Cholla Docker Build Instructions

This document provides instructions on how to build Cholla into a Docker container that is portable between environments.

Build System Requirements

• Git
• Docker

Inputs

Possible build-arg for the Docker build command

• IMAGE

  Default: rocm_gpu:6.2.4

  Note:
  This container needs to be build using Base ROCm GPU.

• CHOLLA_BRANCH

  Default: CAAR
  Branch/Tag found: Cholla repo

• HDF5_BRANCH

  Default: hdf5-1_14_1
  Branch/Tag found: HDF5 repo

Building Container

Download the Dockerfile and make.host.cholla

To run the default configuration:

docker build -t mycontainer/cholla -f /path/to/Dockerfile . 

Notes:

• mycontainer is an example container name.
• the . at the end of the build line is important. It tells Docker where your build context is located.
• -f /path/to/Dockerfile is only required if your docker file is in a different directory than your build context. If you are building in the same directory it is not required.

To run a custom configuration, include one or more customized build-arg
DISCLAIMER: This Docker build has only been validated using the default values. Using a different base image or branch may result in build failures or poor performance.

docker build \
    -t mycontainer/cholla \
    -f /path/to/Dockerfile \
    --build-arg CHOLLA_BRANCH=main \
    --build-arg HDF5_BRANCH=develop
    . 

Running an Cholla Container

Both Docker and Singularity can be run interactively or as a single command.

To run the Cholla Benchmarks, just replace the <Cholla Command> the examples in Running Cholla Benchmarks section of the Cholla readme. The commands can be run directly in an interactive session as well.

Docker

If you want access to the HDF5 files generated during the run, please add -v $(pwd):/benchmark before mycontainer/cholla in the following commands.

Docker Interactive

docker run --rm -it --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri --security-opt seccomp=unconfined mycontainer/cholla /bin/bash

Docker Single Command

docker run --rm -it --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri --security-opt seccomp=unconfined mycontainer/cholla <Cholla Command>

Singularity

If you want access to the HDF5 files generated during the run, please add --bind $(pwd):/benchmark before cholla.sif in the following run commands.

Build Singularity image from Docker

To build a Singularity image from the locally created docker file do the following:

singularity build cholla.sif docker-daemon://mycontainer/cholla:latest

Singularity Interactive

To launch a Singularity image build locally.

singularity shell --no-home --writable-tmpfs --pwd /benchmark cholla.sif

Singularity Single Command

To launch a Singularity image build locally.

singularity run --no-home --writable-tmpfs --pwd /benchmark cholla.sif <Cholla Command>
