FPGA-(CVP-13, XUPVV4): Hardware Modifications





Currently, (08d-10m-2018y), the Bittware cards (CVP-13, XUPVV4) do not require any modifications and will run at full speed out-of-the-box.

If you have a VCU1525 or BCU1525, you should acquire a DC1613A USB dongle to change the core voltage.

This dongle requires modifications to ‘fit’ into the connector on the VCU1525 or BCU1525.

You can make the modifications yourself as described here,

You can purchase buy a fully modified DC1613A from https://shop.fpga.guide.

If you have an Avnet AES-KU040 and you are brave enough to make the complex modifications to run at full hash rate, you can download the modification guide right here (it will be online in a few days).

You can see a video of the modded card On YouTube: Here.

If you have a VCU1525 or BCU1525, we recommend using the TUL Water Block (this water block was designed by TUL, the company that designed the VCU/BCU cards).

The water block can be purchased from https://shop.fpga.guide.



WARNING:  Installation of the water block requires a full disassembly of the FPGA card which may void your warranty.

Maximum hash rate (even beyond water-cooling) is achieved by immersion cooling, immersing the card in a non-conductive fluid.

Engineering Fluids makes BC-888 and EC-100 fluids which are non-boiling and easy to use at home. You can buy them here.

If you have a stock VCU1525, there is a danger of the power regulators failing from overheating, even if the FPGA is very cool.

 We recommend a simple modification to cool the power regulators by more than 10C.


The modification is very simple. You need:
First, cut a piece of thermal tape and apply it to the back side of the Slim X3 CPU cooler, and plug the fan into the fan controller:



Then, you are going to stick the CPU cooler on the back plate of the VCU1525 on this area:


Once done it will look like this:


Make sure to connect the fan controller to the power supply and run the fan on maximum speed.

This modification will cool the regulators on the back side of the VCU1525, dropping their temperature by more than 10C and extending the life of your hardware.

This modification is not needed on ‘newer’ versions of the hardware such as the XBB1525 or BCU1525.

FPGA's as Accelerators:
  • From the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Product Brief available at link.
  • "The FPGA is designed to create custom hardware with each instruction being accelerated providing more efficiency use of the hardware than that of the CPU or GPU architecture would allow." 


Hardware:
  • With Intel, developers can utilize an x86 with a built-in FPGA or connect a card with an Intel or Xilinx FPGA to an x86. This Host + FPGA Acceleration would typically be used in a "server."
  • With Intel and Xilinx, developers can also get a chip with an ARM core + FPGA. This FPGA + ARM SoC Acceleration is typically used in embedded systems.
  • Developers can also connect a GPU card from Nvidia to an x86 host. Developers can also get an integrated GPU from Intel. Nvidia also provides chips with ARM cores + GPUs.

Tools:
  • Intel and Xilinx provide tools to help developers accelerate x86 code execution using an FPGA attached to the x86. They also provide tools to accelerate ARM code execution using an FPGA attached to the ARM.
  • Intel, Xilinx and Nvidia all provide OpenCL libraries to access their hardware. These libraries can not interoperate with one another. Intel also provides libraries to support OpenMP and Nvidia provides CUDA for programming their GPUS. Xilinx includes their OpenCL library in an SDK called SDAccel and an SDK called SDSoC. SDAccel is used for x86 + Xilinx FPGA systems, i.e. servers. SDSoC is used for Xilinx chips with ARM + FPGAs, i.e. embedded systems.

Libraries:
  • To help developers building computer vision applications, Xilinx provides OpenVX, Caffe, OpenCV and various DNN and CNN libraries in an SDK called reVISION for software running on chips with an ARM+FPGA.
  • All of these libraries and many more are available for x86 systems.
  • Xilinx also provides neural network inference, HEVC decoders and encoders and SQL data-mover, function accelerator libraries.

Tools for FPGA + ARM SoC Acceleration Intel:
  • From link developers can work with ARM SoCs from Intel using:
  • ARM DS-5 for debug
  • SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite for embedded software development tools
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Software for working with the programmable logic
  • Virtual Platform for simulating the ARM
  • SoC Linux for running Linux on the FPGA + ARM SoC
  • Higher Level
  • Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ is available for programming the ARM + FPGA chips using OpenCL.

Xilinx:
  • Developers can work with ARM SoCs from Xilinx using:
  • An SDK for application development and debug
  • PetaLinux Tools for Linux development and ARM simulation and
  • Vivado for using the PL for working with its FPGA + ARM SoC chips


Higher Level:
  • Xilinx provides SDSoC for accelerating ARM applications on the built-in FPGA. Users can program in C and/or C++ and SDSoC will automatically partition the algorithm between the ARM core and the FPGA. Developers can also program using OpenCL and SDSoC will link in an embedded OpenCL library and build the resulting ARM+FPGA system. SDSoC also supports debugging and profiling.


Domain Specific:
Xilinx leverages SDSoC to create an embedded vision stack called reVISION.

SPINPACK

Author:

What is SpinPack?

SPINPACK is a big program package to compute lowest eigenvalues and eigenstates and various expectation values (spin correlations etc) for quantum spin systems.



These model systems can for example describe magnetic properties of insulators at very low temperatures (T=0) where the magnetic moments of the particles form entangled quantum states.


The package generates the symmetrized configuration vector, the sparse matrix representing the quantum interactions and computes its eigenvectors and finaly some expectation values for the system.

The first SPINPACK version was based on Nishimori's TITPACK (Lanczos method, no symmetries), but it was early converted to C/C++ and completely rewritten (1994/1995).

Other diagonalization algorithms are implemented too (Lanzcos, 2x2-diagonalization and LAPACK/BLAS for smaller systems). It is able to handle Heisenberg, t-J, and Hubbard-systems up to 64 sites or more using special compiler and CPU features (usually up to 128) or more sites in slower emulation mode (C++ required).

For instance we got the lowest eigenstates for the Heisenberg Hamiltonian on a 40 site square lattice on our machines at 2002. Note that the resources needed for computation grow exponentially with the system size.

The package is written mainly in C to get it running on all unix systems. C++ is only needed for complex eigenvectors and twisted boundary conditions when C has no complex extension. This way the package is very portable.

Parallelization can be done using MPI- and PTHREAD-library. Mixed mode (hybrid mode) is possible, but not always faster than pure MPI (2015). v2.60 has slightly hybrid mode advantage on CPUs supporting hyper-threading.

This will hopefully be improved further. MPI-scaling is tested to work up to 6000 cores, PTHREAD-scaling up to 510 cores but requires careful tuning (scaling 2008-1016).

The program can use all topological symmetries, S(z) symmetry and spin inversion to reduce matrix size. This will reduce the needed computing recources by a linear factor.

Since 2015/2016 CPU vector extensions (SIMD, SSE2, AVX2) are supported to get better performance doing symmetry operations on bit representations of the quantum spins.

The results are very reliable because the package has been used since 1995 in scientific work. Low-latency High-bandwith network and low latency memory is needed to get best performance on large scale clusters.

    Documentation:

    The documentation is available in the doc-path. Most parts of the documentation are rewritten in english now.

    If you still find some parts written in german or out-of-date documentation send me an email with a short hint where I find this part and I want to rewrite this part as soon as I can.

    Please see doc/history.html for latest changes. You can find a documentation about speed in the package or an older version on this spinpack-speed-page.


    Most Important Function:

    The most time consuming important function is b_smallest in hilbert.c. This function computes the representator of a set of symmetric spin configurations (bit pattern) from a member of this set.

    It also returns a phase factor and the orbit length. It would be a great progress, if the performance of that function could be improved. Ideas are welcome.

    One of my motivations is to use FPGAs in 2009 was inspired by the FPGA/VHDL-Compiler.

    These are Xilings-tools and are so slow, badly scaling and buggy, that code generation and debugging is really no fun and a much better FPGA toolchain is needed for HPC, but all that is fixed now with updates.

    2015-05 I added software benes-network to get gain of AVX2, but it looks like that its still not the maximum available speed (HT shows near 2 factor, bitmask falls out of L1-cache?).

    Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

     Q: I try to diagonalize a 4-spin system, but I do not get the full spectrum. Why?
     A: Spinpack is designed to handle big systems. Therefore it uses as much
        symmetries as it can. The very small 4-spin system has a very special
        symmetry which makes it equivalent to a 2-spin system build by two s=1 spins.
        Spinpack uses this symmetry automatically to give you the possibility
        to emulate s=1 (or s=3/2,etc) spin systems by pairs of s=1/2 spins.
        If you want to switch this off, edit src/config.h and change
        CONFIG_S1SYM to CONFIG_NOS1SYM.
