CyberShake Study 14.2

CyberShake Study 14.2 is a computational study to calculate physics-based probabilistic seismic hazard curves under 4 different conditions: CVM-S4.26 with CPU, CVM-S4.26 with GPU, a 1D model with GPU, and CVM-H without a GTL with CPU. It uses the Graves and Pitarka (2010) rupture variations and the UCERF2 ERF. Both the SGT calculations and the post-processing will be done on Blue Waters. The goal is to calculate the standard Southern California site list (286 sites) used in previous CyberShake studies so we can produce comparison curves and maps, and understand the impact of the SGT codes and velocity models on the CyberShake seismic hazard. The system is a heterogenous Cray XE6/XK7 consisting of more than 22,000 XE6 compute nodes (each containing two AMD Interlagos processors) augmented by more than 4000 XK7 compute nodes (each containing one AMDInterlagos processor and one NVIDIA GK110 "Kepler" accelerator) in a single high speed Gemini interconnection fabric.

Computational Status

Study 14.2 began at 6:35:18 am PST on Tuesday, February 18, 2014 and completed at 12:48:47 pm on Tuesday, March 4, 2014.

BBP 1D: Velocity Model ID 8

AWP-ODC-CPU: SGT Variation ID 6
AWP-ODC-GPU: SGT Variation ID 8

Graves & Pitarka 2010: Rupture Variation Scenario ID 4

Goals

Science Goals

1. Calculate a hazard map using CVM-S4.26.
2. Calculate a hazard map using CVM-H without a GTL.
3. Calculate a hazard map using a 1D model obtained by averaging.

Technical Goals

1. Show that Blue Waters can be used to perform both the SGT and post-processing phases
2. Recalculate Performance Metrics for CyberShake Calculation - CyberShake Time to Solution Description
3. Compare the performance and queue times when using AWP-ODC-SGT CPU vs AWP-ODC-SGT GPU codes.

To meet these goals, we will calculate 4 hazard maps:

• AWP-ODC-SGT CPU with CVM-S4.26
• AWP-ODC-SGT GPU with CVM-S4.26
• AWP-ODC-SGT CPU with CVM-H 11.9, no GTL
• AWP-ODC-SGT GPU with BBP 1D

Verification

For verification, we will calculate hazard curves for PAS, WNGC, USC, and SBSM under all 4 conditions.

Sites

We are proposing to run 286 sites around Southern California. Those sites include 46 points of interest, 27 precarious rock sites, 23 broadband station locations, 43 20 km gridded sites, and 147 10 km gridded sites. All of them fall within the Southern California box except for Diablo Canyon and Pioneer Town. You can get a CSV file listing the sites here. A KML file listing the sites is available here.

Fig 1: Sites selected for Study 2.3 Purple are gridded sites, red are precarious rocks, orange are SCSN stations, and yellow are sites of interest.

Performance Enhancements (over Study 13.4)

SGT Codes

• Switched to running a single job to generate and write the velocity mesh, as opposed to separate jobs for generating and merging into 1 file.
• We have chosen PX and PY to be 10 x 10 for the GPU SGT code; this seems to be a good balance between efficiency and reduced walltimes. X and Y dimensions must be multiples of 20 so that each processor has an even number of grid points in the X and Y dimensions.
• We chose the number of CPU processors dynamically, so that each is responsible for ~64x50x50 grid points.

PP Codes

• Switched to SeisPSA_multi, which synthesizes multiple rupture variations per invocation. Planning to use a factor of 5, so only ~83,000 invocations will be needed. Reduces the I/O, since we don't have to read in the extracted SGT files for each rupture variation.

Workflow Management

• A single workflow is created which contains the SGT, the PP, and the hazard curve workflows.
• Added a cron job on shock to monitor the proxy certificates and send email when the certificates have <24 hours remaining.
• Modified the AutoPPSubmit.py cron workflow submission script to first check the Blue Waters jobmanagers and not submit jobs if it cannot authenticate.
• Added file locking on pending.txt so only 1 auto-submit instance runs at a time.
• Added logic to the planning scripts to capture the TC, the SC, and the RC path and write them to a metadata file.
• We only keep the stderr and stdout from a job if it fails.
• Added an hourly cron job to clear out held jobs from the HTCondor queue.

Lessons Learned

• AWP_ODC_GPU code, under certain situations, produced incorrect filenames.

• Incorrect dependency in DAX generator - NanCheckY was a child of AWP_SGTx.

• Try out Pegasus cleanup - accidentally blew away running directory using find, and later accidentally deleted about 400 sets of SGTs.

• 50 connections per IP is too many for hpc-login2 gridftp server; brings it down. Try using a dedicated server next time with more aggregated files.

Computational and Data Estimates

We will use a 200-node 2-week XK reservation and a 700-node 2-week XE reservation.

Computational Time

SGTs, CPU: 150 node-hrs/site x 286 sites x 2 models = 86K node-hours, XE nodes

SGTs, GPU: 90 node-hrs/site x 286 sites x 2 models = 52K node-hours, XK nodes

Study 13.4 had 29% overrun, so 1.29 x (86K + 52K) = 180K node-hours for SGTs

PP: 60 node-hrs/site x 286 sites x 4 models = 70K node-hours, XE nodes

Study 13.4 had 35% overrun on PP, so 1.35 x 70K = 95K node-hours

Total: 275K node-hours

Storage Requirements

Blue Waters

Unpurged disk usage to store SGTs: 40 GB/site x 286 sites x 4 models = 45 TB

Purged disk usage: (11 GB/site seismograms + 0.2 GB/site PSA + 690 GB/site temporary) x 286 sites x 4 models = 783 TB

SCEC

Archival disk usage: 12.3 TB seismograms + 0.2 TB PSA files on scec-04 (has 19 TB free) & 93 GB curves, disaggregations, reports, etc. on scec-00 (931 GB free)

Database usage: 3 rows/rupture variation x 410K rupture variations/site x 286 sites x 4 models = 1.4 billion rows x 151 bytes/row = 210 GB (880 GB free on focal.usc.edu disk)

Temporary disk usage: 5.5 TB workflow logs. We're now not capturing the job output if the job runs successfully, which should save a moderate amount of space. scec-02 has 12 TB free.
