[筆記] 在ubuntu 18.04 下安裝nvidia 顯示卡驅動程式以及 pgstrom / Install Nvidia Driver Cuda Pgstrom in Ubuntu 1804

2019-08-20

因為老闆說要試試看用GPU 來跑postgresql 威力

手邊剛好有一張 geforce gt 720

一開始沒想太多，看到有這張卡的驅動程式，然後CUDA也有支援

就直接從桌機拔下來，接去LAB Server ，然後就開始一連串的難關了…

整個過程大致上分為四個步驟

安裝 nvidia driver

安裝 CUDA

安裝 postgresql

安裝 pgstrom

安裝 nvidia driver

試過幾種方法，最後還是覺得用apt來安裝比較妥當
先新增repository、update、裝driver

1
2
3

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ubuntu-drivers-common

然後用這個指令

1	ubuntu-drivers devices

看一下現在的驅動程式狀態

administrator@hqdc032:~/pg-strom$ ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001288sv0000174Bsd0000326Bbc03sc00i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : GK208B [GeForce GT 720]
driver   : nvidia-driver-410 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-driver-418 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-340 - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-430 - third-party free recommended
driver   : nvidia-driver-390 - third-party free
driver   : nvidia-driver-415 - third-party free
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

我這張卡，可以裝到 430 的版本，
接下來就繼續安裝驅動程式、裝完之後重開機

1 2	sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430 sudo reboot

這時候，應該可以看到一些基本資訊

1	lsmod\|grep nvidia

大概長這樣

nvidia_uvm            798720  0
nvidia_drm             45056  3
nvidia_modeset       1093632  7 nvidia_drm
nvidia              18194432  258 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset
drm_kms_helper        172032  1 nvidia_drm
drm                   401408  6 drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm
ipmi_msghandler        53248  2 ipmi_devintf,nvidia

到這邊 nvidia 驅動程式安裝完成，接下來安裝 cuda

安裝 CUDA

同樣採用官網下載deb 回來安裝的方法

到這邊 https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

依照自己的系統選擇

我選擇 Linux – x86_64 – Ubuntu – 18.04 – deb(local)

畫面上就會有安裝步驟，照著做就沒問題了

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu1804.pin
sudo mv cuda-ubuntu1804.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/10.1/Prod/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-10-1-local-10.1.243-418.87.00_1.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-10-1-local-10.1.243-418.87.00_1.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-10-1-local-10.1.243-418.87.00/7fa2af80.pub
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda

一樣，安裝完成後重新開機，然後來編譯一個 deviceQuery 的小程式來看看資訊

1 2	cd /usr/local/cuda-10.1/samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery sudo make

會產生一個叫 deviceQuery 的執行檔，執行後，會有相關資訊

administrator@hqdc032:/usr/local/cuda-10.1/samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery$ ./deviceQuery 
./deviceQuery Starting...

deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 10.1, CUDA Runtime Version = 10.1, NumDevs = 1
Result = PASS

到這邊， CUDA 也安裝完成，再來是簡單的 postgresql 11

安裝 postgresql 11

步驟差不多，就是新增repository，然後選擇要安裝的套件，不過套件的選擇和平常安裝postgresql 不太一樣

sudo apt install wget ca-certificates
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ `lsb_release -cs`-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql-client-11 postgresql-11 postgresql-server-dev-11 postgresql-common libicu-dev

跑完之後，就直接啟動 postgresql service 就可以了

再來是最麻煩的 pgstorm

pgstorm

話說，這軟體到底叫啥名字？ pgstrom , pg-strom ? 看起來就像是拼錯字啊！ =.=

https://github.com/heterodb/pg-strom

先 git clone 回來，然後make、make install

講是很簡單，但是一開始碰到很多問題，有去github 跟開發團隊回報，幸好有回覆我..

總之，目前在ubuntu 18.04 + postgresql-11 的環境下編譯是沒有問題了

UPDATE

今天拿到一張 GTX 1050 ti ，想說終於可以來測試看看 pg_strom 了

不過發現在ubuntu 底下，照著這篇操作還是會有問題

在做完git clone 要 make 之前，要先執行底下兩行指令

其中的 11 是 postgresql 版本，要依照自己安裝的版本做調整

1 2	sudo ln -snf /usr/lib/postgresql/11/lib/libpgcommon.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpgcommon.a sudo ln -snf /usr/lib/postgresql/11/lib/libpgport.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpgport.a

接著再去 make 就沒問題了

1
2
3

git clone https://github.com/heterodb/pg-strom.git
cd pg-strom
make && sudo make install

再來設定一下 postgresql

postgresql 相關設定

需要修改一下postgresql.conf，來指定載入 pgstrom 的 library

官方是這麼說的

1	PG-Strom module must be loaded on startup of the postmaster process by the shared_preload_libraries. Unable to load it on demand. Therefore, you must add the configuration below.

修改 /etc/postgresql/11/main/postgresql.conf
加入一行

1	shared_preload_libraries = '$libdir/pg_strom'

然後還有其他三個要修改，不過這個不改不會影響pgstrom 的啟動

看狀況要不要修改吧

1
2
3

max_worker_processes = 100
shared_buffers = 10GB
work_mem = 1GB

修改完後，重新啟動 postgresql service 有沒有很感動！？我終於可以享受用GPU跑SQL Query 的快感啦！！！

咦？？等等，為什麼postgresql service 沒起來！？

看一下 /var/log/syslog

啊幹！pg-strom 不支援這張GT 720啦！

https://github.com/heterodb/pg-strom/wiki/001:-GPU-Availability-Matrix

簡單說，就是至少從 GTX 1080 起跳，其他都不用想了

幹，花了兩天的時間在弄這東西，結果明明一開始就應該要先檢查的相容列表卻沒有檢查…

好了，現在就看准不准我買一張 GTX 1080 來測試了….

只是這價格嘛…嗯咳，不是我該煩惱的問題了..
