.. _sysman-programming-guide: ========================== Sysman Programming Guide ========================== Introduction ============ Sysman is the System Resource Management library used to monitor and control the power and performance of accelerator devices. High-level overview =================== Environment Variables --------------------- The System Resource Management library may now be initialized without using environment variables by calling :ref:`zesInit`\. For compatibility, the following environment variables may also be enabled during initialization for the respective feature. +-----------------+-------------------------------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Category | Name | Values | Description | +=================+=====================================+============+===================================================================================+ | Sysman | ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN | {**0**, 1} | Enables driver initialization and dependencies for system management | +-----------------+-------------------------------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Sysman | ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN_LOW_POWER | {**0**, 1} | Driver initialize the device in low power mode | +-----------------+-------------------------------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Initialization -------------- An application wishing to manage power and performance for devices may use the System Resource Management library to enumerate system management driver and device handles. The following pseudo-code demonstrates a basic initialization and device discovery sequence: .. parsed-literal:: function main( ... ) if (:ref:`zesInit`\(0) != :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) output("Can't initialize the API") else # Discover all the drivers uint32_t driversCount = 0 :ref:`zesDriverGet`\(&driversCount, nullptr) zes_driver_handle_t* allDrivers = allocate(driversCount * sizeof(zes_driver_handle_t)) :ref:`zesDriverGet`\(&driversCount, allDrivers) zes_driver_handle_t hDriver = nullptr for(i = 0 .. driversCount-1) # Discover devices in a driver uint32_t deviceCount = 0 :ref:`zesDeviceGet`\(allDrivers[i], &deviceCount, nullptr) zes_device_handle_t* hSysmanHandles = allocate_memory(deviceCount * sizeof(zes_device_handle_t)) :ref:`zesDeviceGet`\(allDrivers[i], &deviceCount, hSysmanHandles) # Use the hSymanHandles to manage the devices free_memory(...) For compatibility, an application may also use the Level0 Core API to enumerate through available accelerator devices in the system. For each device handle, an application can cast it to a sysman device handle to manage the system resources of the device. There is a unique handle for each device. Multiple threads can use the handle. If concurrent accesses are made to the same device property through the handle, the last request wins. The pseudo code below shows how to enumerate the GPU devices in the system and create Sysman handles for them: .. parsed-literal:: function main( ... ) if (:ref:`zeInit`\(0) != :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) output("Can't initialize the API") else # Discover all the drivers uint32_t driversCount = 0 :ref:`zeDriverGet`\(&driversCount, nullptr) ze_driver_handle_t* allDrivers = allocate(driversCount * sizeof(ze_driver_handle_t)) :ref:`zeDriverGet`\(&driversCount, allDrivers) ze_driver_handle_t hDriver = nullptr for(i = 0 .. driversCount-1) # Discover devices in a driver uint32_t deviceCount = 0 :ref:`zeDeviceGet`\(allDrivers[i], &deviceCount, nullptr) ze_device_handle_t* allDevices = allocate_memory(deviceCount * sizeof(ze_device_handle_t)) :ref:`zeDeviceGet`\(allDrivers[i], &deviceCount, allDevices) for(devIndex = 0 .. deviceCount-1) :ref:`ze-device-properties-t` device_properties {} device_properties.stype = :ref:`ZE_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_PROPERTIES ` :ref:`zeDeviceGetProperties`\(allDevices[devIndex], &device_properties) if(:ref:`ZE_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU ` != device_properties.type) next # Get the Sysman device handle zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice = (zes_device_handle_t)allDevices[devIndex] # Start using hSysmanDevice to manage the device free_memory(...) Global device management ------------------------ The following operations are provided to access overall device information and control aspects of the entire device: - Get device UUID, deviceID, number of sub-devices - Get Brand/model/vendor name - Query the information about processes using this device - Reset device - Query if the device has been repaired - Query if the device needs to be reset and for what reasons (wedged, initiate repair) - PCI information: - Get configured bars - Get maximum supported bandwidth - Query current speed (GEN/no. of lanes) - Query current throughput - Query packet retry counters The full list of available functions is described below. Device component management --------------------------- Aside from management of the global properties of a device, there are many device components that can be managed to change the performance and/or power configuration of the device. Similar components are broken into **classes** and each class has a set of operations that can be performed on them. For example, devices typically have one or more frequency domains. The Sysman API exposes a class for frequency and an enumeration of all frequency domains that can be managed. The table below summarizes the classes that provide device queries and an example list of components that would be enumerated for a device with two sub-devices. The table shows the operations (queries) that will be provided for all components in each class. +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Class | Components | Operations | +=======================+=================================+===========================================+ | Power_ | Card: | Get energy consumption | | | power | | | | | | | | Package: | | | | power | | | | | | | | Sub-device 0: total | | | | power | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: total | | | | power | | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Frequency_ | Sub-device 0: GPU frequency | List available frequencies | | | | | | | Sub-device 0: Memory frequency | Set frequency range | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: GPU frequency | Get frequencies | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: Memory frequency | Get throttle reasons | | | | | | | | Get throttle time | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Engines_ | Sub-device 0: All engines | Get busy time | | | | | | | Sub-device 0: Compute engines | | | | | | | | Sub-device 0: Media engines | | | | | | | | Sub-device 0: Copy engines | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: All engines | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: Compute engines | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: Media engines | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: Copy engines | | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Scheduler_ | Sub-device 0: All engines | Get scheduler mode and properties | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: All engines | Get scheduler mode and properties | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Firmware_ | Sub-device 0: Enumerates each | Get firmware name and version | | | firmware | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: Enumerates each | | | | firmware | | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Memory_ | Sub-device 0: Memory module | Get maximum supported bandwidth | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: Memory module | Get free memory | | | | | | | | Get current bandwidth | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Fabric-Port_ | Sub-device 0: Enumerates each | Get port configuration (UP/DOWN) | | | port | | | | | Get physical link details | | | Sub-device 1: Enumerates each | | | | port | Get port health | | | | (healthy/degraded/failed/disabled) | | | | | | | | Get remote port | | | | | | | | Get port rx/tx speed | | | | | | | | Get port rx/tx bandwidth | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Temperature_ | Package: temperature (min, max) | Get current temperature sensor reading | | | | | | | Sub-device 0: GPU temperature | | | | (min, max) | | | | | | | | Sub-device 0: Memory | | | | temperature (min, max) | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: GPU temperature | | | | (min, max) | | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: Memory | | | | temperature (min, max) | | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | PSU_ | Package: Power supplies | Get details about the power supply | | | | | | | | Query current state (temperature, | | | | current, fan) | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Fan_ | Package: Fans | Get details (max fan speed) | | | | | | | | Get config (fixed fan speed, | | | | temperature-speed table) | | | | | | | | Query current fan speed | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | LED_ | Package: LEDs | Get details (RGB capable) | | | | | | | | Query current state (on, color) | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | RAS_ | Sub-device 0: One set of RAS | Read RAS total correctable and | | | error counters | uncorrectable error counters | | | | | | | Sub-device 1: One set of RAS | Read breakdown of errors by category | | | error counters | (no. resets, no. programming errors, | | | | no. programming errors, no. driver | | | | errors, no. compute errors, no. cache | | | | errors, no. memory errors, no.

For example, there is a frequency class which is used to control the frequency of different parts of the device. On most devices, the enumerator will provide two handles, one to control the GPU frequency and one to enumerate the device memory frequency. This is illustrated in the figure below: .. image:: ../images/tools_sysman_freq_flow.png In the C API, each class is associated with a unique handle type (e.g. zes_freq_handle_t refers to a frequency component). In the C++ API, each class is a C++ class (e.g. An instance of the class zes::SysmanFrequency refers to a frequency component). The pseudo code below shows how to use the Sysman API to enumerate all GPU frequency components and fix each to a specific frequency if this is supported: .. parsed-literal:: function FixGpuFrequency(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice, double FreqMHz) uint32_t numFreqDomains if ((:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFrequencyDomains`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFreqDomains, NULL) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\)) zes_freq_handle_t* pFreqHandles = allocate_memory(numFreqDomains * sizeof(zes_freq_handle_t)) if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFrequencyDomains`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFreqDomains, pFreqHandles) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) for (index = 0 .. numFreqDomains-1) :ref:`zes-freq-properties-t` props {}; props.stype = :ref:`ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FREQ_PROPERTIES `\; if (:ref:`zesFrequencyGetProperties`\(pFreqHandles[index], &props) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) # Only change the frequency of the domain if: # 1. The domain controls a GPU accelerator # 2. The domain frequency can be changed if (props.type == :ref:`ZES_FREQ_DOMAIN_GPU ` and props.canControl) # Fix the frequency :ref:`zes-freq-range-t` range range.min = FreqMHz range.max = FreqMHz :ref:`zesFrequencySetRange`\(pFreqHandles[index], &range) free_memory(...) Sub-device management --------------------- A Sysman device handle operates at the device level. If a sub-device device handle is passed to any of the Sysman functions, the result will be as if the device handle was used. The enumerator for device components will return a list of components that are located in each sub-device. Properties for each component will indicate in which sub-device it is located. If software wishing to manage components in only one sub-device should filter the enumerated components using the sub-device ID (see :ref:`ze-device-properties-t`\.subdeviceId). The figure below shows the frequency components that will be enumerated on a device with two sub-devices where each sub-device has a GPU and device memory frequency control: .. image:: ../images/tools_sysman_freq_subdevices.png The pseudo code below shows how to fix the GPU frequency on a specific sub-device (notice the additional sub-device check): .. parsed-literal:: function FixSubdeviceGpuFrequency(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice, uint32_t subdeviceId, double FreqMHz) uint32_t numFreqDomains if ((:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFrequencyDomains`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFreqDomains, NULL) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\)) zes_freq_handle_t* pFreqHandles = allocate_memory(numFreqDomains * sizeof(zes_freq_handle_t)) if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFrequencyDomains`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFreqDomains, pFreqHandles) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) for (index = 0 .. numFreqDomains-1) :ref:`zes-freq-properties-t` props {}; props.stype = :ref:`ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FREQ_PROPERTIES `\; if (:ref:`zesFrequencyGetProperties`\(pFreqHandles[index], &props) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) # Only change the frequency of the domain if: # 1. The domain controls a GPU accelerator # 2. The domain frequency can be changed # 3. The domain is located in the specified sub-device if (props.type == :ref:`ZES_FREQ_DOMAIN_GPU ` and props.canControl and props.subdeviceId == subdeviceId) # Fix the frequency :ref:`zes-freq-range-t` range range.min = FreqMHz range.max = FreqMHz :ref:`zesFrequencySetRange`\(pFreqHandles[index], &range) free_memory(...) Events ------ Events are a way to determine if changes have occurred on a device e.g. new RAS errors without polling the Sysman API. An application registers the events that it wishes to receive notification about and then it listens for notifications. The application can choose to block when listening - this will put the calling application thread to sleep until new notifications are received. The API enables registering for events from multiple devices and listening for any events coming from any devices by using one function call. Once notifications have occurred, the application can use the query Sysman interface functions to get more details. The following events are provided: - Any RAS errors have occurred The full list of available functions for handling events is described below. Telemetry and timestamps ------------------------ Many of the API calls return underlying hardware telemetry (counters). These counters are typically monotonic and wrap around at the their bit width boundaires. An application will typically want to take the delta between two samples. Many times, the rate of change of a counter is required. For example, sampling a counter for bytes transmitted through a link and dividing by the delta time between the samples will yield average bandwidth. When returning telemetry, the API will include a timestamp when the underlying hardware counter was sampled. Each timestamp is only relevant to the telemetry that it accompanies. Each timestamp associated with a piece of telemetry can have it's own absolute base that can be different from timestamps return with other telemetry. As a result, no calculation should be made based on timestamps returned from different telemetry. The timestamps are not guaranteed to have the same base between applications. They should only be used within the execution of a single application.

The amount of power drawn by a device is a function of the voltage and frequency, both of which are controlled by the Punit, a micro-controller on the device. If the voltage and frequency are too high, two conditions can occur: 1. Over-current - This is where the current drawn by the device exceeds the maximum current that the PSU can supply. The PSU asserts a signal when this occurs, and it is processed by the Punit. 2. Over-temperature - The device is generating too much heat that cannot be dissipated fast enough. The Punit monitors temperatures and reacts when the sensors show the maximum temperature exceeds the threshold TjMax (typically 100 degrees Celsius). When either of these conditions occurs, the Punit throttles the frequencies/voltages of the device down to their minimum values, severely impacting performance. The Punit avoids such severe throttling by imposing power limits. There are two types of power limits: 1. Reactive - In this case, the Punit will measure the moving average over some interval of the actual power (hardware measurement). If the average power exceeds the limit, Punit will start slowly decreasing the maximum frequency limits that can be requested for each frequency domain. Conversely, if the average power is below the limit, Punit will slowly increase the maximum frequency limits that can be requested up to the hardware frequency limit for each domain. When user/driver frequency requests are above the maximum frequency limits, throttling occurs and this should normally reduce the power. 2. Proactive - In this case, the Punit can perform a calculation based on the current configuration of the chip and frequency requests to predict the worst case power that could be generated. If this calculation exceeds the proactive limit, a search is done to find the maximum frequency that will fit within the limit. Limits need not be applied at the hardware scope level of a device. Devices are subdivided into one or more power domains. A power domain is a hardware scope over which power consumption can be monitored and controlled. Power domains can exist at different hardware scopes such as: 1. Card-level - Power domains defined at this level monitor & control power consumption over a whole card. 2. Package-level - Power domains defined at this level monitor & control power consumption over a single physical package on a card. 3. Stack-level - Power domains defined at this level monitor & control power consumption over a single stack within a package. At any given point in time, a platform can be running on either mains power or, in the case of platforms such as laptops, can be running on battery power. This is referred to as the power source. Limits can be configured to take effect only when a device is drawing power from a specified source, i.e., separate limits can be imposed when a device is running off battery power as opposed to mains power. Depending on the platform and power domain, power limits can be expressed in terms of either amperage or wattage. The API can be queried to determine in which units a given power limit should be specified. A power limit can correspond one of the following power levels. +---------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+ | Limit | Window | Description | +=====================+=================+=======================+ | Instantaneous | NA | Punit predicts the | | | | worst case power for | | | | the current frequency | | | | requests and if it | | | | exceeds the limit, | | | | the actual | | | | frequencies | | | | will be lowered. | +---------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+ | Peak | e.g. 100usec | Punit tracks a moving | | | | average of power over | | | | a short window. When | | | | this exceeds a | | | | programmable | | | | threshold, the Punit | | | | starts throttling | | | | frequencies/voltages. | +---------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+ | Burst | e.g. 2ms | Punit tracks a moving | | | | average of power over | | | | a medium window. When | | | | this exceeds a | | | | programmable | | | | threshold, the Punit | | | | starts throttling | | | | frequencies/voltages. | +---------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+ | Sustained | e.g. 28s | Punit tracks a moving | | | | average of power over | | | | a long window. When | | | | this exceeds a | | | | programmable | | | | threshold, the Punit | | | | throttles | | | | frequencies/voltages. | +---------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+ Note that the sustained, burst, and peak power limits are only reactive, whereas the instantaneous power limit is only proactive. The default factory values are tuned assuming the device is operating at normal temperatures running significant workloads: - The peak power limit is tuned to avoid tripping the PSU over-current signal for all but the most intensive compute workloads. Most workloads should be able to run at maximum frequencies without hitting this condition. - The burst power limit permits most workloads to run at maximum frequencies for short periods. - The sustained power limit will be triggered if high frequencies are requested for lengthy periods (configurable, default is 28sec) and the frequencies will be throttled if the high requests and utilization of the device continues. Some power domains support requesting the event :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_ENERGY_THRESHOLD_CROSSED ` be generated when the energy consumption exceeds some value. This can be a useful technique to suspend an application until the GPU becomes busy. The technique involves calling :ref:`zesPowerSetEnergyThreshold`\() with some delta energy threshold, registering to receive the event using the function :ref:`zesDeviceEventRegister`\() and then calling :ref:`zesDriverEventListen`\() to block until the event is triggered. When the energy consumed by the power domain from the time the call is made exceeds the specified delta, the event is triggered, and the application is woken up. A device can have multiple power domains: - One card level power domain that handles the power consumed by the entire PCIe card. - One package level power domain that handles the power consumed by the entire accelerator chip. This includes the power of all sub-devices on the chip. - One or more power domains for each sub-device if the product has sub-devices. The following functions are provided to manage the power of the device: +--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +======================================+=====================================================================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumPowerDomains`\() | Enumerate the power domains. | +--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesPowerGetProperties`\() | Get the minimum/maximum power limit that can be | | | specified when changing the power limits of a | | | specific power domain.

Most devices have one or more frequency domains. The following functions are provided to manage the frequency domains on the device: +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +==========================================+========================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumFrequencyDomains`\() | Enumerate all the frequency | | | domains on the device and | | | sub-devices. | +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyGetProperties`\() | Find out which domain | | | :ref:`zes-freq-domain-t` is controlled | | | by this frequency and min/max | | | hardware frequencies. | +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyGetAvailableClocks`\() | Get an array of all available | | | frequencies that can be requested | | | on this domain. | +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyGetRange`\() | Get the current min/max frequency | | | between which the hardware can | | | operate for a frequency domain. | +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencySetRange`\() | Set the min/max frequency between | | | which the hardware can operate | | | for a frequency domain. | +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyGetState`\() | Get the current frequency | | | request, actual frequency, TDP | | | frequency and throttle reasons | | | for a frequency domain. | +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyGetThrottleTime`\() | Gets the amount of time a | | | frequency domain has been | | | throttled. | +------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ It is only permitted to set the frequency range if the device property :ref:`zes-freq-properties-t`\.canControl is true for the specific frequency domain. By setting the min/max frequency range to the same value, software is effectively disabling the hardware-controlled frequency and getting a fixed stable frequency providing the Punit does not need to throttle due to excess power/heat. Based on the power/thermal conditions, the frequency requested by software or the hardware may not be respected. This situation can be determined using the function :ref:`zesFrequencyGetState`\() which will indicate the current frequency request, the actual (resolved) frequency and other frequency information that depends on the current conditions. If the actual frequency is below the requested frequency, :ref:`zes-freq-state-t`\.throttleReasons will provide the reasons why the frequency is being limited by the Punit. When a frequency domain starts being throttled, the event :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_FREQ_THROTTLED ` is triggered if this is supported (check :ref:`zes-freq-properties-t`\.isThrottleEventSupported). Frequency/Voltage overclocking ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overclocking involves modifying the voltage-frequency (V-F) curve to either achieve better performance by permitting the hardware to reach higher frequencies or better efficiency by lowering the voltage for the same frequency. By default, the hardware imposes a factory-fused maximum frequency and a voltage-frequency curve. The voltage-frequency curve specifies how much voltage is needed to safely reach a given frequency without hitting overcurrent conditions. If the hardware detects overcurrent (IccMax), it will severely throttle frequencies in order to protect itself. Also, if the hardware detects that any part of the chip exceeds a maximum temperature limit (TjMax) it will also severely throttle frequencies. To improve maximum performance, the following modifications can be made: - Increase the maximum frequency. - Increase the voltage to ensure stability at the higher frequency. - Increase the maximum current (IccMax). - Increase the maximum temperature (TjMax). All these changes come with the risk of damage the device. To improve efficiency for a given workload that is not excercising the full circuitry of the device, the following modifications can be made: - Decrease the voltage Frequency overclocking is accomplished by calling :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetFrequencyTarget`\() with the desired Frequency Target and the Voltage setting by calling :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetVoltageTarget`\() with the new voltage and the voltrage offset. There are three modes that control the way voltage and frequency are handled when overclocking: +--------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ | Overclock mode | Description | +========================================================+================================================+ | :ref:`ZES_OC_MODE_OVERRIDE ` | In this mode, a fixed | | | user-supplied voltage | | | VoltageTarget plus | | | VoltageOffset | | | is applied at all times, | | | independent of the frequency | | | request. This is not efficient but | | | can improve stability by avoiding | | | power-supply voltage changes as the | | | frequency changes. | +--------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_OC_MODE_INTERPOLATIVE ` | In this mode, In this mode, the | | | voltage/frequency curve can be extended | | | with a new voltage/frequency point that will | | | be interpolated. The existing | | | voltage/frequency points can also be offset | | | (up or down) by a fixed voltage. This mode | | | disables FIXED and OVERRIDE modes. | +--------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_OC_MODE_FIXED ` | In this mode, In this mode, hardware will | | | disable most frequency throttling and lock | | | the frequency and voltage at the specified | | | overclock values. This mode disables | | | OVERRIDE and INTERPOLATIVE modes. This mode | | | can damage the part, most of the protections | | | are disabled on this mode. | +--------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ The following functions are provided to handle overclocking: +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +=================================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcGetCapabilities`\() | Determine the overclock | | | capabilities of the device. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcGetFrequencyTarget`\() | Get current overclock target | | | frequency set. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetFrequencyTarget`\() | Set the new overclock target | | | frequency | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcGetVoltageTarget`\() | Get current overclock target | | | voltage set. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetVoltageTarget`\() | Set the new overclock target | | | voltage and offset. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetMode`\() | Sets the desired overclock mode. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcGetMode`\() | Gets the current overclock mode. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcGetIccMax`\() | Get the maximum current limit in | | | effect. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetIccMax`\() | Set a new maximum current limit. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcGetTjMax`\() | Get the maximum temperature limit | | | in effect. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetTjMax`\() | Set a new maximum temperature | | | limit. | +-------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ Overclocking can be turned off by calling :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetMode`\() with mode :ref:`ZES_OC_MODE_OFF ` and by calling :ref:`zesFrequencyOcGetIccMax`\() and :ref:`zesFrequencyOcSetTjMax`\() with values of 0.0. .. _Scheduler: Scheduler operations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scheduler components control how workloads are executed on accelerator engines and how to share the hardware resources when multiple workloads are submitted concurrently. This policy is referred to as a scheduler mode. The available scheduler operating modes are given by the enum :ref:`zes-sched-mode-t` and summarized in the table below: +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Scheduler mode | Description | +=============================================================+===========================================+ | :ref:`ZES_SCHED_MODE_TIMEOUT ` | This mode is optimized for | | | multiple applications or contexts | | | submitting work to the hardware. | | | When higher priority work | | | arrives, the scheduler attempts | | | to pause the current executing | | | work within some timeout | | | interval, then submits the other | | | work. It is possible to configure | | | (:ref:`zes-sched-timeout-properties-t`\) | | | the watchdog timeout which | | | controls the maximum time the | | | scheduler will wait for a | | | workload to complete a batch of | | | work or yield to other | | | applications before it is | | | terminated. If the watchdog | | | timeout is set to | | | ZES_SCHED_WATCHDOG_DISABLE, the | | | scheduler enforces no fairness. | | | This means that if there is other | | | work to execute, the scheduler | | | will try to submit it but will | | | not terminate an executing | | | process that does not complete | | | quickly. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_SCHED_MODE_TIMESLICE ` | This mode is optimized to provide | | | fair sharing of hardware | | | execution time between multiple | | | contexts submitting work to the | | | hardware concurrently. It is | | | possible to configure | | | (:ref:`zes-sched-timeslice-properties-t`\)| | | | | | the timeslice interval and the | | | amount of time the scheduler will | | | wait for work to yield to another | | | application before it is | | | terminated. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_SCHED_MODE_EXCLUSIVE ` | This mode is optimized for single | | | application/context use-cases. It | | | permits a context to run | | | indefinitely on the hardware | | | without being preempted or | | | terminated. All pending work for | | | other contexts must wait until | | | the running context completes | | | with no further submitted work. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_SCHED_MODE_COMPUTE_UNIT_DEBUG ` | This mode is optimized for | | | application debug. It ensures | | | that only one command queue can | | | execute work on the hardware at a | | | given time. Work is permitted to | | | run as long as needed without | | | enforcing any scheduler fairness | | | policies. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ A device can have multiple scheduler components. Each scheduler component controls the workload execution behavior on one or more accelerator engines (:ref:`zes-engine-type-flags-t`\). The following functions are available for changing the scheduler mode for each scheduler component: +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +==================================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumSchedulers`\() | Get handles to each scheduler | | | component. | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerGetProperties`\() | Get properties of a scheduler | | | component (sub-device, engines | | | linked to this scheduler, | | | supported scheduler modes. | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerGetCurrentMode`\() | Get the current scheduler mode | | | (timeout, timeslice, exclusive, | | | single command queue) | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerGetTimeoutModeProperties`\() | Get the settings for the timeout | | | scheduler mode | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerGetTimesliceModeProperties`\() | Get the settings for the | | | timeslice scheduler mode | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerSetTimeoutMode`\() | Change to timeout scheduler mode | | | and/or change properties | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerSetTimesliceMode`\() | Change to timeslice scheduler | | | mode and/or change properties | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerSetExclusiveMode`\() | Change to exclusive scheduler | | | mode and/or change properties | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesSchedulerSetComputeUnitDebugMode`\() | Change to compute unit debug | | | scheduler mode and/or change | | | properties | +--------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ The pseudo code below shows how to stop the scheduler enforcing fairness while permitting other work to attempt to run: .. parsed-literal:: function DisableSchedulerWatchdog(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice) uint32_t numSched if ((:ref:`zesDeviceEnumSchedulers`\(hSysmanDevice, &numSched, NULL) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\)) zes_sched_handle_t* pSchedHandles = allocate_memory(numSched * sizeof(zes_sched_handle_t)) if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumSchedulers`\(hSysmanDevice, &numSched, pSchedHandles) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) for (index = 0 .. numSched-1) :ref:`ze-result-t` res :ref:`zes-sched-mode-t` currentMode res = :ref:`zesSchedulerGetCurrentMode`\(pSchedHandles[index], ¤tMode) if (res == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) ze_bool_t requireReload :ref:`zes-sched-timeout-properties-t` props props.watchdogTimeout = ZES_SCHED_WATCHDOG_DISABLE res = :ref:`zesSchedulerSetTimeoutMode`\(pSchedHandles[index], &props, &requireReload) if (res == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) if (requireReload) output("WARNING: Reload the driver to complete desired configuration.") else output("Schedule mode changed successfully.") else if(res == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE `\) output("ERROR: The timeout scheduler mode is not supported on this device.") else if(res == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS `\) output("ERROR: Don't have permissions to change the scheduler mode.") else output("ERROR: Problem calling the API to change the scheduler mode.") else if(res == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE `\) output("ERROR: Scheduler modes are not supported on this device.") else output("ERROR: Problem calling the API.") .. _ECC: Enabling/disabling ECC Config Dynamically ----------------------------------------- Memory corruption occurs when random bits in data flip due to natural processes such as background radiation, cosmic rays, etc... A single bit flip in one of the high-bits of a single data-value may drastically change the behavior of some applications. Workloads from the financial, industrial control, critical infrastructure, and critical database sectors are typically not tolerant to memory corruption---memory corruption can cause highly undesirable behavior. Error correction codes (ECC) are a memory controller technology that reduce memory corruption at the cost of reduced memory performance and capacity. The loss of memory performance and capacity makes ECC undesirable for some workloads. Application domains may be insensitive to low-level memory corruption. Algorithms may be designed for numerical stability or may be inherently stochastic, making them insensitive to memory corruption. Products may support ECC capabilities and may additionally make ECC dynamically configurable, i.e. if ECC is supported, then it may be turned on or off on demand. A device reset, either in the form of a warm reset or a cold reboot, may be required to switch between ECC enabled and disabled states. Support for ECC can be checked using the function :ref:`zesDeviceEccAvailable`\(). If ECC is supported, then support for dynamic ECC control can be checked using the function :ref:`zesDeviceEccConfigurable`\(). The current ECC state, pending ECC state, and action required to affect the pending ECC state can be determined using the struct :ref:`zes-device-ecc-properties-t` returned by the function :ref:`zesDeviceGetEccState`\(). The ECC state can be changed by calling the :ref:`zesDeviceSetEccState`\() which takes the desired ECC state as input and returns the struct :ref:`zes-device-ecc-properties-t` which lists the current ECC state, pending ECC state, and action required to affect the pending ECC state The following pseudo code demonstrates how the ECC state can be queried and changed from disabled to enabled: .. parsed-literal:: function EnableECC(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice) ze_bool_t EccAvailable = False; :ref:`zesDeviceEccAvailable`\(hSysmanDevice, &EccAvailable) if (EccAvailable == True) { ze_bool_t EccConfigurable = False; :ref:`zesDeviceEccConfigurable`\(hSysmanDevice, &EccConfigurable) if (EccConfigurable == True) { :ref:`zes-device-ecc-properties-t` props = {:ref:`ZES_DEVICE_ECC_STATE_UNAVAILABLE `\, :ref:`ZES_DEVICE_ECC_STATE_UNAVAILABLE `\, :ref:`ZES_DEVICE_ACTION_NONE `\} :ref:`zesDeviceGetEccState`\(hSysmanDevice, &props) if (props.currentState == :ref:`ZES_DEVICE_ECC_STATE_DISABLED `\) { :ref:`zes-device-ecc-desc-t` newState = :ref:`ZES_DEVICE_ECC_STATE_ENABLED ` :ref:`zesDeviceSetEccState`\(hSysmanDevice, newState, &props) } } } .. _Performance-Factor: Tuning workload performance --------------------------- While hardware attempts to balance system resources effectively, there are workloads that can benefit from external performance hints. For hardware where this is possible, the API exposes *Performance Factors* domains that can be used to provide these hints. A Performance Factor is defined as a number between 0 and 100 that expresses a trade-off between the energy provided to the accelerator units and the energy provided to the supporting units. As an example, a compute heavy workload benefits from a higher distribution of energy at the computational units rather than for the memory controller. Alternatively, a memory bounded workload can benefit by trading off performance of the computational units for higher throughput in the memory controller. Generally the hardware will get this balance right, but the Performance Factor can be used to make the balance more aggressive. In the examples given, a Performance Factor of 100 would indicate that the workload is completely compute bounded and requires very little support from the memory controller. Alternatively, a Performance Factor of 0 would indicate that the workload is completely memory bounded and the performance of the memory controller needs to be increased. Tuning for a workload can involve running the application repeatedly with different values of the Performance Factor from 0 to 100 and choosing the value that gives the best performance. The default value is 50. Alternatively, a more dynamic approach would involve monitoring the various utilization metrics of the accelerator to determine memory and compute bounded and moving the Performance Factor up and down in order to remove the bottleneck. The API provides a way to enumerate the domains that can be controlled by a Performance Factor. A domain contains one or more accelerators whose performance will be affected by this setting. The API provides functions to change the Performance Factor for a domain. Here is a summary of the available functions: +-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +=================================================+====================================================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumPerformanceFactorDomains`\() | Enumerate the Performance Factor domains available on the | | | hardware. | +-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesPerformanceFactorGetProperties`\() | Find out if the Performance Factor domain is located on a | | | sub-device and which accelerators are affected by it. | +-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesPerformanceFactorGetConfig`\() | Read the current performance factor being used by the hardware | | | for a domain. | +-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesPerformanceFactorSetConfig`\() | Change the Performance Factor of the hardware for a domain. | +-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ .. _Engines: Operations on engine groups --------------------------- Accelerator resources (e.g. arrays of compute units or media decoders) are fed work by what are called engines. The API provides the ability to measuring the execution time (activity) of these engines. The type of engines is defined in the enum :ref:`zes-engine-group-t`\. Generally there is a one to one relationship between an engine and an underlying accelerator resource. For example, a single media decode engine submits work to a single media decoder hardware and no other engine can do so. Measuring the execution time (activity) of a single engine is equivalent to measuring the execution time of the underlying accelerator hardware. There are also products where multiple engines submit work to the same underlying accelerator hardware. The hardware will execute the work from each engine concurrently. In these cases, the execution time of each individual engine will add up to more than the execution time of the underlying accelerator hardware since each engine is only receiving a portion of the accelerator hardware. In this case, the API also provides engine groups which will measure the total execution time at the level of the hardware accelerator rather than at the level of the individual engines. For example, the API may enumerate multiple engine groups of type :ref:`ZES_ENGINE_GROUP_COMPUTE_SINGLE ` which will permit measuring the activity of each individual engine. However, to measure the overall activity of the shared compute resources, the API will enumerate an engine group of type :ref:`ZES_ENGINE_GROUP_COMPUTE_ALL `\. In this case, the activity report is for when any of the compute engines are active between two snapshots. By taking two snapshots of the activity counters, it is possible to calculate the average utilization of different parts of the device. The following functions are provided: +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +=====================================+=========================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumEngineGroups`\() | Enumerate the engine groups that | | | can be queried. | +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesEngineGetProperties`\() | Get the properties of an engine | | | group. This will return the type | | | of engine group (one of | | | :ref:`zes-engine-group-t`\) and on | | | which sub-device the group is | | | making measurements. | +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesEngineGetActivity`\() | Returns the activity counters for | | | an engine group. | +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ .. _Standby: Operations on standby domains ----------------------------- When a device is idle, it will enter a low-power state. Since exit from low-power states have associated latency, it can hurt performance. The hardware attempts to stike a balance between saving power when there are large idle times between workload submissions to the device and keeping the device awake when it determines that the idle time between submissions is short. A device consists of one or more blocks that can autonomously power-gate into a standby state. The list of domains is given by :ref:`zes-standby-type-t`\. The following functions can be used to control how the hardware promotes to standby states: +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +=======================================+=========================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumStandbyDomains`\() | Enumerate the standby domains. | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesStandbyGetProperties`\() | Get the properties of a standby | | | domain. This will return the | | | parts of the device that are | | | affected by this domain (one of | | | :ref:`zes-engine-group-t`\) and on | | | which sub-device the domain is | | | located. | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesStandbyGetMode`\() | Get the current promotion mode | | | (one of | | | :ref:`zes-standby-promo-mode-t`\) for a | | | standby domain. | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesStandbySetMode`\() | Set the promotion mode (one of | | | :ref:`zes-standby-promo-mode-t`\) for a | | | standby domain. | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ .. _Firmware: Operations on firmwares ----------------------- The following functions are provided to manage firmwares on the device: +------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +====================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumFirmwares`\() | Enumerate all firmwares that can | | | be managed on the device. | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFirmwareGetProperties`\() | Find out the name and version of | | | a firmware. | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFirmwareFlash`\() | Flash a new firmware image. | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ .. _Memory: Querying Memory Modules ----------------------- The API provides an enumeration of all device memory modules. For each memory module, the current and maximum bandwidth can be queried. The API also provides a health metric which can take one of the following values (:ref:`zes-mem-health-t`\): +-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Memory health | Description | +=============================================================+===========================================================+ | :ref:`ZES_MEM_HEALTH_OK ` | All memory channels are healthy. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_MEM_HEALTH_DEGRADED ` | Excessive correctable errors have | | | been detected on one or more | | | channels. Device should be reset. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_MEM_HEALTH_CRITICAL ` | Operating with reduced memory to | | | cover banks with too many | | | uncorrectable errors. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_MEM_HEALTH_REPLACE ` | Device should be replaced due to | | | excessive uncorrectable errors. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ When the health state of a memory module changes, the event :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_MEM_HEALTH ` is triggered. The following functions provide access to information about the device memory modules: +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +======================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumMemoryModules`\() | Enumerate the memory modules. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesMemoryGetProperties`\() | Find out the type of memory and | | | maximum physical memory of a | | | module. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesMemoryGetBandwidth`\() | Returns memory bandwidth counters | | | for a module. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesMemoryGetState`\() | Returns the currently health free | | | memory and total physical memory | | | for a memory module. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ .. _Fabric-Port: Operations on Fabric ports -------------------------- **Fabric** is the term given to describe high-speed interconnections between accelerator devices, primarily used to provide low latency fast access to remote device memory. Devices have one or more **fabric ports** that transmit and receive data over physical links. Links connect fabric ports, thus permitting data to travel between devices. Routing rules determine the flow of traffic through the fabric. The figure below shows four devices, each with two fabric ports. Each port has a link that connects it to a port on another device. In this example, the devices are connected in a ring. Device A and D can access each other's memory through either device B or device C depending on how the fabric routing rules are configured. If the connection between device B and D goes down, the routing rules can be modified such that device B and D can still access each other's memory by going through two hops in the fabric (device A and C). .. image:: ../images/tools_sysman_fabric.png The API permits enumerating all the ports available on a device. Each port is uniquely identified within a system by the following information: - Fabric ID: Unique identifier for the fabric end-point - Attach ID: Unique identifier for the device attachment point - Port Number: The logical port number (this is typically marked somewhere on the physical device) The API provides this information in the struct {t}_fabric_port_id_t. The identifiers are not universal - uniqueness is only guaranteed within a given system and provided the system configuration does not change. When a fabric port is connected, the API provides the unique identifier for the remote fabric port. By enumerating all ports in a system and matching up the remote port identifies, an application can build up a topology map of connectivity. For each port, the API permits querying its configuration (UP/DOWN) and its health which can take one of the following values: +-------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Fabric port health | Description | +===================================================================+===================================================================+ | :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_HEALTHY ` | The port is up and operating as | | | expected. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_DEGRADED ` | The port is up but has quality | | | and/or bandwidth degradation. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_FAILED ` | Port connection instabilities are | | | preventing workloads making | | | forward progress. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_DISABLED ` | The port is configured down. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ If the port is in a degraded state, the API provides additional information about the types of quality degradation that are being observed. If the port is in a red state, the API provides additional information about the causes of the instability. When a port's health state changes, the event :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_FABRIC_PORT_HEALTH ` is triggered. The API provides the current transmit and receive bitrate of each port. It also permits measuring the receive and transmit bandwidth flowing through each port - these metrics include the protocol overhead in addition to traffic generated by the devices. Since ports can pass data directly through to another port, the measured bandwidth at a port can be higher than the actual bandwidth generated by the accelerators directly connected by two ports. As such, bandwidth metrics at each port are more relevant for determining points of congestion in the fabric and less relevant for measuring the total bandwidth passing between two accelerators. The following functions can be used to manage Fabric ports: +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +======================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumFabricPorts`\() | Enumerate all fabric ports on the | | | device. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFabricPortGetProperties`\() | Get static properties about the | | | port (model, pord Id, max | | | receive/transmit speed). | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFabricPortGetLinkType`\() | Get details about the physical | | | link connected to the port. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFabricPortGetConfig`\() | Determine if the port is | | | configured UP and if beaconing is | | | on or off. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFabricPortSetConfig`\() | Configure the port UP or DOWN and | | | turn beaconing on or off. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFabricPortGetState`\() | Determine the health of the port | | | connection, reasons for link | | | degradation or connection issues, | | | current receive/transmit and port | | | Id of the remote end-point. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFabricPortGetThroughput`\() | Get port receive/transmit | | | counters along with current | | | receive/transmit port speed. | +--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ For devices with sub-devices, the fabric ports are usually located in the sub-device. Given a device handle, :ref:`zesDeviceEnumFabricPorts`\() will include the ports on each sub-device. In this case, :ref:`zes-fabric-port-properties-t`\.onSubdevice will be set to true and :ref:`zes-fabric-port-properties-t`\.subdeviceId will give the subdevice ID where that port is located. The pseudo-code below shows how to get the state of all fabric ports in the device and sub-devices: .. parsed-literal:: void ShowFabricPorts(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice) uint32_t numPorts if ((:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFabricPorts`\(hSysmanDevice, &numPorts, NULL) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\)) zes_fabric_port_handle_t* phPorts = allocate_memory(numPorts * sizeof(zes_fabric_port_handle_t)) if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFabricPorts`\(hSysmanDevice, &numPorts, phPorts) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) for (index = 0 .. numPorts-1) # Show information about a particular port output(" Port %u:\n", index) call_function ShowFabricPortInfo(phPorts[index]) free_memory(...) function ShowFabricPortInfo(zes_fabric_port_handle_t hPort) :ref:`zes-fabric-port-properties-t` props {}; props.stype = :ref:`ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FABRIC_PORT_PROPERTIES `\; if (:ref:`zesFabricPortGetProperties`\(hPort, &props) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) :ref:`zes-fabric-port-state-t` state if (:ref:`zesFabricPortGetState`\(hPort, &state) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) :ref:`zes-fabric-link-type-t` link if (:ref:`zesFabricPortGetLinkType`\(hPort, &link) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) :ref:`zes-fabric-port-config-t` config if (:ref:`zesFabricPortGetConfig`\(hPort, &config) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) output(" Model: %s", props.model) if (props.onSubdevice) output(" On sub-device: %u", props.subdeviceId) if (config.enabled) { var status output(" Config: UP") switch (state.status) case :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_HEALTHY `\: status = "HEALTHY - The port is up and operating as expected" case :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_DEGRADED `\: status = "DEGRADED - The port is up but has quality and/or bandwidth degradation" case :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_FAILED `\: status = "FAILED - Port connection instabilities" case :ref:`ZES_FABRIC_PORT_STATUS_DISABLED `\: status = "DISABLED - The port is configured down" default: status = "UNKNOWN" output(" Status: %s", status) output(" Link type: %s", link.desc) output( " Max speed (rx/tx): %llu/%llu bytes/sec", props.maxRxSpeed.bitRate * props.maxRxSpeed.width / 8, props.maxTxSpeed.bitRate * props.maxTxSpeed.width / 8) output( " Current speed (rx/tx): %llu/%llu bytes/sec", state.rxSpeed.bitRate * state.rxSpeed.width / 8, state.txSpeed.bitRate * state.txSpeed.width / 8) else output(" Config: DOWN") The function :ref:`zesFabricPortGetMultiPortThroughput` provides a mechanism for the user to gather throughput values for multiple ports together in a single call. The following pseudo-code describes how API is used to gather throughput: .. parsed-literal:: // Enumerate fabric ports uint32_t numPorts = 0; :ref:`zesDeviceEnumFabricPorts`\(hSysmanDevice, &numPorts, NULL); zes_fabric_port_handle_t* phPorts = allocate_memory(numPorts * sizeof(zes_fabric_port_handle_t)); :ref:`zesDeviceEnumFabricPorts`\(hSysmanDevice, &numPorts, phPorts); // Gather throughput for all fabric ports together :ref:`zes-fabric-port-throughput-t`\* pThroughput = allocate_memory(numPorts * sizeof(:ref:`zes-fabric-port-throughput-t`\)); :ref:`zesFabricPortGetMultiPortThroughput`\(hSysmanDevice, numPorts, phPorts, &pThroughput); .. _Temperature: Querying temperature -------------------- A device has multiple temperature sensors embedded at different locations. The following locations are supported: +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Temperature sensor location | Description | +=============================================================+=============================================================+ | :ref:`ZES_TEMP_SENSORS_GLOBAL ` | Returns the maximum measured temperature | | | across all sensors in the device. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_TEMP_SENSORS_GPU ` | Returns the maximum measured temperature | | | across all sensors in the GPU | | | accelerator. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_TEMP_SENSORS_MEMORY ` | Returns the maximum measured temperature | | | across all sensors in the device | | | memory. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_TEMP_SENSORS_GLOBAL_MIN ` | Returns the minimum measured temperature | | | across all sensors in the device. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_TEMP_SENSORS_GPU_MIN ` | Returns the minimum measured temperature | | | across all sensors in the GPU | | | accelerator. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_TEMP_SENSORS_MEMORY_MIN ` | Returns the minimum measured temperature | | | across all sensors in the device | | | memory. | +-------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ For some sensors, it is possible to request that events be triggered when temperatures cross thresholds. This is accomplished using the function :ref:`zesTemperatureGetConfig`\() and :ref:`zesTemperatureSetConfig`\(). Support for specific events is accomplished by calling :ref:`zesTemperatureGetProperties`\(). In general, temperature events are only supported on the temperature sensor of type :ref:`ZES_TEMP_SENSORS_GLOBAL `\. The list below describes the list of temperature events: +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------+-----------------------+ | Event | Check support | Description | +=========================================================================+=================================+=======================+ | :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_TEMP_CRITICAL ` | :ref:`zes-temp-properties-t` | The event is | | | .isCriticalTempSupported | triggered when the | | | | temperature crosses | | | | into the critical | | | | zone where severe | | | | frequency throttling | | | | will be taking place. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------+-----------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_TEMP_THRESHOLD1 ` | :ref:`zes-temp-properties-t` | The event is | | | .isThreshold1Supported | triggered when the | | | | temperature crosses | | | | the custom threshold | | | | 1.

Flags can be set | | | | to limit the trigger | | | | to when crossing from | | | | high to low or low to | | | | high. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------+-----------------------+ The following function can be used to manage temperature sensors: +-------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +===========================================+=========================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumTemperatureSensors`\() | Enumerate the temperature sensors | | | on the device. | +-------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesTemperatureGetProperties`\() | Get static properties for a | | | temperature sensor.

The hardware can be instructed to run the fan at a fixed speed (or 0 for silent operations) or to provide a table of temperature-speed points in which case the hardware will dynamically change the fan speed based on the current temperature of the chip. This configuration information is described in the structure :ref:`zes-fan-config-t`\. When specifying speed, one can provide the value in revolutions per minute (:ref:`ZES_FAN_SPEED_UNITS_RPM `\) or as a percentage of the maximum RPM (:ref:`ZES_FAN_SPEED_UNITS_PERCENT `\). The following functions are available: +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +===================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumFans`\() | Enumerate the fans on the device. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFanGetProperties`\() | Get the maximum RPM of the fan | | | and the maximum number of points | | | that can be specified in the | | | temperature-speed table for a | | | fan. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFanGetConfig`\() | Get the current configuration | | | (speed) of a fan. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFanSetDefaultMode`\() | Return fan control to factory | | | default. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFanSetFixedSpeedMode`\() | Configure the fan to rotate | | | at a fixed speed. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFanSetSpeedTableMode`\() | Configure fan speed to depend | | | on temperature. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesFanGetState`\() | Get the current speed of a fan. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ The pseudo code below shows how to output the fan speed of all fans: .. parsed-literal:: function ShowFans(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice) uint32_t numFans if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFans`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFans, NULL) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) zes_fan_handle_t* phFans = allocate_memory(numFans * sizeof(zes_fan_handle_t)) if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFans`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFans, phFans) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) output(" Fans") for (fanIndex = 0 .. numFans-1) int32_t speed if (:ref:`zesFanGetState`\(phFans[fanIndex], :ref:`ZES_FAN_SPEED_UNITS_RPM `\, &speed) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) output(" Fan %u: %d RPM", fanIndex, speed) free_memory(...) } The next example shows how to set the fan speed for all fans to a fixed value in RPM, but only if control is permitted: .. parsed-literal:: function SetFanSpeed(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice, uint32_t SpeedRpm) { uint32_t numFans if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFans`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFans, NULL) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) zes_fan_handle_t* phFans = allocate_memory(numFans * sizeof(zes_fan_handle_t)) if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumFans`\(hSysmanDevice, &numFans, phFans) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) :ref:`zes-fan-speed-t` speedRequest speedRequest.speed = SpeedRpm speedRequest.speedUnits = :ref:`ZES_FAN_SPEED_UNITS_RPM ` for (fanIndex = 0 .. numFans-1) :ref:`zes-fan-properties-t` fanprops {}; fanprops.stype = :ref:`ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_FAN_PROPERTIES `\; if (:ref:`zesFanGetProperties`\(phFans[fanIndex], &fanprops) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) if (fanprops.canControl) :ref:`zesFanSetFixedSpeedMode`\(phFans[fanIndex], &speedRequest) else output("ERROR: Can't control fan %u.\n", fanIndex) free_memory(...) } .. _LED: Operations on LEDs ------------------ If :ref:`zesDeviceEnumLeds`\() returns one or more LED handles, it is possible to manage LEDs on the device. This includes turning them off/on and where the capability exists, changing their color in real-time. The following functions are available: +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +===================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumLeds`\() | Enumerate the LEDs on the device | | | that can be managed. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesLedGetProperties`\() | Find out if a LED supports color | | | changes. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesLedGetState`\() | Find out if a LED is currently | | | off/on and the color where the | | | capability is available. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesLedSetState`\() | Turn a LED off/on and set the | | | color where the capability is | | | available. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ .. _RAS: Querying RAS errors ------------------- RAS stands for Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability. It is a feature of certain devices that attempts to correct random bit errors and provide redundancy where permanent damage has occurred. If a device supports RAS, it maintains counters for hardware and software errors. There are two types of errors and they are defined in :ref:`zes-ras-error-type-t`\: +------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Error Type | Description | +==================================================================+===============================================================+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_TYPE_UNCORRECTABLE ` | Hardware errors occurred which | | | most likely resulted in loss of | | | data or even a device hang. If an | | | error results in device lockup, a | | | warm boot is required before | | | those errors will be reported. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_TYPE_CORRECTABLE ` | These are errors that were | | | corrected by the hardware and did | | | not cause data corruption. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+ Software can use the function :ref:`zesRasGetProperties`\() to find out if the device supports RAS and if it is enabled. This information is returned in the structure :ref:`zes-ras-properties-t`\. The function :ref:`zesDeviceEnumRasErrorSets`\() enumerates the available sets of RAS errors. If no handles are returned, the device does not support RAS. A device without sub-devices will return one handle if RAS is supported. A device with sub-devices will return a handle for each sub-device. To determine if errors have occurred, software uses the function :ref:`zesRasGetState`\(). This will return the total number of errors of a given type (correctable/uncorrectable) that have occurred. When calling :ref:`zesRasGetState`\(), software can request that the error counters be cleared. When this is done, all counters of the specified type (correctable/uncorrectable) will be set to zero and any subsequent calls to this function will only show new errors that have occurred. If software intends to clear errors, it should be the only application doing so and it should store the counters in an appropriate database for historical analysis. :ref:`zesRasGetState`\() returns a breakdown of errors by category in the structure :ref:`zes-ras-state-t`\. The table below describes the categories: +-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Error category | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_TYPE_CORRECTABLE ` | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_TYPE_UNCORRECTABLE ` | +===================================================================+==============================================================+================================================================+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_CAT_RESET ` | Always zero. | Number of accelerator engine resets | | | | attempted by the driver. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_CAT_PROGRAMMING_ERRORS ` | Always zero. | Number of hardware | | | | exceptions generated | | | | by the way workloads | | | | have programmed the | | | | hardware. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_CAT_DRIVER_ERRORS ` | Always zero. | Number of low level | | | | driver communication | | | | errors have occurred. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_CAT_COMPUTE_ERRORS ` | Number of errors that | Number of errors that | | | have occurred in the | have occurred in the | | | accelerator hardware | accelerator hardware | | | that were corrected. | that were not | | | | corrected.

The events are listed in the table below. Software can use the functions :ref:`zesRasGetConfig`\() and :ref:`zesRasSetConfig`\() to get and set the thresholds for each error type. The default is for all thresholds to be 0 which means that no events are generated. Thresholds can be set on the total RAS error counter or on each of the detailed error counters. +------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | RAS error Type | Event | +==================================================================+================================================================================+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_TYPE_UNCORRECTABLE ` | :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_RAS_UNCORRECTABLE_ERRORS ` | +------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ZES_RAS_ERROR_TYPE_CORRECTABLE ` | :ref:`ZES_EVENT_TYPE_FLAG_RAS_CORRECTABLE_ERRORS ` | +------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The table below summaries all the RAS management functions: +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +=====================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumRasErrorSets`\() | Get handles to the available RAS | | | error groups. | +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesRasGetProperties`\() | Get properties about a RAS error | | | group - type of RAS errors and if | | | they are enabled. | +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesRasGetConfig`\() | Get the current list of | | | thresholds for each counter in | | | the RAS group.

It is important that all workloads are stopped before initiating. This is achieved using the function :ref:`zesDiagnosticsRunTests`\(). On return from the function, software can use the diagnostics return code (:ref:`zes-diag-result-t`\) to determine the new course of action: 1. :ref:`ZES_DIAG_RESULT_NO_ERRORS ` - No errors found and workloads can resume submission to the hardware. 2. :ref:`ZES_DIAG_RESULT_ABORT ` - Hardware had problems running diagnostic tests. 3. :ref:`ZES_DIAG_RESULT_FAIL_CANT_REPAIR ` - Hardware had problems setting up repair. Card should be removed from the system. 4. :ref:`ZES_DIAG_RESULT_REBOOT_FOR_REPAIR ` - Hardware has prepared for repair and requires a reboot after which time workloads can resume submission. The function :ref:`zesDeviceGetState`\() can be used to determine if the device has been repaired. There are multiple diagnostic test suites that can be run. The function :ref:`zesDeviceEnumDiagnosticTestSuites`\() will enumerate each available test suite and the function :ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetProperties`\() can be used to determine the name of each test suite (:ref:`zes-diag-properties-t`\.name). Each test suite contains one or more diagnostic tests. On some systems, it is possible to run only a subset of the tests. Use the function :ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetProperties`\() and check that :ref:`zes-diag-properties-t`\.haveTests is true to determine if this feature is available. If it is, the function :ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetTests`\() can be called to get the list of individual tests that can be run. When running diagnostics for a test suite using :ref:`zesDiagnosticsRunTests`\(), it is possible to specify the start and index of tests in the suite. Setting to ZES_DIAG_FIRST_TEST_INDEX and ZES_DIAG_LAST_TEST_INDEX will run all tests in the suite. If it is possible to run a subset of tests, specify the index of the start test and the end test - all tests that have an index in this range will be run. The table below summaries all the diagnostic management functions: +---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Function | Description | +=============================================+===================================+ | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumDiagnosticTestSuites`\() | Get handles to the available | | | diagnostic test suites that can | | | be run. | +---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetProperties`\() | Get information about a test | | | suite - type, name, location and | | | if individual tests can be run. | +---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetTests`\() | Get list of individual diagnostic | | | tests that can be run. | +---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | :ref:`zesDiagnosticsRunTests`\() | Run either all or individual | | | diagnostic tests. | +---------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ The pseudo code below shows how to discover all test suites and the tests in each: .. parsed-literal:: function ListDiagnosticTests(zes_device_handle_t hSysmanDevice) { uint32_t numTestSuites if ((:ref:`zesDeviceEnumDiagnosticTestSuites`\(hSysmanDevice, &numTestSuites, NULL) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\)) zes_diag_handle_t* phTestSuites = allocate_memory(numTestSuites * sizeof(zes_diag_handle_t)) if (:ref:`zesDeviceEnumDiagnosticTestSuites`\(hSysmanDevice, &numTestSuites, phTestSuites) == :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) for (suiteIndex = 0 .. numTestSuites-1) uint32_t numTests = 0 :ref:`zes-diag-test-t`\* pTests :ref:`zes-diag-properties-t` suiteProps {}; suiteProps.stype = :ref:`ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DIAG_PROPERTIES `\; if (:ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetProperties`\(phTestSuites[suiteIndex], &suiteProps) != :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) next_loop(suiteIndex) output("Diagnostic test suite %s:", suiteProps.name) if (!suiteProps.haveTests) output(" There are no individual tests that can be selected.") next_loop(suiteIndex) if (:ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetTests`\(phTestSuites[suiteIndex], &numTests, NULL) != :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) output(" Problem getting list of individual tests.") next_loop(suiteIndex) pTests = allocate_memory(numTests * sizeof(:ref:`zes-diag-test-t`\*)) if (:ref:`zesDiagnosticsGetTests`\(phTestSuites[suiteIndex], &numTests, pTests) != :ref:`ZE_RESULT_SUCCESS `\) output(" Problem getting list of individual tests.") next_loop(suiteIndex) for (i = 0 .. numTests-1) output(" Test %u: %s", pTests[i].index, pTests[i].name) free_memory(...) .. _events-2: Events ------ Events are a way to determine if changes have occurred on a device e.g. new RAS errors. An application registers the events that it wishes to receive notification about and then it queries to receive notifications. The query can request a blocking wait - this will put the calling application thread to sleep until new notifications are received. For every device on which the application wants to receive events, it should perform the following actions: 1. Use :ref:`zesDeviceEventRegister`\() to indicate which events it wants to listen to. 2. For each event, where appropriate, call the device component functions to set conditions that will trigger the event. Finally, the application calls :ref:`zesDriverEventListen`\() with a list of device handles that it wishes to listen for events on. A wait timeout is used to request non-blocking operations (timeout = 0) or blocking operations (timeout = UINT32_MAX) or to return after a specified amount of time even if no events have been received. Note that calling zesDeviceEventRegister with no events (set argument events to "0") will unregister all events that are being listened too. If the application has a thread blocked in the function zesDriverEventListen() and there are no more events to listen to, the function will unblock and return control to the application thread with an event count of 0. When events are received, they are returned when the call to function :ref:`zesDriverEventListen`\() completes. This will indicate which devices has generated events and the list of event types for each device. It is then up to the application to use the relevant device component functions to determine the state that has changed. For example, if the RAS error event has triggered for a device, then use the function :ref:`zesRasGetState`\() to get the list of RAS error counters. The list of events is given in the table below. For each event, the corresponding configuration and state functions are shown. Where a configuration function is not shown, the event is generated automatically; where a configuration function is shown, it must be called to enable the event and/or provide threshold conditions.

The call to :ref:`zesDriverEventListen`\() requires the driver handle and a list of device handles. THe device handles must have been enumerated from that driver, otherwise an error will be returned.

Security ======== Linux ----- The default security provided by the accelerator driver is to permit querying and controlling of system resources to the UNIX user **root**, querying only for users that are members of the UNIX group **root** and no access to any other user. Some queries are permitted from any user (e.g. requesting current frequency, checking standby state). It is the responsibility of the Linux distribution or the systems administrator to relax or tighten these permissions. This is typically done by adding udev daemon rules. For example, many distributions of Linux have the following rule: .. parsed-literal:: root video /dev/dri/card0 This will permit all users in the UNIX group **video** to query information about system resources. In order to open up control access to users of the video group, udev rules need to be added for each relevant control. For example, to permit someone in the video group to disable standby, the following udev daemon rule would be needed: .. parsed-literal:: chmod g+w /sys/class/drm/card0/rc6_enable The full list of sysfs files used by the API are described in the table below. For each file, the list of affected API functions is given. +-----------------------+-----------------------+------------------------------------------+ | sysfs file | Description | Functions | +=======================+=======================+==========================================+ | /sys/class/drm/card0/ | Used to | :ref:`zesDeviceEnumStandbyDomains`\() | | rc6_enable | enable/disable | :ref:`zesStandbyGetProperties`\() | | | standby. | :ref:`zesStandbyGetMode`\() | | | | :ref:`zesStandbySetMode`\() | +-----------------------+-----------------------+------------------------------------------+ | TBD | In development | TBD | +-----------------------+-----------------------+------------------------------------------+ Windows ------- The Windows driver will only permit telemetry requests coming from users with administrator permissions. It will only permit controls for system services with LocalServiceSid permissions. Virtualization -------------- In virtualization environments, only the host is permitted to access any features of the API. Attempts to use the API in virtual machines will fail.
