This post shows few common RDMA benchmark examples for AMD Rome CPU based platform.
Before starting, please follow AMD Rome Tuning Guide for InfiniBand HPC to set the cluster parameters for high performance. Please use the latest firmware and driver, and find a core close to the adapter on your local Numa, see HowTo Find the local NUMA node in AMD EYPC Servers.
RDMA Testing is important to have before each application or micro-benchmark application testing, as it gives you the low level capabilities of your fabric.
RDMA Write Benchmarks
RDMA Write Latency (ib_write_lat)
To check the latency of RDMA-Write please follow those notes:
Please use the core local to the HCA, in this example the HDR InfiniBand adapter is local to core 80
More iterations helps to make the output more smooth. In this example, We are using 10000 iterations.
Command Example:
# numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_lat -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F -n 10000 & ssh rome002 numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_lat -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F rome001 -n 10000
Output example, tested on Rome cluster.
$ numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_lat -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F -n 10000 & ssh rome008 numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_lat -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F rome007 -n 10000

RDMA Write Bandwidth (ib_write_bw)
To check the latency of RDMA write follow those notes:
Please use the core local to the HCA, in this example the HDR InfiniBand adapter is local to core 80
More iterations helps to make the output more smooth. In this example, we are using 10000 iterations.
NPS Configuration should set to 1 (or 2) for HDR for maximum bandwidth.
Command Example:
# numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_bw -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F -n 10000 & ssh rome002 numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_bw -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F rome001 -n 10000
Output example, tested on Rome cluster.
$ numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_bw -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F -n 10000 & ssh rome008 numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_bw -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F rome007 -n 10000

Please use the core local to the HCA, in this example the HDR InfiniBand adapter is local to core 80
More iterations helps to make the output more smooth. In this example, we are using 10000 iterations.
NPS Configuration should set to 1 (or 2) for HDR for maximum bandwidth.
Command Example:
# numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_bw -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F -n 10000 -b & ssh rome002 numactl --physcpubind=80 ib_write_bw -a -d mlx5_2 -i 1 --report_gbits -F rome001 -n 10000 -b
