Matrix Multiply Embedded Python and GPU
Does anyone know a better data structure for matrices being passed to embedded python where a GPU will multiply them? By better I mean the conversion to a GPU format will take the least amount of time.
In the following implementation, it takes the embedded python code approximately 21 seconds to convert to GPU format the 2 passed matrices that are 10,000 by 20,000 and 20,000 by 10,000. But, it only takes the GPU approximately 3 1/3 seconds to multiply the 2 matrices once the matrices are converted.
In the following implementation, the embedded python code computes the amount of time is takes to a) convert the 2 matrices to GPU format; b) do matrix multiplication, and c) convert the resultant matrix to a ecl dataset format.
The embedded python code puts the times in a file called TimeOfMatrixMultiply.txt. The directory where the file is stored is /var/lib/HPCCSystms/myeclagent.
(NOTE: All the ecl code I show below was ran on hthor.)
NOTE:I deployed my hpcc system on AWS using a g2.2xlarge instance type, which comes with a GPU. Also in region us-west-2, I used the AMI, ami-638c1e03, which comes with all the software you will need, except hpcc.
The following embedded python will get the timings.
The following ecl code makes the 2 matrices that are multiplied.

Tim,
I ran your MakeMatrix() code (changing to 10 rows and 20 columns) and saw that each row ends up with exactly the same data. Is that intentional?

Richard,
No, numbers in different rows should not be the same. I'm surprised they are.
Could the problem be the NORMALIZE I have in the transform, genMatrix, of a 2nd NORMALIZE? Plus, maybe I'm thinking procedurally instead of declaratively???

Tim,
I'm not entirely sure why your code was getting the same row repeated each time, but here's my version of your code that DOES generate a different row for each record.

Richard,
I like your code. It does everything I wanted to do inside MakeMatrix. And, it is much shorter than my code.
I did notice one odd behavior of the code -- matrices A and B have the same values. Again, I don't understand this behavior. I entered a jira asking why (HPCC-19025).
