Appendix 1: Uninstalling SPEChpc 2021

Note: links to SPEChpc 2021 documents on this web page assume that you are reading the page from a directory that also contains the other SPEChpc 2021 documents. If by some chance you are reading this web page from a location where the links do not work, try accessing the referenced documents at one of the following locations:

Installation Steps

The SPEChpc 2021 suite has been tested under Linux. The benchmark environment may work with Mac OS X and other UNIX systems but has not been tested. Your benchmark can be installed under many operating systems.

Reminder: the SPEC license allows you to install on multiple systems as you may wish within your institution; but you may not share the software with the public.

The installation procedure for Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X is as follows:

1. Review Pre-requisites

Review the hardware and software requirements, in system-requirements.html

2. Create destination. Have enough space, avoid space.

Create a directory on the destination disk. You should make sure that you have a disk that has at least 8GB free. (For more information on disk usage, see system-requirements.html.)

Don't put spaces in the path: even if you make it through the installation (doubtful), you are just asking for trouble, because there may be multiple programs from both SPEC and from your compiler that expect space to be an argument delimiter, not part of a path name. (This being the *Unix* install guide, you wouldn't have thought of using spaces in in the first place, would you?)

3. Mount the Benchmark ISO

You can either burn a DVD of the benchmark ISO file, or you can just directly mount the benchmark ISO file you have downloaded. If you choose to mount the benchmark ISO file, the following examples may help you get it mounted. The examples assume the benchmark has been saved in the file hpc2021-1.1.n.iso (where "n" is the patch release number). The target location listed in these examples is /mnt but could be anything you have created.

After you are done installing, you may want to unmount the benchmark ISO. This can be done by making sure you are no longer in the install mount point and then issue the comman umount /mnt. This will unmount the filesystem. If you are on Solaris, you may also want to remove the lofi device that was created with lofiadm command. See the man page for further instructions.

AIX: loopmount -i hpc2021-1.1.n.iso -o "-V cdrfs -o ro" -m /mnt
Linux: mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop hpc2021-1.1.n.iso /mnt
Solaris: mount -F hsfs -o ro `lofiadm -a hpc2021-1.1.n.iso` /mnt

If you have created a DVD, insert the the DVD, and, if necessary, issue a mount command for it. For many operating systems, the DVD will be automatically mounted. If not, you may have to enter an explicit mount command. If your operating system supports the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol extensions to ISO 9660, be sure to select them, unless they are the default. The following examples are not intended to be comprehensive, but may get you started or at least give you clues which manpages to read:

AIX: mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom
HP-UX: mount -o cdcase /dev/disk/disk5 /mnt/cdrom/
Linux: mount -t iso9660 -o ro,exec /dev/cdrom /mnt
Solaris: If Volume Management is running, you should find that the DVD is automatically mounted, as /cdrom/label_of_volume/ If not, you should be able to mount it with commands similar to this:
mkdir /mnt1
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /mnt1
Virtual Machines If you are running in a virtual machine, you will need to convince the host operating system to allow your guest OS to have access to the DVD. The means of accomplishing this will vary. For reference, the following worked with a Linux guest running under Virtual Box V4.0.6, with Windows 7 as the host: (1) Shut down the virtual machine (don't just pause it; tell it to run its shutdown procedure). (2) The Settings dialog should now be visible (it's grayed out if the machine state is not shut down). (3) Use Settings to configure the DVD drive as both available to the guest OS and as "passthrough". (4) Boot the virtual machine. (5) Log in. (6) Insert the DVD. (7) At this point, the DVD was automatically mounted as /media/SPECHPC.

Note that you may need root privileges to mount the DVD or benchmark ISO.

4. Set your directory to the Benchmark ISO

If you haven't already done so by now, start a Terminal window (aka "command window", "shell", "console", "terminal emulator", "character cell window", "xterm", etc.) and issue a cd command to set your current working directory to the directory where the benchmark is mounted. The exact command will vary depending on the label on the media, the operating system, and the devices configured. It might look something like one of these:

$ cd /Volumes/SPECHPC
$ cd /media/SPECHPC
$ cd /dvdrom/HPC2021 
$ cd /mnt

5. Use install.sh

Type:

./install.sh

q. Do you have to be root? Occasionally, users of Unix systems have asked whether it is necessary to elevate privileges, or to become 'root', prior to entering the above command. SPEC recommends (*) that you do not become root, because: (1) To the best of SPEC's knowledge, no component of SPEChpc 2021 needs to modify system directories, nor does any component need to call privileged system interfaces. (2) Therefore, if you find that it appears that there is some reason why you need to be root, the cause is likely to be outside the SPEC toolset - for example, disk protections, or quota limits. (3) For safe benchmarking, it is better to avoid being root, for the same reason that it is a good idea to wear seat belts in a car: accidents happen, humans make mistakes. For example, if you accidentally type:

kill 1

when you meant to say:

kill %1

then you will very grateful if you are not privileged at that moment.

(*) This is only a recommendation, not a requirement nor a rule.

5.a. Destination selection

Depending on your installation type, you may be prompted for a destination directory:

SPEChpc 2021 Installation
Top of the SPEChpc tree is '/Volumes/SPECHPC'
Enter the directory you wish to install to (e.g. /usr/HPC2021)
/local/home/jli/HPC2021

When answering the above question, note that you will have to use syntax acceptable to sh (so you might need to say something like "$HOME/mydir" instead of "~/mydir"). As mentioned above, don't use spaces.

Note: You can also specify the destination directory in the command line, using the -d flag, for example, like this:
./install.sh -d /local/home/jli/HPC2021

The installation procedure will show you the directories that will be used to install from and to. You will see a message such as this one:

Installing FROM /Volumes/SPECHPC
Installing TO /local/home/jli/HPC2021

Is this correct? (Please enter 'yes' or 'no') 
yes

Enter "yes" if the directories match your expectations. If there is an error, enter "no", and the procedure will exit, and you can try again, possibly using the -d flag mentioned in the note above.

5.b. Toolset selection

The installation procedure will attempt to automatically determine your current platform type (hardware architecture, operating system, etc.) In some cases, the tools may identify several candidate matches for your architecture.

You typically do not have to worry about whether the toolset is an exact match to your current environment, because the toolset selection does not affect your benchmark scores, and because the installation procedure does a series of tests to ensure that the selected tools work on your system.

Examples: (1) the installation procedure may determine that SPEC tools built on version "N" of your operating system are entirely functional on version "N+3". (2) Tools built on one Linux distribution often work correctly on another: notably, certain versions of SuSE are compatible, from a tools point of view, with certain versions of RedHat. (3) Tools built on AMD chips with 64-bit instructions ("amd64") are compatible with Intel chips that implement the same instruction set under the names "EM64T" or "Intel 64" (but not compatibie with chips that implement the Itanium instruction set, abbreviated "ia64").

Mostly, you don't need to worry about all this, because the installation procedure does a comprehensive set of tests to verify compatibility.

If at least one candidate match is found, you will see a message such as:

The following toolset is expected to work on your platform.  If the
automatically installed one does not work, please re-run install.sh and
exclude that toolset using the '-e' switch.

The toolset selected will not affect your benchmark scores.

linux-x86_64                  For x86_64 Linux systems
                              Built on Oracle Linux 6.0 with
                              GCC v4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13)

If the installation procedure is unable to determine your system architecture, you will see a message such as:

We do not appear to have vendor supplied binaries for your
architecture.  You will have to compile the tool binaries by
yourself.  Please read the file

    /Volumes/SPECHPC/Docs/tools_build.html

for instructions on how you might be able to build them.

If you see that message, please stop here, and examine the file tools-build.html.

Note: If the tools that are automatically installed on your system do not work, but you know that another set of tools that is in the list will work, you can exclude the ones that do not work. You may be instructed to do this during the first installation. Use the -e flag for install.sh, for example:

./install.sh -e linux-x86_64

The above will cause the tools for linux-x86_64 to be excluded from consideration.

Alternatively, you can explicitly direct which toolset is to be used with the -u flag for install.sh, for example:

./install.sh -u linux-x86_64-rhel8

The above will cause the tools for linux-x86_64-rhel8 to be installed, even if another toolset would have been chosen automatically. If you specify tools that do not work on your system, the installation procedure will stop without installing any tools.

libnsl.so:In order to be compatible with older Linux OS, the tools are linked against libnsl.so.1 which has since been depricated. However, most newer OSs install it for compatibility or simply link libnsl.so.1 to libnsl.so.2. If the 'linux-x86_64' tools package is used, but you get runtime errors from the tools, such as 'specperl', check to see is libnsl.so.1 is installed on your systes. Note that RHEL 8 does not provide this compatibility by default. You will need to install libnsl.so.1, or use the linux-x86_64-rhel8 toolset via "install.sh -u linux-x86_64-rhel8".

5.c. The files are unpacked and tested

Thousands of files will be unpacked from the distribution media, and quietly installed on your destination disk. (If you would prefer to see them all named you can set VERBOSE=1 in your environment before installing the kit.) Various tests will be performed to verify that the files have been correctly installed, and that the tools work correctly. You should see summary messages such as these:

=================================================================

Installation successful.  Source the shrc or cshrc in
/local/home/jli/HPC2021                          <<-- your directory
to set up your environment for the benchmark.

At this point, you will have consumed about 800MB of disk space on the destination drive.

6. Source shrc or cshrc

Change your current directory to the top-level SPEC directory and source either shrc or cshrc:

The effect of the above commands is to set up environment variables and paths for SPEC.

From this point forward, we are testing basic abilities of the SPEChpc 2021 kit, including compiling benchmarks and running them. You may skip the remaining steps if all of the following are true:

  1. You are confident that the previous steps have gone smoothly.
  2. You will not be compiling the benchmarks.
  3. Someone else has given you pre-compiled binaries.

Warning: even if someone else supplies binaries, you remain responsible for compliance with SPEC's Fair Use rule and the SPEChpc run rules.

7. Try to build one benchmark

Change to the config directory, and test that you can build a benchmark using a config file supplied for your system. For example:

$ cd $SPEC/config
$ cp Example_nvhpc.cfg nv.cfg
$ runhpc --config=nv.cfg --action=build --tune=base -ranks 40 505.lbm_t

The above command assumes that you can identify a config file (in the directory $SPEC/config) that is appropriate for you. In this case, the user started with Example_nvhpc.cfg. Your starting point will probably differ; here are some resources to help:

The "--tune=base" above indicates that we want to use only the simple tuning, if more than one kind of tuning is supplied in the config file. The "-ranks 40" indicates that we want to use 40 ranks.

8. Try running one benchmark with the test dataset

Test that you can run a benchmark, using the minimal input set - the "test" workload. For example:

$ runhpc --config=nv.cfg -ranks 40 --size=test --noreportable --tune=base --iterations=1 505.lbm_t

The "--noreportable" ensures that the tools will allow us to run just a single benchmark instead of the whole suite, "--iterations=1" says just run the benchmark once.

Check the results in $SPEC/result

9. Try a real dataset

Test that you can run a benchmark using the real input set - the "reference" workload. For example:

$ runhpc --config=nv.cfg -ranks 40 --size=ref --noreportable --tune=base --iterations=1 505.lbm_t

Check the results in $SPEC/result.

10. Try a full (reportable) run

If everything has worked up to this point, you may wish to start a full run, perhaps leaving your computer to run overnight. The extended test will demand significant resources from your machine, including computational power and memory of several types. In order to avoid surprises, before starting the reportable run, you should review system-requirements.html.

Have a look at runhpc.html to learn how to do a full run of the suite.

The command runhpc -h will give you a brief summary of the many options for runhpc.

To run a reportable run of the Small suite with simple (baseline) tuning:

$ runhpc --config=nv.cfg -ranks 40 --reportable --tune=base tiny

Example Installation

Here is a complete Linux installation, with interspersed commentary. This example follows the steps listed above. We assume that Steps 1 through 3 are already complete (the pre-requisites are met, we have enough space, the benchmark is mounted).

Step 4: Set the current working directory to the benchmark mount point:

$ cd /media/SPECHPC

Step 5: Invoke install.sh. When prompted, we enter the destination directory:

$ ./install.sh 
SPEC HPC Installation

Top of the HPC tree is '/mount/HPC2021'

Installing FROM /mount/HPC2021
Installing TO /local/home/jli/HPC2021

Is this correct? (Please enter 'yes' or 'no')
yes
The following toolset is expected to work on your platform.  If the
automatically installed one does not work, please re-run install.sh and
exclude that toolset using the '-e' switch.

The toolset selected will not affect your benchmark scores.

                              Built on Oracle Linux 6.0 with
                              GCC v4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13)

Step 6: Now, we change the current working directory from the install media to the location of the new SPEChpc 2021 tree. Since this user has a Bourne compatible shell, shrc is sourced (for csh compatible shells, use cshrc).

Next, the config file Example_nvhpc.cfg has been picked as a starting point for this system.

Just above, various compile and link commands may or may not be echoed to your screen, depending on the settings in your config file. At this point, we've accomplished a lot. The SPEC tree is installed, and we have verified that a benchmark can be compiled using the C compiler.

Step 8: Now try running a benchmark, using the minimal test workload. The test workload runs in a tiny amount of time and does a minimal verification that the benchmark executable can at least start up:

Done. The suite is installed, and we can run at least one benchmark for real (see the report of the time spent in 505.lbm_t above).


Appendix 1: Uninstalling SPEChpc 2021

At this time, SPEC does not provide an uninstall utility for SPEChpc 2021. Confusingly, there is a file named uninstall.sh in the top directory, but it does not remove the whole product; it only removes the SPEC tool set, and does not affect the benchmarks (which consume the bulk of the disk space).

To remove SPEChpc 2021, use rm -Rf on the directory where you installed the suite, for example:

  rm -Rf /local/home/jli/HPC2021

If you have been using the output_root feature, you will have to track those down separately. Therefore, prior to removing the tree, you might want to look for mentions of output root, for example:

Unix:
    cd $SPEC/config
    grep output_root *cfg

Note: instead of deleting the entire directory tree, some users find it useful to keep the config and result subdirectories, while deleting everything else.
