Cuml: [BUG] Ridiculously huge effort needed for building cuML from source on a non-docker env!

Created on 19 Dec 2019  Â·  16Comments  Â·  Source: rapidsai/cuml

Hi all,
For the past 3 days (on-and-off), I’ve been trying to build cuML from source, outside of docker, and till today I haven’t succeeded in this effort at all!

So far...
I've tried the following approaches. All of which have miserably failed.

conda + conda-cmake, but explicitly specified gcc
In this approach, I was using environmental modules with gcc v5.4.0, ctk v10.1.105, while cmake was installed via conda itself. This initially failed with FAISS complaining unable to find blas. Was able to fix this by installing openblas via conda itself. However, this fails at linker stage saying undefined reference to google::protobuf* messages. Even gcc v7.3.0 had the same issue.

conda + conda-cmake + conda-forge compilers
Same as above setup, but installed the compilers package from conda-forge channel. This now causes FAISS to error out saying unable to find cublas. When I look at config.log I noticed errors like undefined reference to cublasLt*. I could fix this issue locally via adding -lcublasLt option to the commandline, but couldn't figure out how to pass this information from the cmake of cuML!

Expected behavior
Atleast a guide/doc to setup a conflict-free environment for building cuML from source. A build.md is not enough here. Actually documenting a list of concrete steps would be better, IMO.

Environment details (please complete the following information):

  • Environment location: Bare-metal
  • Linux Distro/Architecture: CentOS 7
  • GPU Model/Driver: V100 and driver 418.87
  • CUDA: 10.1
  • Method of cuDF install: conda
  • Method of cuML install: source at HEAD of branch-0.12
  • conda: installed via latest Miniconda script

Here's the script I've been using for this experiment: https://gist.github.com/teju85/51ff12886f5ae9967a4cab6fd0376953

Download and run it as env Root=/path/to/install/conda-and-cuml bash rapids-setup installCuml

Seems like this is not an isolated incident. @nikiforov-sm here also seems to be facing issues while trying to build cuML from source.

Hi Thejaswi,

Did you try creating a conda environment using the cuda_dev_cida10.0.yml file like below?

conda env create -n cuml_dev python=3.7 --file=conda/environments/cuml_dev_cuda10.0.yml

If not, I highly recommend using the yml file. After your conda environment is ready, you can use build.sh file. That mostly works for me.

@oyilmaz-nvidia yes, the script I linked in my 2nd comment above uses the conda-env yaml file itself.

@jakirkham also mentioned trying to use the nvcc_linux-64 conda-forge package. Trying it out now...

@teju85 I work exclusively building cuML on bare metal and build it every day using the instructions in the build document (sometimes with multiple new conda environments in a single day) never using docker at all in my development, and other cuML devs also typically don’t use the Dockerfiles or containers. It seems that the devs that you linked in the issue also were able to build cuML after following Vishal’s advice of creating a new conda environment. On the other hand it would be good to identify the particular issue you’re facing since it could be common with conflicts between a system gcc and conda libraries and document it/ solve it, since it could be more typical outside the common Ubuntu/centOS/conda/etc. that we typically use during development.

The issue that might be hiding here and causing issues could be protobuf missing some abi flags or some additional inheritance configuration which is something to look at ASAP. I use Ubuntu typically, I wonder if @cjnolet has seen the protobuf issues since he uses centOS as well (and I believe no Docker, but not 100% sure).

Could you run the print_env.sh script that is in the cuDF repo? That definitely will help to troubleshoot and to repro the issues

@dantegd here's the output of print_env.sh

@dantegd @cjnolet I didn't see anything suspicious in the above list. Did you guys find any?

@teju85 there are significant differences from your configuration and the typical setup I use (and tend to see with other devs, of course not universal):

  1. My compilers:

Generally speaking I would recommend system compilers like the first approach you were doing (at least for now), would there be a chance of getting a print of the printenv script before trying to use the conda compilers?

  1. The PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables are significantly different. I think the former might have been the source of the issue with protobuf since it should've found it in the conda env, but there might be some adjustment needed in the patch for the protobuf configuration of treelite (i.e. this https://github.com/rapidsai/cuml/blob/branch-0.12/cpp/cmake/treelite_protobuf.patch).

Just for reference:

PATH                            : /usr/local/cuda-10.1u2/bin:/home/dante/miniconda3/envs/ss1219/bin:/home/dante/miniconda3/condabin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH                 : /usr/local/cuda/lib64 (I add the conda lib path here as well, it wasn't in my rc when I logged in to the computer)

Did you change yours before trying to use the conda compilers? Just to be sure of what was causing the protobuf issue.

There are significant differences in the conda environments, but its hard to say if those are significant since the compilers and other extra conda packages might have just brought them in and they might be innocuous.

Additionally I already started the revamped build and developer documentation (with a better/concise set of steps!), and will have a version ready early this coming week, will ping you for a review and to be sure to solve this issue asap. I also leave the printenv result of the workstation I use (that is mostly used for RAPIDS development) where I use no Docker whatsoever just in case you want to compare as well

@dantegd I cannot use the default system-provided compiler on this cluster since it is super-old!

$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
$ gcc --version | grep GCC
gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)

However, on this system, there's env-modules with gcc-7.3.0 available. That's something I can use. Let me use this instead of conda-compiler and give you all the details you asked for above.

Curiosity question: @dantegd
If we rely on conda for everything, why don't we recommend picking up compilers from conda itself? Personally, I feel very uneasy installing openblas, cudatoolkit, boost etc via conda, but then use system-gcc to compile the code.

@teju85 Just jumping in here. The struggle has been that it's a bit difficult to integrate nvcc into the conda ecosystem and have it use the conda shipped host compilers reliably and easily. @jakirkham has been spearheading a lot of work in this space and I think we recently have come to a solution that is ready to have the tires kicked across the RAPIDS libraries.

I see. Thanks @kkraus14. On specifically the nvcc part, I had a brief chat with @jakirkham on this one and the last time I tried to use nvcc_linux-64 conda package, I think it still expected one to install cuda toolkit (due to licensing restrictions) separately.

oh.. BTW, let me also mention that when I run cmake inside cuML, I always get the following warning from it:

which is probably because of conflict between cudatoolkit in conda and the cuda installation in the system.

@dantegd I still get the protobuf linker errors, even with the above mentioned system-gcc.
Here's my print_env with system-gcc.

Hi all,

I spent about a week to build cuML without conda, docker, etc... Had a lot of bugs, but all of them were linker missing some libs. To fix protobuf bug mentioned above, I modified CMakeFiles/cuml++.dir/link.txt file and added -lprotobuf at the end.

Another common bug related to python packages is missing declaration of cuda, cudart in setup.py
For example, I modified setup.py this way to fix segfaul when I import cuml in python.
libs = ['cuda', 'cudart', 'cuml++', 'rmm']
library_dirs=[get_python_lib(), libcuml_path, "/usr/local/cuda-10.2/lib64/"]
