • -o, --output: Output file (if none then only show plot).
