My codes work in serial, but not in parallel due to issues with cache files

acastele · June 5, 2019, 10:46pm

In the last months, I was trying to install FEniCS 2018.1.0 in my personal computer and in a cluster. After solving several problems during the installation process, I got to install FEniCS in my computer and I checked it works properly with some codes. However, the same code does not work in the cluster, even when the installation process is supposed to be completed.

I realized the program does not work properly when I tried to run my simulations in the cluster using more than one processor. During the simulation, it seems the program writes some temporal files in “.cache/”. When we are using only one processor, it is the only one which is reading and writing on those files and everything works correctly. When we try to increase the number of processors, each of them try to create their own temporal files, but they find those files that have been created by other processors. For this reason, it tries to back up the existing files, to remove them and to create its own temporal files. Due to this behavior, we can get two different results:

In some simulations, the different processors work coordinately and the simulation seems to work. However, the program is terribly slow, because it is making copies and moving files all the time. Moreover, I do not rely on the results, although I can not check them because the program is very slow.
In other simulations, when one of the processors is copying those temporal files, another processor try to access to one of those files, it does not find the right file and the program prints the error that is shown below (the error that is shown in that topic is an extract of the error that is printed):

The behavior of the program depends on the number of processors. However, if we increase the number of processors, it will be easier to get the error.

Dear @acastele ,

I am not able to reproduce your error. However, running your problem in parallel on my own computer gave me some indications.

As far as I can understand, the problem is your mesh-generation with mesh editor. I don’t known if the mesh editor has parallel support, and even if it has, I would not recommend creating the mesh as part of the simulation.

Creating a similar mesh as you have in your problem can be done as follows:

Nx = 500
Ny = 500
mesh = UnitSquareMesh.create(Nx, Ny, CellType.Type.quadrilateral)

This results in the code running on my own computer (I did not do the full simulation, but I get passed the place where your code fails).

What happens if you reduce the mesh size and run it on your local computer in parallel?

I used docker:
docker run -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/home/fenics/shared/ -w /home/fenics/shared quay.io/fenicsproject/stable:2018.1.0.r3

Another note is that I would not recommend saving your solution as a “pvd” file when running in parallel. I recommend the HDF5 or XDMF-format .
Could you indicate if this helps?

I actually have the same issue.

I have a solver function for Nernst-Planck equation that runs flawlessly in serial, but I want to fit the diffusion coefficient for different datasets. So, I want to run a least squares optimization in parallel for each dataset. I implemented it using python’s multiprocessing and using

import multiprocessing as mp

if __name__ == '__main__':
    dataFiles   = files_with_extension(dataPath,'.h5')
    pool            = mp.Pool(processes=40)
    pool.map(fit_vfb,dataFiles)

vfb_fit is just a function that runs the least squares optimization, the minimal version does something like:

def vfb_fit(datafile):
   hf = h5py.File(dataFile,'r')
   x = np.array(hf['x'])
   y = np.array(hf['y'])

   def model(x,b):
        D = b[0]
        Cm = b[1]
        xsim,ysim = simulate_pnp(D,Cm,args)
        f = interpolate.interp1d(xsim,ysim)
        return f(x)

   def fobj(x,b)
       yinterp = model(x,b)
       return yinterp - y

   res = optimize.least_squares(fobj,[1E-1,2],kwargs)

   save_result(res)

I tried the code with just one datafile and it does work. But dijitso seems to mess with the cache files…
