不能超过50%。矩阵乘法的理论性能

问题

我正在学习HPC和代码优化。我试图在Goto的开创性矩阵乘法论文(http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/pingali/CS378/2008sp/papers/gotoPaper.pdf)中复制结果。尽管我付出了最大努力,但我无法超过理论CPU最高性能的50%。

背景

请参阅此处的相关问题(Optimized 2x2 matrix multiplication: Slow assembly versus fast SIMD),包括有关我的硬件的信息

我的尝试

这篇相关论文(http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/pubs/blis3_ipdps14.pdf)很好地描述了Goto的算法结构。我在下面提供了我的源代码。

我的问题

我要求一般帮助。我已经研究了很长时间,已经尝试了许多不同的算法,内联汇编,各种大小的内核(2x2,4x4,2x8,...,mxn m和n大),但 我似乎无法打破50%的CPU Gflops 。这纯粹是出于教育目的,而不是作业。

源代码

希望是可以理解的。如果没有请问。我设置了宏结构(for循环),如上面第2篇文章中所述。我按照两篇论文中的讨论打包矩阵,并在图11中以图形方式显示(http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/pubs/BLISTOMSrev2.pdf)。我的内核计算2x8块,因为这似乎是Nehalem架构的最佳计算(参见GotoBLAS源代码 - 内核)。内核基于计算秩-1更新的概念,如此处所述(http://code.google.com/p/blis/source/browse/config/template/kernels/3/bli_gemm_opt_mxn.c

OS = Win 7 64位

编译器= gcc 4.8.1,但32位和mingw(也是32位。我正在努力获得mingw64的“非安装”版本,这样我就可以生成更快的代码/使用更多的XMM寄存器等。如果任何人都有一个mingw64安装的链接,与mingw-get的方式类似,请发布。我的工作计算机有太多的管理限制。

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:5)

<强>包装

您似乎经常打包A矩阵的块。你做了

rpack(locA, A + ii*n + kk, kc, mc, mr, n);

但这仅取决于iikk,而不取决于jj,但它位于jj的内部循环中,因此您为jj的每次迭代重新包装相同的内容{1}}。我不认为这是必要的。在我的代码中,我在矩阵乘法之前进行打包。可能在矩阵乘法中打包更有效,而值仍然在缓存中,但这样做比较棘手。但是打包是一个O(n ^ 2)运算,矩阵乘法是一个O(n ^ 3)运算,因此在大矩阵的矩阵乘法之外打包并不是非常低效(我也知道测试也是如此)包装只会将效率提高几个百分点)。但是,通过使用rpack每次jj次迭代重新打包,您已经有效地使其成为O(n ^ 3)操作。

壁垒时间

你想要的时间。 On Unix the clock() function does not return the wall time(尽管在Windows上使用MSVC)。它返回每个线程的累积时间。这是我在OpenMP上看到的最常见错误之一。

使用omp_get_wtime()获取时间。

请注意,我不知道clock()函数如何与MinGW或MinGW-w64一起使用(它们是单独的项目)。 MinGW链接到MSVCRT,所以我猜测clock()与MinGW一样,返回与MSVC一样的挂起时间。但是,MinGW-w64没有链接到MSVCRT(据我所知它链接到像glibc这样的东西)。 MinGW-w64中的clock()与Unix的clock()执行的操作可能相同。

超线程

超线程适用于经常使CPU停顿的代码。这实际上是大多数代码,因为编写不会使CPU停顿的代码非常困难。这就是英特尔发明超线程的原因。任务切换更容易,并为CPU提供别的东西,而不是优化代码。但是,对于高度优化的代码,超线程实际上可能会产生更糟糕的结果。在我自己的矩阵乘法代码中,情况肯定如此。将线程数设置为您拥有的物理核心数(在您的情况下为两个)。

我的代码

以下是我的代码。我这里没有包含inner64功能。你可以在Difference in performance between MSVC and GCC for highly optimized matrix multplication code找到它(带有令人讨厌和误导性的AddDot4x4_vec_block_8wide名称)

我在阅读Goto论文之前以及在阅读Agner Fog的优化手册之前编写了这段代码。您似乎在主循环中重新排序/打包矩阵。这可能更有意义。我不认为我按照你的方式对它们进行重新排序,而且我只重新排序其中一个输入矩阵(B),而不是像你一样。

此代码在我的系统(Xeon E5-1620@3.6)上使用Linux和GCC的性能约为此矩阵大小(4096x4096)峰值的75%。对于这种矩阵大小,英特尔的MKL在我的系统中占据了峰值的94%左右,因此显然还有改进的空间。
