Deep Learning HOWTO with IBM Minsky Power8 server, Ubuntu 16.04, Caffe-NV and Kitti (Part 5).

This is the last part where we will optimize first the environment and then we will perform finally a test run of the Kitti test. :-)

Optimize the system

# Optimize the environment

root@minsky:~# nvidia-smi -pm ENABLED

All done.

All done.



# If you want you can unconfigure the Nvidia ECC memory capability too (should provide some extra advantage)

root@minsky:~# nvidia-smi -e 0 # 0 is a zero

Deep Learning HOWTO with IBM Minsky Power8 server, Ubuntu 16.04, Caffe-NV and Kitti (Part 2)

Minsky server has some differences when you compare with a regular one. By large the most time consuming one (if you do not know it) is the BMC port and how to connect to it.
Here is the explanation.

Interfaces in Minsky

IBM Minsky server (model 8335-GTB) has 3 NICs (Ethernet interfaces), however it only has two physical ports.

Watching the back of the server you will find both Ports (Port0 and Port1)



Port 1 is a common port that can be configured as a regular NIC in the OS.
Port 0 is a physical port that has two internal NICs, it shows 2 different MAC addresses to the network.
  1. The first MAC address is from a NIC that can be used in the OS as another regular eth adapters.
  2. The second MAC is from the BMC interface. It is configured as DHCP by default.

Implementing the connection

You can use whatever solution you prefer to connect, just checking the interface (see the first commands of our solution) for the acquired IP address but as we do not have DHCP server we will configure a static IP address in the same range as the NIC1, forgetting about the NIC0 interface.

From Ubuntu CLI

  1. Install the necessary packages in the host OS.

root@minsky:/etc/network# apt install ipmitool

  1. Then we have to install the ipmi driver

root@minsky:/etc/network# modprobe ipmi_devintf

  1. Now we will check the actual configuration
root@minsky:/etc/network# ipmitool lan print 1

Deep Learning HOWTO with IBM Minsky Power8 server, Ubuntu 16.04, Caffe-NV and Kitti (Part 1)

Who should be reading this

This document is suited to anyone who wants to start testing deep learning in a supercomputer scale with an IBM Minsky server.
It will help installing all the latest and greatest components of this solution and then will help to run an example of deep learning as KITTI test is.

Justification of the document

You can follow IBM official doc (located here →https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?htmlfid=POO03514WWEN ) to install the components necessary run this test.

However if you want the latest and greatest versions of all SW components you will find here a quick guide to install all of them with examples included

Ubuntu 16.04.02 OS installation


# Download Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS from this URL (check if there is something newer)

# Burn the ISO into a USB drive and boot the system.

# Select the 4.4 kernel as in the photo (be aware that you may be presented with the option of installing HWE (shipped with kernel version 4.8. This is not supported at the time of writing this doc).

# Install only ssh and base packages.

# After first boot check the output is kernel 4.4 (not 4.8)
