Cython与CUDA之Add

技术背景

在前一篇文章中,我们介绍过使用Cython结合CUDA实现了一个Gather算子以及一个BatchGather算子。这里我们继续使用这一套方案,实现一个简单的求和函数,通过CUDA来计算数组求和。由于数组求和对于不同的维度来说都是元素对元素进行求和,因此高维数组跟低维数组没有差别,这里我们全都当做是一维的数组输入来处理,不做Batch处理。

头文件

首先我们需要一个CUDA头文件cuda_add.cuh来定义CUDA函数的接口:

c 复制代码
#include <stdio.h>

extern "C" float Add(float *A, float *B, float *res, int N);

其他头文件如异常捕获,可以参考这篇文章,CUDA函数计时可以参考这篇文章

CUDA文件

CUDA文件cuda_add.cu中包含了核心部分的算法:

c 复制代码
// nvcc -shared ./cuda_add.cu -Xcompiler -fPIC -o ./libcuadd.so
#include <stdio.h>
#include "cuda_add.cuh"
#include "error.cuh"
#include "record.cuh"

__global__ void AddKernel(float *A, float *B, float *res, int N) {
    int tid = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
    // 每个线程处理多个元素
    int stride = blockDim.x * gridDim.x;
    for (int i = tid; i < N; i += stride) {
        res[i] = A[i] + B[i];
    }
}

extern "C" float Add(float *A, float *B, float *res, int N){
    float *A_device, *B_device, *res_device;
    CHECK(cudaMalloc((void **)&A_device, N * sizeof(float)));
    CHECK(cudaMalloc((void **)&B_device, N * sizeof(float)));
    CHECK(cudaMalloc((void **)&res_device, N * sizeof(float)));
    CHECK(cudaMemcpy(A_device, A, N * sizeof(float), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice));
    CHECK(cudaMemcpy(B_device, B, N * sizeof(float), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice));

    int block_size, grid_size;
    cudaOccupancyMaxPotentialBlockSize(&grid_size, &block_size, AddKernel, 0, N);
    grid_size = (N + block_size - 1) / block_size;

    float timeTaken = GET_CUDA_TIME((AddKernel<<<grid_size, block_size>>>(A_device, B_device, res_device, N)));
    CHECK(cudaGetLastError());
    CHECK(cudaDeviceSynchronize());
    CHECK(cudaMemcpy(res, res_device, N * sizeof(float), cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost));
    CHECK(cudaFree(A_device));
    CHECK(cudaFree(B_device));
    CHECK(cudaFree(res_device));
    return timeTaken;
}

此处代码是部分经过DeepSeek优化的,例如在核函数中使用for循环对多个数据进行处理,而不是只处理一个数据。另外block_sizecudaOccupancyMaxPotentialBlockSize自动生成,也避免了手动设定带来的一些麻烦。不过这里我们没有使用Stream来优化,只是简单的演示一个功能算法。

Cython接口文件

由于我们的框架是通过Cython来封装CUDA函数,然后在Python中调用,所以这里需要一个Cython接口文件wrapper.pyx

python 复制代码
# cythonize -i -f wrapper.pyx

import numpy as np
cimport numpy as np
cimport cython

cdef extern from "<dlfcn.h>" nogil:
    void *dlopen(const char *, int)
    char *dlerror()
    void *dlsym(void *, const char *)
    int dlclose(void *)
    enum:
        RTLD_LAZY

ctypedef float (*AddFunc)(float *A, float *B, float *res, int N) noexcept nogil

cdef void* handle_add = dlopen('/path/to/cuda/libcuadd.so', RTLD_LAZY)

@cython.boundscheck(False)
@cython.wraparound(False)
cpdef float[:] cuda_add(float[:] x, float[:] y):
    cdef:
        AddFunc Add
        float timeTaken
        int N = x.shape[0]
        float[:] res = np.zeros((N, ), dtype=np.float32)
    Add = <AddFunc>dlsym(handle_add, "Add")
    timeTaken = Add(&x[0], &y[0], &res[0], N)
    print (timeTaken)
    return res

while not True:
    dlclose(handle)

Python调用文件

最后,我们写一个Python的案例test_add.py来调用Cython封装后的CUDA函数:

python 复制代码
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(0)
from wrapper import cuda_add

N = 1024 * 1024 * 100

x = np.random.random((N,)).astype(np.float32)
y = np.random.random((N,)).astype(np.float32)

np_res = x+y

res = np.asarray(cuda_add(x, y))
print (res.shape)
print ((res==np_res).sum())

运行python文件即可获得CUDA核函数的耗时,以及相应的返回结果输出。

查看GPU信息

为了更加深刻的理解一下CUDA计算的性能,我们可以查看GPU的一些关键参数,以此来推理CUDA运算的理论运算极限。在一些版本的CUDA里面会自带一个deviceQuery:

bash 复制代码
$ cd /usr/local/cuda-10.1/samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery

里面包含有一些可以查询获取本地GPU配置参数的文件:

bash 复制代码
$ ll
总用量 44
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 7月  13  2021 ./
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root  4096 7月  13  2021 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12473 7月  13  2021 deviceQuery.cpp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10812 7月  13  2021 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1789 7月  13  2021 NsightEclipse.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   168 7月  13  2021 readme.txt

可以将这些文件进行编译,但是因为这些代码强行指定了nvcc的地址在/usr/local/cuda下,所以如果本地没有这个路径的,可能需要使用ln -s来创建一个路径软链接:

bash 复制代码
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/cuda-10.1 /usr/local/cuda

然后再执行编译指令:

bash 复制代码
$ sudo make
/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc -ccbin g++ -I../../common/inc  -m64    -gencode arch=compute_30,code=sm_30 -gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35 -gencode arch=compute_37,code=sm_37 -gencode arch=compute_50,code=sm_50 -gencode arch=compute_52,code=sm_52 -gencode arch=compute_60,code=sm_60 -gencode arch=compute_61,code=sm_61 -gencode arch=compute_70,code=sm_70 -gencode arch=compute_75,code=sm_75 -gencode arch=compute_75,code=compute_75 -o deviceQuery.o -c deviceQuery.cpp
/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc -ccbin g++   -m64      -gencode arch=compute_30,code=sm_30 -gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35 -gencode arch=compute_37,code=sm_37 -gencode arch=compute_50,code=sm_50 -gencode arch=compute_52,code=sm_52 -gencode arch=compute_60,code=sm_60 -gencode arch=compute_61,code=sm_61 -gencode arch=compute_70,code=sm_70 -gencode arch=compute_75,code=sm_75 -gencode arch=compute_75,code=compute_75 -o deviceQuery deviceQuery.o 
mkdir -p ../../bin/x86_64/linux/release
cp deviceQuery ../../bin/x86_64/linux/release

编译完成后直接执行编译好的可执行文件:

bash 复制代码
$ ./deviceQuery 
./deviceQuery Starting...

deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 12.2, CUDA Runtime Version = 10.1, NumDevs = 2
Result = PASS

这里就输出了两块GPU的相关参数。其中Memory Bus Width: 256-bit表示总位宽,数值越高越好。Memory Clock rate: 6501 Mhz表示显存的访问速率,经常被用于估计GPU的性能,因为很多时候GPU的性能瓶颈可能在内存-显存的传输上。GPU Max Clock rate: 1545 MHz (1.54 GHz)可以用来估计显存操作速率。以普通的CUDA加法为例,有效速率的大致公式为:

\[有效速率(Gbps)=\frac{物理频率\times 2}{1000} \]

进而可以计算带宽:

\[带宽(GB/s)=\frac{有效速率\times 总线宽度}{8} \]

最后,根据带宽估算计算速率的上限,也就等同于估算一个CUDA加法的计算耗时的下限:

\[计算耗时(s)=\frac{总操作数据量(B)}{带宽(B/s)} \]

实际计算的话,单次的加法操作涉及到四个步骤:读取数组A元素,读取数组B元素,加和,写入C数组。也就是说,涉及到3次内存操作和1次加和操作。关于内存部分的耗时(假定N=1024*1024*100):

\[T_{mem}=\frac{N*4*3}{\frac{\frac{6501}{1000}*256}{8}*10^9}\approx 0.0030243 s \]

耗时估计在3ms左右(这里的4是单精度浮点数到Byte的换算)。至于单次的加法运算耗时,其实可以忽略不计,因为指令吞吐率大概为:

\[指令吞吐率(TFLOPS)=核心数\times 时钟频率=2304\times 1.54e09\approx 3.55 \]

那么理论最小耗时为(假定N=1024*1024*100):

\[T_{theo}(s)=\frac{总计算量}{指令吞吐率}\approx 2.95e-05 \]

指令运算部分耗时大约在0.03 ms,跟显存IO部分的耗时3 ms比起来可以忽略的量级。

真实测试

运行Python代码输出的结果为:

bash 复制代码
$ python3 test_add.py 
3.3193600177764893
(104857600,)
104857600

这个数据3.32 ms已经很接近于极限速率3 ms了,应该说在这样的算法框架下已经很难再往下去优化了,更多时候优化点还是在于CPU到GPU的内存传输效率上。

总结概要

本文介绍了使用CUDA和Cython来实现一个CUDA加法算子的方法,并介绍了使用CUDA参数来估算性能极限的算法。经过实际测试,核函数部分的算法性能优化空间已经不是很大了,更多时候可以考虑使用Stream来优化Host和Device之间的数据传输。
