| Overview |
|
IBM Parallel Environment for AIX® 5L, V4.2 (Parallel Environment V4.2) contains functional enhancements for high-performance computing customers whose parallel applications use the industry-standard Message Passing Interface (MPI).
MPI is a message passing library specification that was developed by a group of industry, academic, and government experts. It serves as a common standard for developing parallel message passing applications that run a variety of computer systems.
IBM's implementation of MPI exploits an optimized low-level application programming interface (LAPI) designed to maximize parallel application performance on clusters made up of IBM POWER3™, POWER4™, and POWER5™ servers running AIX 5L V5.2 and V5.3.
Parallel Environment V4.2 runs on the IBM p5 servers and IBM pSeries® High Performance Switch (HPS) (on AIX 5L V5.2 only) and can coexist in
clusters managed by Cluster Systems Management (CSM). This release also includes the following
enhancements:
- Remote direct memory access (RDMA) for bulk data copy/transfer of large contiguous messages on the HPS only
- Striping of messages over multiple adapters attached to the pSeries HPS
- MPI/LAPI support for up to 128 tasks per node using shared memory
- Support for LoadLeveler® job launch enhancements with increased flexibility and processing options
- Support for up to 8,192 tasks with improved memory utilization for large jobs
- MPI collectives algorithm and optimization improvements
- MPI shared memory collectives that exploit AIX 5L V5.3 cross-memory attach enhancements
- MPI/LAPI point-to-point messages in shared memory that use AIX 5L V5.3 cross-memory attachment enhancements
- MPI/LAPI performance statistics
This is the last release of IBM Parallel Environment for AIX 5L that will support Parallel Systems Support Programs (PSSP), the SP™ Switch2, and POWER3 servers.
Parallel Environment V4.2 does not support the SP Switch.

| Description |
|
This release of IBM Parallel Environment for AIX 5L contains the following enhancements:
IBM eServer® pSeries High Performance Switch running on AIX 5L V5.2
- Parallel Environment now operates with the HPS using low-level application programming interface (LAPI) to optimize Message Passing Interface (MPI) performance over the switch in user space.
- Parallel Environment now supports remote direct memory access (RDMA) for bulk data copy/transfer of large contiguous messages on the HPS only.
- Parallel Environment supports striping of messages over multiple adapters attached to the pSeries HPS. This support is enabled by run-time environment variables and is transparent to the user application.
- A parallel job that uses both MPI and LAPI may specify shared access to the user space communication subsystem. This allows more efficient use of the processor and adapter resources on the HPS.
Parallel System Support Programs (PSSP) and SP Switch2: This version of Parallel Environment also operates with SP Switch2 on selected node types of the RS/6000® SP or Cluster 1600, with support provided by PSSP. This is the last release of Parallel Environment that will provide this support. Parallel Environment V4.2 does not support the SP Switch.
Security and usability
- Statistics collection and printing enhancements
- Co-scheduler for parallel task scheduling
Support for POWER5 and AIX 5L V5.3
- POWER5 hardware counters.
- Simultaneous multithreading (SMT). SMT mode is supported on AIX 5L V5.3. Performance of SMT depends on the characteristics of the user application.

| Product positioning |
|
Parallel Environment is a must for high-performance cluster customers who demand effective tools for developing, debugging, analyzing, tuning, and running parallel C/C++ and Fortran applications that use the industry-standard MPI. It is designed to be MPI compliant, to ease application porting and development, and to maximize application performance on pSeries clusters.
Remote direct memory access (RDMA) provides overlap between computation and communication for large messages, allowing more CPU cycles to be devoted to users' problems.
Parallel Environment/LAPI is the only way to exploit the performance features of the HPS, both low
latency (approximately 5 microseconds on a 1.7 GHz p655+) and high bandwidth (up to 1.8 GB/sec/link
on a 1.7 GHz p655+ with RDMA enabled). Actual performance is dependent on the machine type and
hardware configuration used. Older model machines tend to perform slower than the latest highest
CPU frequency machines.

PSSP is not required when Parallel Environment is used on a stand-alone or cluster of pSeries or RS/6000 workstations or servers.
- If user space batch or interactive jobs are to be submitted under Parallel Environment, then LoadLeveler® V3.3 (5765-E69) is required. Minimal support for a customer-supplied scheduler is provided via sample code.
- XL FORTRAN for AIX V9.1 (5724-I08), or later, if Fortran programs are to be run.
-
For C/C++, one of the following:
-
VisualAge® C++ Professional for AIX, V6.0, (5765-F56), or later, if C or C++ programs are to be
run.
IBM C for AIX Version 6 is now part of VisualAge C++ Professional for AIX, V6.0, and is also available as a separate file set.
- IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX (5724-I11), or later, supports the latest POWER5 architecture.
-
VisualAge® C++ Professional for AIX, V6.0, (5765-F56), or later, if C or C++ programs are to be
run.
Compatibility: IBM Parallel Environment for AIX 5L, V4.2 is a functional enhancement and complete replacement of IBM Parallel Environment for AIX 5L, V4.1.
MPI programs compiled with prior versions of Parallel Environment using shared library support are binary compatible. That is, executables built using Parallel Environment V2.4, V3.1, V3.2, and V4.1 will run correctly with Parallel Environment V4.2.
Applications compiled with XL High Performance Fortran for AIX, V1.3.1 (5765-612) will run correctly, but will use the threaded MPI library.
Parallel ESSL for AIX 5L, V3.2 (5765-F84) works with Parallel Environment for AIX 5L, V4.2.
When Parallel Environment V4.2 is run with PSSP, the AIX 64-bit kernel is supported. When Parallel Environment V4.2 operates on the HPS, the AIX 64-bit kernel is supported. Stand-alone servers, which will use shared memory for inter-task communication, and IP-connected servers may use either the 32-bit or 64-bit kernel.
Note: Support for the AIX 32-bit kernel is available via special bid for PSSP.
Limitations: Parallel Environment V4.2 runs with PSSP V3.5. This is the last release of IBM Parallel Environment for AIX 5L that will run on PSSP.
When Parallel Environment is used with the SP system, Parallel Environment jobs can only run in a system partition that has all of its nodes at the same PSSP level.
LAPI is distributed as part of AIX 5L V5.2 or V5.3. When Parallel Environment is used in conjunction with PSSP, it uses a version of LAPI shipped with PSSP.
SP nodes are only supported when running the 64-bit kernel. Stand-alone servers are supported both with the 32-bit and 64-bit kernel.
Parallel Environment V4.2 does not support the SP Switch.
Performance considerations: Parallel Environment and the MPI library are intended for use in High Performance Computing (HPC) applications that can exploit multiple processors to achieve parallelism, using message passing to pass data among the processors where necessary. In such environments, performance of the interconnecting network is important.
This version of Parallel Environment exploits the features of the pSeries High Performance Switch to achieve high bandwidth and low latency for messages between clustered pSeries servers. The basic technique employed, called user space, reserves a portion of the High Performance Switch adapter for use by a user process, which then can read/write message data directly onto the interconnect without having to copy the data from/to the AIX kernel.
The user space support is provided by LAPI, which is optimized for the features of the High Performance Switch, and supports both packet mode and bulk transfer mode data transfers with reliable delivery. Maximum bandwidth is achieved when the RDMA mode is used in conjunction with large contiguous messages.
For additional performance, shared memory may be used for point-to-point passing of data among processors within an SMP without changes to the application. In 64-bit mode, there are shared memory-based enhancements to certain collective communication routines.
For convenience in developing applications, the user may select UDP/IP as the packet transport rather than user space. This is done via a run-time specification and is transparent to the application. Performance does not match user space, but the application under development ties up fewer dedicated resources.
Jobs with large task counts are often constrained by the amount of memory available to a process. This version of Parallel Environment uses less memory for jobs with large task counts than prior versions and may improve performance by allowing a larger problem data space to be maintained in real memory.
This announcement satisfies or partially satisfies requirements from one or more of the worldwide user group communities. Groups include Australasian SHARE/GUIDE (ASG), COMMON, COMMON Europe, GUIDE International, G.U.I.D.E. Europe, Japan GUIDE/SHARE (JGS), Guide Latin American (LAG), SHARE EUROPE, SP-XXL, and SHARE Incorporated. Requirements satisfied include:
- Support for a larger number of tasks
- SMP collective communication scalability
- MPI memory scalability
Planning information
Customer responsibilities: For all processors within a parallel job, the same release level of the IBM Parallel Environment for AIX 5L software is required.
For the IBM pSeries High Performance Switch, you need to install and configure the switch, and ensure that it is accessible via IP from all nodes on which Parallel Environment is to be installed. If LoadLeveler is being used, LoadLeveler must be configured with the appropriate network definitions, pools, and classes.
Direct customer support: For technical support or assistance, contact your IBM representative or go to
Packaging: The IBM Parallel Environment program package is distributed in one package with the following: one CD-ROM containing the Parallel Environment product. The License Information document is included in softcopy form.
Security, auditability, and control
The announced program uses the security features of the AIX 5L V5.2 or V5.3 operating system. No
additional security enhancements are included in this announcement. The customer is responsible for
evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.
