  1. KTAU: Kernel TAU Aroon Nataraj Suravee Suthikulpanit

  2. Agenda • KTAU Infrastructure • KTAU - TAU Integration • KTAU Source Distribution • Generic Kernel Profiling API (BG/L compute-node)

  3. KTAU Infrastructure • Modular Design: Goal: Separate into 3 phases: Source Instr. -- KTAU -- User Interface KTAU Kernel Instrumentation KTAU Profiling Infrastructure KTAU Proc Interface KTAU User-API

  4. KTAU INSTRUMENTATIONS

  5. Motivations • Minimal addition to existing kernel source • Instrumentation-based profiling • Inclusive / Exclusive time • High resolution time (rdtsc) • Flexible and extensible design • Light-weight and Efficient • Configurable

  6. Inst. Point Design • GOAL: Minimal overhead (perturbation) • Address-Symbol mapping (System.map, /proc/kallsyms) • Run-time function profile registration (Dynamic function ID mapping) • Types • Timer (start, stop) • Event Counter, Miscellaneous Counter

  7. Dynamic function ID • GOAL: Fast access to profile data • Each function has a unique ID used for the indexing the profile table • Register itself at run-time • ID: - 0-299 : System Calls - 300-400 : Static Index - 400-1023 : Dynamic Index

  8. Inst. Placement • Inside kernel routine • Randezvous entry/exit points • System calls entry/exit (/linux/arch/i386/entry.S) • bottom-half entry/exit routine (/linux/kernel/softirq.c)

  9.

  10. Scheduling Kernel Control Flow

  11. KTAU Profiling Infrastructure

  12. Motivations • Context-Of-Execution-based profiling • Easily extensible w/ different type of inst. • Small Memory Footprint • No running daemon • SMP-Support

  13. COE-based profiling • Maintain profile data in task_struct which allows task level profiling as well as whole system • Consistant with TAU framework • No lookup is required

  14. KTAU-PROC Interface

  15. Requirements • Bi-Directional Communication • Extensible, allowing different commands • Scales with load • Able to support per-process & System profile • As independent of KTAU as possible

  16. KTAU KTAU - PROC KTAU - API Control - API SYS_IOCTL IOCTL on /proc/ktau Lib-KTAU Profiled Apps Utilities High-Level Design / Architecture Kernel Space Exposes /proc/ktau UserSpace

  17. KTAU - TAU Integration

  18. Motivations • Providing integration of kernel and user profile • Interface with TAU Profiler through libKtau • Use Paraprof as visualization tool

  19. TAU configuration ./configure -cc=icc -c++=icpc -ktau -ktau_merge -ktauinc=/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-ktau-1.2/include/ -fortran=intel -mpi -mpiinc=/software/mpich2-install/include/ -mpilib=/software/mpich2-install/lib/

  21. Output Format • Kernel Profile (User and Interrupt Context) • System-wide • Individual process • Merged Kernel-User Profile (User Context)

  22. System-wide Profile (Lu.W.4)

  23. Individual Process Profile- Lu.W.4- Node 0- Excl time- usec

  24. Merged Kernel-User Profile- Lu.W.4- Node 0

  25. Source Distribution • KTAU suite • Kernel patches • Kernel extension source • User-space library/tools • Documentations

  26. Generic Kernel ProfilingAPI Suite BG/L Compute-node

  27. Motivations Goal: Providing a generic API for kernel profiling on BG/L compute-node BG/L Key Characteristics: • Common address space • Single Process

  28. Strategies • Dynamic ID mapping to kernel routines ( Based on KTAU prototype ) • Dynamic registration of profiling handler routines

  29. Instrumentation API • Provides kernel intercept points • Kernel routine taxonomy • Dynamic function ID mapping to routine

  30. Instrumentation API (cont’d) unsigned int get_fid ( unsigned int group ) void start_timer ( unsigned int funcId , unsigned int group, char* funcName) void stop_timer ( unsigned int funcId , unsigned int group, char* funcName) void start_prof ( unsigned int funcId , unsigned int group, char* funcName,unsigned int data ) void stop_prof ( unsigned int funcId , unsigned int group, char* funcName, unsigned int data ) void event_prof ( unsigned int funcId , unsigned group, char* funcName, unsigned int data)

  31. Registration API • Profiling tools selection - Combination of tools according to the tool strength • Group selection - Focus on the group of kernel routines of interest at a particular section of application

  32. Registration API (cont’d) int register_handler ( unsigned int group_mask, void ( *handler ) ( unsigned int, unsigned int, char*, void* ) ) int unregister_handler ( unsigned int group_mask )

  33. Handler API • Tool specific routines for processing data void handler ( unsigned int funcId, unsigned int type, char * funcName, void * data )

  34. Trace Merged Profile
