Hi,
I'm trying to use the AWS as a computing resource for OpenFOAM simulations. Recently, I tested various instance types for testing the parallel performances and would like to share the results with you. And I also want to discuss how to improve the parallel performance of OpenFOAM on AWS. 1. Simple Test of motorBike case
Procs E.Time Speed Up ------ -------- ---------- 1 400s 1 2 216s 1.86 4 115s 3.47 6 82s 4.89 8 70s 5.73 So far, I thought that the result was not bad. 2. Test with Larger Instance (vCPU=64)
Procs Time(S) S/U ------ ------ ------ 1 3902.0 1 8 451.35 8.6 16 283.74 13.8 24 231.99 16.8 32 198.19 19.7 48 170.59 22.9 64 157.32 24.8 As you can see, the scalability saturated around 24 cores. I read a following articles and tried again with EFA enabled. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ko_kr/AW...efa-start.html https://aws.amazon.com/ko/blogs/hpc/...rmance-on-aws/ Procs Time S/U 1 3902 1 32 198.74 19.6 64 160.95 24.2 But the results were the same. 3. AMD Instance
Procs Time S/U ------ ----- ------ 1 3900.0 1 8 401.25 9.72 16 259.84 15.01 24 213.92 18.23 32 199.92 19.51 48 154.23 25.29 64 148.67 26.23 96 142.81 27.31 Not really. Of course, I forgot to turn off the SMT option, but still the result is not satisfactory at all. Does anyone who has an experience on the OpenFOAM-ing on Cloud? As a reference, I used OpenMPI with EFA for the tests. I hope to find the way to improve the parallel performance of the OpenFOAM on AWS. Thanks! |
