Introduction

This work has been funded by the Inria ADT project SPETABARU-H, and the ANR National project AUTOSPEC (ANR-21-CE25-0009).

Introduction

SPECX is a task-based runtime system. It shares several similarities with StarPU but is written in modern C++. It also supports speculative execution, which is the capability of executing tasks in advance if some others are not certain to modify the data.

The project was originally designed for Monte Carlo and Replica Exchange Monte Carlo (RMC/Parallel tempering).

This is an on-going project under development.

GitHub Actions

Installation requirements

C++17 standard compliant toolchain
CMake (version 3.20 or after)

Installation

First create a new directory outside of SPECX's source tree with mkdir <dir_name>
cd into the newly created directory.
Create a subdirectory with a name of your choice
Run cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path_to_directory_created_in_step_3> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<build_type> ..
Run make or make -j <number_of_commands_to_run_simultaneously>
Run make install

<build_type> can take one of two values : Release or Debug.

If you want to install the static SPECX library and its header files to your default user library location you can remove the DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX flag in step 4.

If you want to create the build directory inside SPECX's source tree, we recommend to call it "build" as this name has been explicitly marked as to be ignored by Git.

Examples

Several examples are given in the Examples and UTests directories. Setting the environment variable SPECX_DEBUG_PRINT to TRUE will enable debug information output.

Support

Please leave an issue on the SPECX repository: https://gitlab.inria.fr/bramas/specx

Detailed overview

Workflow

Workflow in Specx mainly revolves around three interfaces:

the runtime interface
the data dependency interface
the task viewer interface

Runtime interface

The runtime's functionality is exposed through a class called SpRuntime. This class provides task creation, task graph and trace generation facilities.

The SpRuntime class is templated on a non type parameter that can be used to specify which speculation model you want to use. This parameter can take on one of three values (we currently support three different speculation models) defined in Src/Speculation/SpSpeculativeModel.hpp. By default the runtime uses the first speculation model.

Main `SpRuntime` methods:

SpRuntime(const int inNumThreads)

At the moment every instance of SpRuntime has its own thread pool to distribute its work onto. In the future we plan to separate thread management from the runtime. The runtime's contructor takes as a parameter the number of threads it should spawn. By default the parameter is initialized to the number indicated by the OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable. If the environment variable is not set the parameter is default initialized to the number of concurrent threads supported by the hardware. The constructor spawns the new threads.
At this time, we don't allow manual binding of threads to cores. For now, the runtime will bind threads to cores by thread index if either the environment variable OMP_PROC_BIND is set to TRUE (or true or 1) or if inNumThreads is less than or equal to the number of concurrent threads supported by the hardware.

auto task([optional] SpPriority inPriority, [optional] SpProbability inProbability,
[optional] <DataDependencyTy> ddo..., <CallableTy> c) (1)
auto task([optional] SpPriority inPriority, [optional] SpProbability inProbability,
[optional] <DataDependencyTy> ddo..., SpCpuCode(<CallableTy> c1), [optional] SpGpuCode(<CallableTy> c2)) (2)

This method creates a new task and injects it into the runtime. It returns an object representing the newly created task. For more information on how to interact with this object see Task viewer interface section below.

The inPriority parameter specifies a priority for the task. You can find the definition of the SpPriority class in Src/Utils/SpPriority.hpp.

The inProbability parameter is an object used to specify the probability with which the task may write to its maybe-written data dependencies. You can find the definition of the SpProbability class in Src/Utils/SpProbability.hpp.

Following the inProbability parameter is a list of data dependency objects (see section Data dependency interface below for a definition of these objects). This list declares the data dependencies of the task. At the moment we only allow one type of data dependency to be declared for a given data element and a data dependency declaration of a certain type for a particular data element should only appear once except for read and atomic write dependencies. For example you can't have a read and a write dependency for the same data element (in this case you should only declare the strongest dependency type which is write). Validity of the dependencies is checked at runtime. If you have declared two data dependencies on expressions that are different but evaluate to the same data element the program will exit.
The runtime distinguishes potential tasks (tasks that might not always write to their write data dependencies) from normal tasks (tasks that always write to their write data dependencies). The information of whether the to be created task should be considered a potential task or a normal task is infered from the DataDependency object list. In short, if the list contains a data dependency object of type SpMaybeWrite or SpMaybeWriteArray (see data dependency section below) then the task will be considered a potential task. If not it will be considered a normal task. The runtime will only try to speculate over potential tasks.

The last or two last argument(s) (depending on which overload the call gets resolved to) specifies(specify) (a) callable(s) embodying the code that the task should execute. The callables can either be lambda expressions or functors. The callable's function call operator must have as many parameters as there are data dependency objects in the data dependency object list. All parameters should be of lvalue reference type and the type of each parameter should be the same as the data element from the corresponding data dependency object in the data dependency object list (alternatively you can type deduce the type with auto). The parameters should appear in the same order as they appear in the data dependency list.
Example:

Type1 v1;
Type2 v2;

runtime.task(SpRead(v1), SpWrite(v2), [] (const Type1 &paramV1, Type2 &paramV2) {
    if(paramV1.test()) {
        paramV2.set(1);
    }else {
        paramV2.set(2);
    }
});

Parameters corresponding to a SpRead data dependency object should be declared const (paramV1 in the example given above). Code inside the callable must be referring to parameter names rather than the original variable names. In the example given above, code in the lambda body is referring to the names paramV1 and paramV2 to refer to v1 and v2 data values rather than v1 and v2. You should not capture v1 and v2 by reference and work with v1 and v2 directly. You can however capture any variable that does not appear in the data dependency list and work with it directly. The runtime will store addresses to the data elements appearing in the data dependency list and will take care of calling the callable with the appropriate corresponding arguments. In the example given above, assuming the task call is the sole task call in the entire program, the runtime will take the addresses of v1 and v2 (since these are the data elements that appear in the data dependency list) and when the task executes it will call the lambda with arguments *v1 and *v2. Note that since Specx is a speculative task-based runtime system it will also happen that the callable gets called with copies of the data elements (sampled at different points in time) rather then the original data elements.
The callables for normal tasks can return any value. The callables for potential tasks must however all return a boolean. This boolean is used to inform the runtime of whether the task has written to its maybe-write data dependencies or not. The callable's code must appropriately return true or false depending on the situation. It should return true if the task wrote to its maybe-write data dependencies and false otherwise.
In overload (1) the callable is passed as is to the task call. It will implicitly be interpreted by the runtime as CPU code.
In overload (2) the callable c1 is explictly tagged as CPU code by being wrapped inside a SpCpuCode object (see subsection on callable wrapper objects in section Data dependency interface below). Overload (2) additionally permits the user to provide a GPU version of the code (in this case the callable should be wrapped inside a SpGpuCode object). When both CPU and GPU versions of the code are provided, the Specx runtime will decide at runtime which one of the two to execute.

void setSpeculationTest(std::function<bool(int,const SpProbability&)> inFormula)

This method sets a predicate function that will be called by the runtime whenever a speculative task is ready to be put in the queue of ready tasks (i.e. all of its data dependencies are ready). The predicate is used to decide, based on runtime information, if the speculative task as well as any of its dependent speculative tasks should be allowed to run. The predicate returns a boolean. A return value of true means the speculative task and all of its dependent speculative tasks are allowed to run. Reciprocally a return value of false means the speculative task and all of its dependent speculative tasks should be disabled.

Note that while a speculative task might be allowed to run it doesn't necessarely mean that it will actually run. For a speculative task to actually run all the parent speculations over which it speculates must not have failed. It could be that in between the time the speculative task was marked as allowed to run and the time where it is actually picked up by a thread for execution some of the parent speculations have failed and so it won't get executed even though it was allowed to run as per result of the evaluation of the predicate in the past.

The two arguments to the predicate are provided by the runtime. The first parameter corresponds to the number of tasks that were in the ready queue at the time the predicate was called. The second parameter is a probability whose value is the mean of all the probabilities of all the dependent speculative tasks of the speculative task that the predicate is being called for and the probability of the speculative task that the predicate is being called for. Based on these two parameters one can write its own custom logic to enable/disable speculative tasks. You could for example decide to disable a speculative task if the mean probability goes beyond a certain threshhold (since it might not make much sense to continue speculating if the chances of failure are high). The prototype of the predicate might change in the future as we might want to take into account additional or different data to perform the decision.

If no speculation test is set in the runtime, the default behavior is that a speculative task and all its dependent speculative tasks will only be enabled if at the time the predicate is called no other tasks are ready to run.

void waitAllTasks()

This method is a blocking call which waits until all the tasks that have been pushed to the runtime up to this point have finished.

void waitRemain(const long int windowSize)

This method is a blocking call which waits until the number of still unprocessed tasks becomes less than or equal to windowSize.

void stopAllThreads()

This method is a blocking call which causes the runtime threads to exit. The method expects all tasks to have already finished, therefore you should always call waitAllTasks() before calling this method.

int getNbThreads()

This method returns the size of the runtime thread pool (in number of threads).

void generateDot(const std::string& outputFilename, bool printAccesses)

This method will generate the task graph corresponding to the execution in dot format.
It will write its output to outputFilename path. The boolean printAccesses can be set to true if you want to print the memory accesses of the tasks (only the memory accesses that were specified in their data dependency list will get printed) into the body of the tasks node. By default printAccesses is set to false.
Tasks names will be printed into the graph nodes. The default name will be output for each task unless another name was manually set by the user (see Task viewer interface section below). Speculative versions of tasks will have an apostrophe appended to their name. You can visualize the task graph in pdf format using the following command :

dot -Tpdf -o <pdf_output_filename> <path_to_dot_output_file>

The generateDot method should be called after having called waitAllTasks() and stopAllThreads().

void generateTrace(const std::string& outputFilename, const bool showDependences)

This method will generate a trace of the execution (with timings and dependences) in svg format.
The generateTrace method should only be called after having called waitAllTasks() and stopAllThreads().

Data dependency interface

The data dependency interface forms a collection of objects that can be used to express data dependencies.
It also provides wrapper objects that can be used to specify if a given callable should be considered CPU or GPU code.
The definition of the classes for these objects can be found in Src/Utils/SpModes.hpp.

Data dependency objects

Specifying data dependencies boils down to constructing the relevant data dependency objects from the data lvalues.

Scalar data

SpRead(x)

Specifies a read dependency on x.
Read requests are always fulfilled by default, i.e. a read request rr2 on data x immediately following another read request rr1 on data x does not have to wait for rr1 to be fulfilled in order to be serviced. Multiple successive read accesses will be performed in any order and/or at the same time.
Reads are ordered by the runtime with respect to writes, maybe-writes, commutative writes and atomic writes. The order is the order in which the data accesses have been requested at runtime.

SpWrite(x)

Specifies a write dependency on x indicating that the data x will be written to with 100% certainty.
Multiple successive write requests to given data x will be fulfilled one after the other in the order they were emitted in at runtime.
Writes are ordered by the runtime with respect to reads, writes, maybe-writes, commutative writes and atomic writes. The order is the order in which the data accesses have been requested at runtime.

SpMaybeWrite(x)

Specifies a maybe-write dependency indicating that the data x might be written to, i.e. it will not always be the case (writes might occur with a certain probability).
Multiple successive maybe-write requests to given data x will be fulfilled one after the other in the order they were emitted in at runtime.
Maybe-writes are ordered by the runtime with respect to reads, writes, maybe-writes, commutative writes and atomic writes. The order is the order in which the data accesses have been requested at runtime.

SpCommutativeWrite(x)

Specifies a commutative write dependency on x, i.e. writes that can be performed in any order.
Multiple successive commutative write requests will be fulfilled one after the other in any order : while a commutative write request cw1 on data x is currently being serviced, all immediately following commutative write request on data x will be put on hold. When cw1 is released one of the immediately following commutative write requests will be serviced. No order is enforced by the runtime as to which one gets serviced next. As an example, if two tasks commutative write to data x, the runtime does not enforce an order as to which tasks gets to write first. The two tasks won't be able to execute in parallel however : while one of the two task is executing and writing to data x the other task won't be able to execute because its commutative write dependency request won't be serviced until the first task has finished executing and has released its commutative write dependency on x.
Commutative writes are ordered by the runtime with respect to reads, writes, maybe-writes and atomic writes. The order is the order in which the data accesses have been requested at runtime.

SpAtomicWrite(x)

Specifies an atomic write dependency on x.
Atomic write requests are always fulfilled by default, i.e. an atomic write request awr2 on data x immediately following another atomic write request awr1 on data x does not have to wait for awr1 to be fulfilled in order to be serviced. Multiple successive atomic writes will be performed in any order. As an example, if two tasks atomically write to data x, the runtime does not enforce an order as to which tasks gets to atomically write first and the two tasks will be able to execute in parallel. The atomic writes will be committed to memory in whatever order they will be committed at runtime, the point is that the Specx runtime does not enforce an order on the atomic writes.
Atomic writes are ordered by the runtime with respect to reads, writes, maybe-writes and commutative writes. The order is the order in which the data accesses have been requested at runtime.

All data dependency constructors for scalar data should be given an lvalue as the argument.

Non scalar data

We also provide analogous contructors for aggregates of data values from arrays :

SpReadArray(<XTy> *x, <ViewTy> view)
SpWriteArray(<XTy> *x, <ViewTy> view)
SpMaybeWriteArray(<XTy> *x, <ViewTy> view)
SpCommutativeWriteArray(<XTy> *x, <ViewTy> view)
SpAtomicWriteArray(<XTy> *x, <ViewTy> view)

x should be a pointer to a contiguous buffer (the array).
view should be an object representing the collection of specific indices of the array elements that are affected by the dependency. It should be iterable (in the sense "stl iterable"). An example implementation of such a view class can be found in Src/Utils/SpArrayView.hpp.

Wrapper objects for callables

We provide two wrapper objects for callables whose purpose is to tag a callable to inform the runtime system of whether it should interpret the given callable as CPU or GPU code:

SpCpuCode(<CallableTy> c)

Specifies that the callable c represents CPU code.

SpGpuCode(<CallableTy> c)

Specifies that the callable c represents GPU code.

In both cases the callable c can be a lambda or a functor lvalue or rvalue.

A callable that appears as an argument of a call to the task method of a SpRuntime object without being wrapped into one the above two objects will be interpreted by the runtime as CPU code by default.

Task viewer interface

The task viewer interface specifies ways to interact with the task object returned by the task method of SpRuntime.
The exact type returned by the task method of SpRuntime is not important and in practice it should be type deduced (auto) in your programs. You can however find the definition of the returned type in Src/Tasks/SpAbstractTask.hpp.

Main methods available on task objects returned by task calls

bool isOver()

Returns true if the task has finished executing.

void wait()

This method is a blocking call which waits until the task is finished.

<ReturnType> getValue()

This method is a blocking call which retrieves the result value of the task (if it has any).
It first waits for the task to finish and then retrieves the result value.

void setTaskName(const std::string& inTaskName)

Assigns the name inTaskName to the task.
This change will be reflected in debug printouts, task graph and trace generation output. By default the task will be named as the demangled string of the typeid name of the callable of the task.

std::string getTaskName()

Retrieves the name of the task.
Speculative versions of tasks will have an apostrophe appended to their name.

GPU/CUDA (Work-in-progress)

The CMake variable SPECX_COMPILE_WITH_CUDA must be set to ON, for example with the command cmake .. -DSPECX_COMPILE_WITH_CUDA=ON. If CMake is not able to find nvcc, one must set CUDACXX env variable or the CMake variable CMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER to the path to nvcc. On can set CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES to select the CUDA sm to compile for.

Here is an example of a task on CUDA GPU:

tg.task(SpWrite(a),// Dependencies are expressed as usually
    SpCuda([](SpDeviceDataView<std::vector<int>> paramA) { // Each parameter is converted into an SpDeviceDataView
        // The kernel call be called using the dedicated stream
        inc_var<<<1,1,0,SpCudaUtils::GetCurrentStream()>>>(paramA.array(),
                                                           paramA.nbElements());
    })
);

Currently, the call to a CUDA kernel must be done in a .cu file. There are three types of SpDeviceDataView that offer different methods: one for the is_trivially_copyable objects, one for the std::vectors of is_trivially_copyable objects, and one customize by the users. In the latest, it is required to provide the following methods:

    std::size_t memmovNeededSize() const{
    ...
    }

    template <class DeviceMemmov>
    void memmovHostToDevice(DeviceMemmov& mover, void* devicePtr, std::size_t size){
    ...
    }

    template <class DeviceMemmov>
    void memmovDeviceToHost(DeviceMemmov& mover, void* devicePtr, std::size_t size){
    ...
    }
    
    auto getDeviceDataDescription() const{
    ...
    }

The type returned by getDeviceDataDescription must be copiable and have an empty constructor. It should be used to help retreive the data from the raw pointer when calling a device kernel.

GPU/HIP (Work-in-progress)

The CMake variable SPECX_COMPILE_WITH_HIP must be set to ON, for example with the command cmake .. -DSPECX_COMPILE_WITH_HIP=ON. The C++ compiler must also be set with for example CXX=hipcc, so a working command line should be CXX=hipcc cmake .. -DSPECX_COMPILE_WITH_HIP=ON. On can set GPU_TARGETS to select the HIP sm to compile for. This has been tested with HIP version: 6.1.

Here is an example of a task on HIP GPU:

tg.task(SpWrite(a),// Dependencies are expressed as usually
    SpHip([](SpDeviceDataView<std::vector<int>> paramA) { // Each parameter is converted into an SpDeviceDataView
        // The kernel call be called using the dedicated stream
        inc_var<<<1,1,0,SpHipUtils::GetCurrentStream()>>>(paramA.array(),
                                                           paramA.nbElements());
    })
);

Currently, the call to a HIP kernel must be done in a .cu file. There are three types of SpDeviceDataView that offer different methods: one for the is_trivially_copyable objects, one for the std::vectors of is_trivially_copyable objects, and one customize by the users. In the latest, it is required to provide the following methods:

    std::size_t memmovNeededSize() const{
    ...
    }

    template <class DeviceMemmov>
    void memmovHostToDevice(DeviceMemmov& mover, void* devicePtr, std::size_t size){
    ...
    }

    template <class DeviceMemmov>
    void memmovDeviceToHost(DeviceMemmov& mover, void* devicePtr, std::size_t size){
    ...
    }
    
    auto getDeviceDataDescription() const{
    ...
    }

The type returned by getDeviceDataDescription must be copiable and have an empty constructor. It should be used to help retreive the data from the raw pointer when calling a device kernel.

MPI

The CMake variable SPECX_COMPILE_WITH_MPI must be set to ON, for example with the command cmake .. -DSPECX_COMPILE_WITH_MPI=ON.

Data Serialization and Deserialization

Data can be send to target MPI processes using the mpiSend and mpiRecv methods of the SpTaskGraph object.

To be moved across computing nodes, the objects must be one of the following types:

Be an instance of a class that inherits SpAbstractSerializable (see below for more details).
Supports the methods getRawDataSize, getRawData and restoreRawData, which will be used to extract the data to be sent, and restore them.
Be a POD type (well, have is_standard_layout_v and is_trivial_v returning true, which means that having a pointer in a struct will not be detected and could be an issue).
Be a vector of the types defined in 1, 2 or 3.

It is the function SpGetSerializationType that performs the detection and assigns the corresponding SpSerializationType value to each object. The detection is performed in the order written above.

For examples, refer to the unit tests under UTests/MPI.

Type 3 - POD

For built-in and POD types these methods work automatically:

SpTaskGraph<SpSpeculativeModel::SP_NO_SPEC> tg;
int a = 1;
int b = 0;
...
tg.mpiSend(b, 1, 0);
tg.mpiRecv(b, 1, 1);

Type 1 - SpAbstractSerializable

However, user-defined types must enable support for MPI serialization and deserialization. To do that they must implement these steps.

Include "MPI/SpSerializer.hpp"
Make the class a public subclass of the SpAbstractSerializable class
Provide a constructor that takes as argument a non-const referene to SpDeserializer. This constructor allows an object of the class to be constructed from the deserialization.
Provide a public method "serialize" with argument a non-const reference to SpSerializer. This method serializes the object into the input SpSerializer object.

These steps in detail are shown in the following example:

#include "MPI/SpSerializer.hpp"

class int_data_holder : public SpAbstractSerializable {
public:
	int_data_holder(int value = 0) : value{value} {}
	int_data_holder(SpDeserializer &deserializer) : value(deserializer.restore<decltype(value)>("value")) {
	}
	
	void serialize(SpSerializer &serializer) const final {
		serializer.append(value, "value");
	}

	int get() const { return value; }
	void set(int value) {
		this->value = value;
	}
private:
	int value;
};
...
SpTaskGraph<SpSpeculativeModel::SP_NO_SPEC> tg;
int_data_holder a = 1;
int_data_holder b = 0;
...
tg.mpiSend(b, 1, 0);
tg.mpiRecv(b, 1, 1);

Type 2 - Direct access

class DirectAccessClass {
    int key;
public:
    const unsigned char* getRawData() const {
        return reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char*>(&key);
    }
    std::size_t getRawDataSize() const {
        return sizeof(key);
    }

    void restoreRawData(const unsigned char* ptr, std::size_t size){
