bug#63986: Julia is very slow

[Cayetano Santos via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Hi guix,

  I just noticed that the following line

    julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("BenchmarkTools"); using BenchmarkTools; N = 1000; A = rand(N, N); B = rand(N, N); @btime $A*$B'

  gives around 530 ms in my laptop when using guix provided julia. Same
  behavior when running within a guix container.

  This very same code, using the binary one may download from the julia
  site gives 15 ms.

  I’m using here an up to date guix. As a reference, julia binary
  provided by archlinux takes also 15 ms.

Thanks,

Cayetano Santos

Hi Cayetano,

Cc’in Efraim, Simon, and Nicolas who’ve looked into Julia packaging in
the past.  Hopefully we can get inspiration from Arch’s build recipe!

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hum, the difference seems:

    USE_SYSTEM_DSFMT=0
    USE_SYSTEM_LIBUV=0

which are set to 1 in our Guix recipe; I guess it does not come from
that.  And we link against OpenBLAS and they link against some NETLIB; I
guess it does not come from that.  Well, the other difference could be
“make release” that we do not run.  Maybe?

Somehow, it seems from the ability to exploit the multicore, IIUC.

Using the binary generated by upstream:

I get these time:

compared to ~500ms of v1.8.3 provided by Guix.

I guess the issue is about “threading”.  Most of the time is about
’futex’ in the Guix version.

bug#63986: Julia is very slow

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hey!

The benchmark you posted, Cayetano, is:

  julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("BenchmarkTools"); using BenchmarkTools; N = 1000; A = rand(N, N); B = rand(N, N); @btime $A*$B'

This is a matrix multiplication that gets delegated to the underlying
BLAS right.  Running it under ‘perf record’ confirms it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Samples: 139K of event 'cycles:u', Event count (approx.): 99624880590                             
Overhead  Command      Shared Object               Symbol                                         
  35.27%  .julia-real  libblas.so.3.9.0            [.] dgemm_
   3.99%  .julia-real  libjulia-internal.so.1.8    [.] gc_mark_loop
   2.60%  .julia-real  libjulia-internal.so.1.8    [.] apply_cl
   1.06%  .julia-real  libjulia-internal.so.1.8    [.] jl_get_binding_
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

We’re using libblas.so (presumably from the ‘lapack’ package) and not
OpenBLAS, so no wonder it’s slow.

Could it be that:

         "LIBBLAS=-lopenblas"
         "LIBBLASNAME=libopenblas"

is ineffective?  I think we have a lead!

Are we following all instructions here ?

    https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.8/devdocs/build/distributing/#Notes-on-BLAS-and-LAPACK

I’m thinking about the variables LIBLAPACK and LIBLAPACKNAME.

To complete my previous comment, I just realised that

  Base.USE_BLAS64

gives "true" when running fast. Guix julia gives "false".

I've been having a hard time with that command, so I've been running
julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("BenchmarkTools"); using BenchmarkTools; N = 1000; A = rand(N, N); B = rand(N, N); @time A*B'

I'm not sure if that's useful or not but I didn't see a different with
LIBBLAS* set.

I'll see what comes with switching it to blas64

When I try USE_BLAS64=1, then I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
┌ Error: No loaded BLAS libraries were built with ILP64 support
└ @ LinearAlgebra.BLAS /tmp/guix-build-julia-1.8.3.drv-0/julia-1.8.3/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.8/LinearAlgebra/src/blas.jl:155

And from the documentation above, it reads:

        [...] while on 64-bit architectures, Julia builds OpenBLAS to
        use 64-bit integers (ILP64). It is essential that all Julia
        functions that call BLAS and LAPACK API routines use integers of
        the correct width.

Well using the patch attached, I get:

    6.884 ms (2 allocations: 7.63 MiB)

compared to the previous

    494.345 ms (2 allocations: 7.63 MiB)

WDYT about this patch?

Looks like it should be "LIBBLAS=-lopenblas"

It might need some tuning anyway, currently we have julia for i686 and
switching to solely openblas-ilp64 we'd lose 32-bit support.

I also noticed the julia expects the 64-bit openblas to be libopenblas64
(which happens to be what Debian¹ has). Would we need to adapt anything
in stdlib/OpenBLAS_jll/src/OpenBLAS_jll.jl?

Also, are we supposed to build lapack with our openblas as an input?

Being used to Arch, it seems to me the way they do things is the way to
go, or at least, a good reference (other than the support for 32-bit)

Yes, indeed.  This attached patch conditionally switches.

Well, the current recipe could be improved but let focus on the current
bug report.  And I guess the slowness come from an incorrect use of BLAS
for x86-64.  That seems fixed by the patch, no?

Should it be ‘target-64bit?’ instead?

Thumbs up for finding the solution!

Well, I picked target-x86-64? because the recipe contains,

         ,@(if (target-aarch64?)
             `("USE_BLAS64=0")
             '())

so using target-64bit? would apply USE_BLAS64=1 to aarch64 when it was
not.  Well, since I know few about this architecture, I have tried to
keep the way it was.  Somehow, I have no opinion about what is best. :-)

Using my patch, it fails with:

Error in testset OpenBLAS_jll:

Well, I am still missing why the expression

  dlsym(OpenBLAS_jll.libopenblas_handle,
  #= /tmp/guix-build-julia-1.8.3.drv-0/julia-1.8.3/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.8/OpenBLAS_jll/test/runtests.jl:16 =#
  @blasfunc(openblas_set_num_threads); throw_error = false)

is evaluated to nothing.  Any idea?

It is something about the wrong internal interface in openblas, I don't
remember exactly what that error came from.

Try with the attached diff.

bug#63986: Julia is very slow

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi there!

What’s the status?  Sounds like we have a couple of fixes already.

Maybe you can submit one of them to guix-patches@gnu.org so qa.guix can
pick it up.  And if one of them is more intrusive (more rebuilds), then
submit it separately so it gets merged later?  How does that sound?

I've attached a diff to adjust openblas64 and to use it for x86_64 in
julia. I don't know if it's faster than the current openblas.

I have applied the patch in a freshly cloned guix repo, and build julia
within a shell as for the instructions under ’Contributing’.

I get the 13 ms when running the original test, so I guess the issue is
solved (other than thinking about the feasibility of performance tests
to avoid this kind of situations).

Thanks a lot !

I have applied the diff and turned into two patches.  Attached below.
Then, I have sent the cover-letter to guix-patches where you are CC.
The idea was to trigger the Julia world rebuild.  However, I do not get
back any Debbugs ID for sending the two patches.

I think that before pushing the change to master, we should wait that QA
builds some substitutes. It will reduce the annoyance for user since
some Julia paackages are long to build.

I have no time today for waiting after some Debbugs troubles.

Cheers,
simon

Any idea?  I have no idea and it is blocking the merge because ~20

for “Julia is slow” and we will fix later these ~20 failures.  WDYT?

The ‘_64’ suffix is added by a patch in this very series, that adds
‘SYMBOLSUFFIX=64_’ to ‘openblas-ilp64’.

I don’t know what the rationale was for that configuration change, but
this is a good area of investigation.

Efraim, WDYT?

the SYMBOLSUFFIX change seems to be standard across other distributions,
and in fact there seem to be packages out there which rely on it
directly.

Looking at this error specifically and also the pcre2-8 errors we get
during the 'test phase for julia, it seems the suggested fix is to build
those libraries with julia. So we'd want to replace the pcre2 and the
lapack libraries in the julia sources (for pcre2 for all the
architectures, for lapack for x86_64 specifically) and let julia build
and link to them during the build phase.

That would seem like a step backwards though, no?  Usually we prefer to
unbundle things.

Actually, why does liblapack.so end up in Julia itself, as opposed to
just linking to libopenblas.so?

I tried it with inserting our source for pcre2 and adding a patch to fix
the configure phase of pcre2, we ended up with other failures, so I
think we're best off with what we have now.

Julia links to both (open)blas and to lapack. If we build openblas so
that it also provides lapack, or use (c)blas from lapack, then we can
use only one or the other. I suppose in theory it should be possible to
tell julia that libopenblas64_.so is really lapack and to use that for
both of them. I don't know how well that would work though.

This one was easy, I just upgraded it to 0.3.0. Then I had to adjust
julia-bandedmatrices and julia-arraylayouts and everything looks good.
Except for julia-optim.

I spent a few hours trying to get Julia to use accept '64' instead of
'64_' for SYMBOLSUFFIX and even packaged a newer version of lapack but I
wasn't able to force the issue. Ultimately any other  julia packages
need to use libblastrampoline to determine whether to use openblas or
lapack.

Patches pushed, issue closed. I even tested the original reproducer from
the first email.

I propose to tweak openblas-ilp64.  Currently it looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ tree $(guix build openblas-ilp64)/lib
/gnu/store/v6z5ykkjfzbc72x1x900xflspqc5wd5r-openblas-ilp64-0.3.20/lib

└── pkgconfig
    └── openblas.pc
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which is inconsistent with pkgconfig as you noticed above.  Therefore, I
am proposing the addition of a symlink of libopenblas_ilp64p.so to
libopenblas.so.  For instance this attached patch.

WDYT?

Well, I am running all the testsuite for checking if all is correct.
Somehow, I think this is direction.  Otherwise, what would you suggest?

If we drop the "LIBNAMESUFFIX=ilp64" from openblas-ilp64 then we get
libopenblas.so by default without needing to also symlink it into place.
One benefit of this is we'd be able to easily do some package
transformations between openblas and openblas-ilp64.

Currently I'm looking around online to see what the consensus seems to
be with naming openblas-ilp64, and there seems to be a lot of options.

I've attached the patch that I've made it to. julia is built with
openblas-ilp64 on 64-bit architectures, openblas-ilp64 has its
configure-flags adjusted to match what other programs are expecting, and
I've also patched python-numpy to use openblas-ilp64 as another test
target.

Well, I do not know but using this change USE_BLAS64=1 will be applied
to aarch64 when it was specifically not previously.  Is it expected?

This change leads to a large rebuild.  Therefore, it should go first to
a dedicated branch, no?

bug#63986: [PATCH 0/2] Fix bug#63986: Julia is very slow

[Simon Tournier]

Hi,

This series is for triggering the rebuild of the Julia world.  Some Julia
packages are long to build so let minimize the annoyance and make some
substitutes available before pushing to master. :-)

Since nothing had been applied for fixing the bug, could you please keep
it open.  Let close it once all is fine in master.  WDYT?
