< < | parallel file validationthreading and multiprocessingIn computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed. It contains the program code and its current activity. A thread is a stream of instructions in a process and multithreading consists of multiple threads running within a process concurrently. Multiprocessing is the instantiation of multiple processes by the operating system. An error in one thread can bring down all the threads of a process while an error in a process can not (easily) bring down another process.Python Global Interpreter LockThe Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is a mutual exclusion lock held by a programming language interpreter thread in order to avoid sharing code that is not thread-safe with other threads. Programs written in programming languages with a GIL can use separate processes to achieve parallelism. The Python interpreter is not fully thread safe and, so, a GIL is implemented in order to support multithreaded Python programs. Without the GIL, even many simple operations are problematic (e.g. incrementing the reference count of some common object simultaneously in two threads could result in a single increment, rather than the intended two increments). As a rule in Python, only the thread that has acquired the GIL may operate on Python objects or call API functions. The Python interpreter attempts to switch threads regularly (usingset.checkinterval() ) in order to emulate concurrency.
Python multiprocessingThe Python module multiprocessing![]()

multiprocessing communicationsObjects may be exchanged between processes through two main types of communication:
queuesQueues are simple-to-implement objects that are essentially a thread/process safe first in, first out data structure. They can store any pickleable (serialisable) Python object and and are straightforward to use for sharing data between processes.pipesThePipe() function returns a pair of connection objects connected by a pipe allowing for duplex (two way) communications. The two connection objects returned by Pipe() represent the two 'ends' of the pipe. Each end has methods such as send() and recv() .
locksLocks are straightforward ways of allowing code to claim a lock, blocking other processes from executing similar code until the process is complete. The lock then may be released.simple programsUsingProcess , Queue and Lock instances, simple programs may be implemented. A rough idea for a program may have a work queue (data to be processed in some way) and result queue (answers produced from the data) used as communications. Processes may be created, as required for performing the work, and then started. The processes may be controlled using a list or a Pool . After all processes have been started, processes may be stopped by telling the processes to join . Each process may store the result of its work in the result queue and this queue could be printed after the child processes have exited.
Job Transforms file validationJob Transforms can allow most of the complexity of standard Athena jobs to be hidden and to be updated by experts as necessary. As part of managing the processing of the job, Job Transforms offers the ability to test and validate input and output files. This is because errors in file access can be difficult to diagnose in the online software and, once a file has been written, it is useful to check that it reads the file back off the storage system. The transforms should offer the ability to do both fast (e.g., event count checks) and deep (full ROOT scans) of files. (As the value of such checks must be balanced against the cost of doing them, in practice ATLAS makes a fast check on input files and a deeper check of output files.) The legacy method of validating files produced by Job Transforms is to complete file validations one by one, serially. Parallelisation of processes such as file validations offers a means of reducing running time and is useful for the purposes of AthenaMP.Amdhal's lawAmdhal's law asserts that the speedup of a program using multiple processors in parallel computing is limited by the sequential fraction of the program.parallel job processorThe parallel job processor is, as its name suggests, the system that manages the processing of jobs in parallel. Core to its functioning is the Python multiprocessing module. Multiprocessing is a Python module that supports the spawning of processes using an interface similar to the threading module. In effect, multiprocessing offers an approach to bypassing the Python Global Interpreter Lock by using subprocesses instead of threads. Here is described visually a non-exhaustive illustration of the parallel job processor and associated concepts. The figure below illustrates the basic structure of the parallel job processor. Of particular note are the objects
![]() Job and JobGroup definitionsA Job for the parallel job processor consists of
submissionA Job or a JobGroup is submitted to the parallel job processor. The parallel job processor submits all jobs to the process pool it created on initialisation, recording the submission time.checking for results, timeouts and failuresSubmissions are monitored for timeouts and failures, with exceptions being raised when appropriate. Timeouts are measured at theJobGroup level, rather than at the Job level.
getting resultsResults of jobs returned by the process pool are propagated to the Jobs and to theJobGroup as they become available.
return resultsResults of all jobs are stored in order in the results list of theJobGroup . This list is returned by the parallel job processor.
usageThe code below depicts an example job group for the parallel job processor. In this case, it is a unit test for the system. Here, a job group of two jobs is defined. One of the jobs specifies a hello world function with a sleep time argument and the other specifies a multiplication function with multiplicand arguments. There is a timeout specified for each job.![]() ![]()
![]() in a pickle: the current difficulties of serial communications between processesSerialisation is the process of converting an object to a bytestream. Serialisation of objects for the purposes of communications is provided by the Python pickle module. Certain objects important to file validations cannot be pickled. Specifically, the legacy validation functions were not workable. The solution was to make new validation functions. The serialisation limitations are likely to be addressed in due course in the shorter term with more advanced serialisation methods such as those offered by https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dill and in the longer term with improvements in Python parallelisation and GIL handling. Dill provides the user with the same interface as pickle and also includes additional features. Its primary use is to send Python objects across a network as a bytestream. It is quite flexible and allows arbitrary user-defined classes and functions to be serialised. Dill is part of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pathos, a Python framework for heterogeneous computing. Dill is in early development stages.data validationThe standard validation procedure for output files is defined by the functionperformStandardFileValidation of the module PyJobTransforms.trfValidation. This function oversees the identification of a validation function appropriate for a given data type and the management of work for the parallel job processor.
In order to address the limitations of pickle, separate data validation functions, such as returnIntegrityOfPOOLFile , are provided by the module PyJobTransforms.trfFileValidationFunctions. The integrity functions defined in this package are associated with the classes of the various data types in the module PyJobTransforms.trfArgClasses. Specifically, the name of the validation function appropriate for a type of data is defined as a data member of the class for the data type. In the case of POOL files, the specification is as follows:
unit testsThe unit tests for the parallel job processor are defined intest_trfUtilsParallelJobProcessor.py and the unit tests for validation of data using the parallel job processor are defined in test_trfUtilsParallelJobProcessorData.py . The unit tests for the parallel job processor include testing of work functions that are valid, that time out and that fail. The unit tests for the data validation using the parallel job processor include testing of AOD, corrupted AOD, ESD, histogram, TAG and bytestream data. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

parallel file validationthreading and multiprocessing
Python Global Interpreter LockThe Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is a mutual exclusion lock held by a programming language interpreter thread in order to avoid sharing code that is not thread-safe with other threads. Programs written in programming languages with a GIL can use separate processes to achieve parallelism. The Python interpreter is not fully thread safe and, so, a GIL is implemented in order to support multithreaded Python programs. Without the GIL, even many simple operations are problematic (e.g. incrementing the reference count of some common object simultaneously in two threads could result in a single increment, rather than the intended two increments). As a rule in Python, Only the thread that has acquired the GIL may operate on Python objects or call API functions. The Python interpreter attempts to switch threads regularly (usingset.checkinterval() ) in order to emulate concurrency.
Python multiprocessingThe Python module "multiprocessing" is a process-based 'threading' interface. It
start() method.
multiprocessing communicationsObjects may be exchanged between processes through two main types of communication:
a taste of Python multiprocessing: queuesQueues are simple to implement objects that are essentially a thread/process safe first in, first out data structure. They can store any pickleable (serialisable) Python object and and are straightforward to use for sharing data between processes.pipesThePipe() function returns a pair of connection objects connected by a pipe allowing for duplex (two way) communications. The two connection objects returned by Pipe() represent the two 'ends' of the pipe. Each end has methods such as send() and recv() .
locksLocks are straightforward ways of allowing code to claim a lock, blocking other processes from executing similar code until the process is complete. The lock then may be released.simple programsUsingProcess s, Queue s and Lock s, simple programs may be implemented. A rough idea for a program may have a work queue (data to be processed in some way) and result queue (answers produced from the data) used as communications. Processes may be created, as required for performing the work, and then started. The processes may be controlled using a list or a Pool . After all processes have been started, processes may be stopped by telling the processes to join . Each process may store the result of its work in the result queue and this queue could be printed after the child processes have exited.
multiprocessing in Job Transforms
future: implementation of multiprocessing in Job Transforms (travelling to CERN soon to work more directly on project)
Job Transforms file validationJob Transforms can allow most of the complexity of standard Athena jobs to be hidden and to be updated by experts as necessary. As part of managing the processing of the job, Job Transforms offers the ability to test and validate input and output files. This is because errors in file access can be difficult to diagnose in the online software and, once a file has been written, it is useful to check that it reads the file back off the storage system. The transforms should offer the ability to do both fast (e.g., event count checks) and deep (full ROOT scans) of files. (As the value of such checks must be balanced against the cost of diong them, in practice ATLAS makes a fast check on input files and a deeper check of output files.) The legacy method of validating files produced by Job Transforms is to complete file validations one by one, serially. Parallelisation of processes such as file validations offers a means of reducing running time and is useful for the purposes of AthenaMP.Amdhal's lawAmdhal's law asserts that the speedup of a program using multiple processors in parallel computing is limited by the sequential fraction of the program.parallel job processorThe parallel job processor is a central part of the service task.
