HPE Cray Programming Environment 21.12 Release Notes
====================================================
Abnormal Termination Processing (ATP) 3.14.8:
================================================
Release Date:
--------------
December 2021
Product Description:
--------------------
Abnormal Termination Processing (ATP) is a system that
monitors user applications, and should an application
take a system trap, ATP preforms analysis on the dying
application. All of the stack backtraces of the
application processes are gathered into a merged
stack backtrace tree and written to disk as the file
"atpMergedBT.dot". The stack backtrace for the first process
to die is sent to stderr as is the number of the signal that
caused the death. If the core file size limit (RLIMIT_CORE)
is non-zero, a heuristically selected set of processes dump
their core.
atpMergedBT.dot can be viewed with 'statview', a component
of the STAT package (module load stat). The merged stack
backtrace tree provides a concise, yet comprehensive, view
of what the application was doing at the time of its death.
Purpose:
---------
This release adds the following features:
- Updated gen compilers to cray-gcc-10.3.0

The craypkg-gen 1.3.21 utility provides the system administrator
a tool to integrate third party software with the Cray software stack.
Craypkg-gen assists with integration by creating .pc files for C, C++, and
Fortran libraries, pkg-config enabled modulefiles and RPMs.
The workflow for using craypkg-gen is
1) Build the open source software
2) Create .pc files for libraries
3) Create pkg-config enabled modulefiles
4) Customize pkg-config and modulefiles if needed
5) Package rpms
6) Install the rpms on the Cray system

gdb4hpc 4.13.8:
======================================
Release Date:
--------------
December 2021
Product Description:
--------------------
gdb4hpc is a GDB-based parallel debugger used to debug applications compiled with
CCE, AOCC, GNU, and Intel Fortran, C and C++ compilers. It allows programmers to
either launch an application or attach to an already running application that
was launched on the system. Additionally, it provides comparative debugging
technology that enables programmers to compare data structures between two
executing applications. Comparative debugging should be used in conjunction
with the CCDB GUI tool accessed by loading the cray-ccdb module.
Some features of gdb include:
* Command line parallel debugger allows for launching/attaching applications.
* Utilizes process sets to operate on a subset of application ranks.
* GDB-like feel, also implements a gdbmode to enable a true parallel gdb.
* GPU debugging is supported for OpenMP 4.0+ GPU directives; OpenMP 5.0 on AMD
and Nvidia GPU's.
* Workload manager support via Common Tools Interface (cray-cti).

Cray MPICH 8.1.12:
=======================================
Release Date:
-------------
December 1, 2021
Purpose:
--------
Cray MPICH 8.1.12 is based upon ANL MPICH 3.4a2 with support for libfabric
and is optimized for the Cray Programming Environment.
Major Differences Cray MPICH 8.1.12 from the XC Cray MPICH include:
- Uses the new ANL MPICH CH4 code path and libfabric for network
support.
- Does not support -default64 mode for Fortran
- Does not support C++ language bindings
New Cray MPICH features for HPE Cray EX and Apollo systems:
- Cray MPICH uses the libfabric "verbs;ofi_rxm" provider by default.
This is the supported and optimized OFI libfabric provider for
Slingshot-10 and Apollo systems.
- Cray MPICH offers support for multiple NICs per node. Starting with
version 8.0.8, by default Cray MPICH will use all available NICs on
a node. Several rank-to-NIC assignment policies are supported. For
details on choosing a policy for assigning ranks to NICS, or for
selecting a subset of available NICs, please see the following
environment variables documented in the mpi man page.
MPICH_OFI_NIC_VERBOSE
MPICH_OFI_NIC_POLICY
MPICH_OFI_NIC_MAPPING
MPICH_OFI_NUM_NICS
- Enhancements to the MPICH_OFI_NIC_POLICY NUMA mode have been added.
Starting with version 8.0.14, if the user selects the NUMA policy,
the NIC closest to the rank is selected. A NIC no longer needs to
reside in the same numa node as the rank. If multiple NICs are
assigned to the same numa node, the local ranks will round-robin
between them. Numa distances are analyzed to select the closest NIC.
- Cray MPICH supports creating a full connection grid during MPI_Init.
By default, OFI connections between ranks are set up on demand. This
allows for optimal performance while minimizing memory requirements.
However, for jobs requiring an all-to-all communication pattern, it
may be beneficial to create all OFI connections in a coordinated
manner at startup. See the MPICH_OFI_STARTUP_CONNECT description in
the mpi man page.
- Cray MPICH supports runtime switching to the UCX netmod starting
with version 8.0.14. To do this load the craype-network-ucx module
and module swap between Cray-MPICH and Cray-MPICH-UCX modules. For
more information including relevant environment variables reference
the intro_mpi man page with the Cray-MPICH-UCX module loaded.
- Lmod support for HPE Cray EX starting with Cray MPICH 8.0.16.

Perftools 21.12.0
===============
Release Date: December 16, 2021
Purpose:
========
This is a feature and bugfix release for HPE Apollo 80, HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10
Plus (x86), and HPE Cray EX supercomputer (Shasta) systems. This version of
perftools supports CLE 7 on Cray XC systems, RHEL/CentOS 8 on Cray CS and HPE
Apollo systems, and V1.4 and V1.5 on Shasta.
Important note:
===============
When cpe-gcc-11.2.0 or cray-gcc-11.2.0 (or later) is installed on a system,
ALL VERSIONS OF PERFTOOLS PRIOR TO 21.09.0 WILL FAIL.
After installing cpe-gcc-11.2.0 or cray-gcc-11.2.0 (or later), all Perftools
versions prior to Perftools-21.09.0 will fail. There is no workaround for this;
perftools-21.09.0 later must be used. Cpe-gcc-11.2.0 and cray-gcc-11.2.0 are
installed as part of the Cray PE-21.09 and later releases.
Key enhancements or changes from the previous release:
======================================================
o PAPI 6.0.0.12 - upstream bugfixes, built with ROCM 4.5.0
o LIBDWARF 0.2.1 - upstream bugfixes and features, more complete DWARF5 support
o ROCm/4.5 support
o Support for intel/2021.4
o Support for Nvidia-sdk/21.9 for Everest
o Support for cce/13.0.0
o Support for AMD MI200 and AMD Trento
o Cray-libelf version dependency changed to 0.8.14
o Consolidate inline function data to reduce the size of AP2 files.
o Reduced AMD GPU Hardware Performance Counter collection overhead. When collecting
HWPCs for AMD GPUs, accelerator kernels are serialized by default. This behavior
is controlled via the AMD_SERIALIZE_KERNEL option, which may be set to 0 if
kernel serialization is not desired. Please see the accpc manpage for more details.
Known Issues:
=============
o Perftools cannot generate accurate trace intercept wrappers for CCE Fortran 12.0
and later. This is a result of misleading DWARF debug information issued by
CCE Fortran 12.0 and later. This issue affects any trace experiment that attempts
to generate trace intercept wrappers for user-defined functions, including
'perftools-lite-events', 'perftools-lite-gpu', 'pat_build -u', 'pat_build -t',
and 'pat_build -T'.
The symptom is often a runtime segmentation fault, however, it is also possible
for the instrumented program to execute successfully, yet produce invalid or
misleading results. C and C++ are not affected. Sampling experiments are not
affected. This issue occurs in all versions of CCE Fortran 12.x, 13.0.0,
and 13.0.1. A fix will be provided in a future release of CCE.
The workaround is to add -hfunc_trace to all fortran compilations.
o Perftools-lite-loops does not work with cce/11.0.1.
Use cce/11.0.0 or 11.0.2 or later instead.
o Nvidia OpenMP target offload does not work with CCE 11.
Compile your application with -fno-cray-omp-target-debug to use
CCE 11 with OpenMP target offload. The issue is fixed in CCE 12.
o Affinity problems may occur on XC systems running PBS when using
perftools with OpenMP codes. Ensure that 'aprun -cc depth' is used
in this situation.
CAST Bugs Fixed:
================
o CAST-27322 pat_build - two versions of libsci are linked in
Bugs Fixed:
===========
o 'papi_native_avail' segfault fixed by Papi 6.0.0.12.
o Correctly report PEs per node on EX systems.
o Fix segfault during Perftools-lite report generation with GCC compiled codes.
o Fix for some user functions not showing in pat_report with GCC or Intel
compiled codes.
o Force serialization of HIP kernels when collecting counters, to prevent
excessive overhead.
o Properly handle inlined functions that were previously rejected as having
invalid address ranges.
Dependencies:
=============
o A PDF reader (evince, acroread or okular) is required to use the
app2 online help.
o For a list of software used when validating this version of
perftools on Cray and HPE systems, see the HPE Cray Programming Environment
release announcements.
