Important information before build !

FPTree use Intel Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) for concurrency control. The default retry threshold for oneTBB is only 10 for read write mutex.

  1. To achieve better scalability, we are using customized TBB library for FPTree (which is also the approach taken by the original author).
    Here are the steps to generate libtbb.so:
    • Clone oneTBB from github (https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneTBB.git)
      to this repo (i.e., /path/to/your/fptree/oneTBB).
    • Modify the read/write retry from 10 to 256 in oneTBB/src/tbb/rtm_mutex.cpp and oneTBB/src/tbb/rtm_rw_mutex.cpp
    • cd oneTBB && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j
    • Check that libtbb.so exists in oneTBB/build/gnu_11.1_cxx11_64_release
    • Modify CMakeLists.txt located in FPTree folder to use custom TBB
      • delete -ltbb flag in CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS which link to your default TBB built
      • add and modify them in the proper place in CMakeLists.txt
      link_directories(oneTBB/build/gnu_11.1_cxx11_64_release) # gnu version and cxx version could vary
include_directories(oneTBB/include)
    • After the line that adds fptree pibench wrapper library, do target link below. 
      target_link_libraries(fptree_pibench_wrapper libtbb.so)
    • Change header files in fptree.h to include those from custom tbb like this: 
      // #include <tbb/spin_mutex.h>
// #include <tbb/spin_rw_mutex.h>
#include "oneapi/tbb/spin_mutex.h"
#include "oneapi/tbb/spin_rw_mutex.h"
  2. Modify #define PMEMOBJ_POOL_SIZE in fptree.h if BACKEND = PMEM (defined in CMakeLists.txt)
  3. Modify #define MAX_INNER_SIZE 128 and #define MAX_LEAF_SIZE 64 in fptree.h if you want. These are tunable variable.
  4. To use HTM, you will need to turn on TSX on your machine. If you execute lscpu and see Vulnerability Tsx async abort: Vulnerable, then TSX is turned on. Otherwise, here is an example of how to turn on TSX on archlinux.
  • Make sure everything's up-to-date and consistent. Use pacman to do an update.
  • Add this line to /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="tsx=on tsx_async_abort=off loglevel=3 quiet"
  • Run these commands:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
systemctl reboot

Build (check out the next section for running pibench with the fptree wrapper)

Build PMEM Version

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DPMEM_BACKEND=PMEM ..

Build DRAM Version

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DPMEM_BACKEND=DRAM ..

All executables are in build/src folder

Inspector executable

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DPMEM_BACKEND=${BACKEND} -DBUILD_INSPECTOR=1 ..

Run inspector to check the correctness of single/multi-threaded insert, delete operations for both leaf nodes and inner nodes

If you want to check performance of this implementation, please see PiBench instruction below

Other build options

-DBUILD_INSPECTOR=1 to build inspector executable which can check the correctness of single/multi-threaded operations (insert, delete..)

-DTEST_MODE=1 to set the size of leaf nodes & inner nodes. (TEST MODE: MAX_INNER_SIZE=3 MAX_LEAF_SIZE=4 for debug usage)

Benchmark on PiBench

We officially support FPTree wrapper for pibench:

Checkout PiBench here: https://github.com/sfu-dis/pibench

Build/Create FPTree shared lib

mkdir Release && cd Release
cmake -DPMEM_BACKEND=<PMEM|DRAM> -DTEST_MODE=0 -DBUILD_INSPECTOR=0 ..

Troubleshooting

(1) If you see the error below when you try to run PiBench with this wrapper:

Error in dlopen(): /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.2: cannot allocate memory in static TLS block

You can try adding LD_PRELOAD before the PiBench executable:

LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/your/libjemalloc.so ./PiBench ...

(2) libpmemobj.so error.

Error in dlopen(): /path/to/libfptree_pibench_wrapper.so: undefined symbol: _pobj_cache_invalidate

Add /path/to/libpmemobj.so to LD_PRELOAD.
