RcppParallel 并行化距离计算:segfault

RcppParallel Parallelizing distance computation: segfault

我有一个矩阵,我想为它计算第 i 行和每隔一行之间的距离(比如说欧几里德)(即我想要 i成对距离矩阵的第行)。

#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <cmath>
#include <algorithm>
#include <RcppParallel.h>
//#include <RcppArmadillo.h>
#include <queue>

using namespace std;
using namespace Rcpp;
using namespace RcppParallel;

// [[Rcpp::export]]
double dist_fun(NumericVector row1, NumericVector row2){
   double rval = 0;
   for (int i = 0; i < row1.length(); i++){
      rval += (row1[i] - row2[i]) * (row1[i] - row2[i]);
   }
   return rval;
}

// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericVector dist_row(NumericMatrix mat, int i){
   NumericVector row(mat.nrow());

   NumericMatrix::Row row1 = mat.row(i - 1);
   for (int j = 0; j < mat.nrow(); j++){
      NumericMatrix::Row row2 = mat.row(j);

      row(j) = dist_fun(row1, row2);
   }
   return row;
}

// [[Rcpp::depends(RcppParallel)]]
struct JsDistance: public Worker {

   // input matrix to read from
   const NumericMatrix mat;
   int i;

   // output vector to write to
   NumericVector output;

   // initialize from Rcpp input and output matrixes (the RMatrix class
   // can be automatically converted to from the Rcpp matrix type)
   JsDistance(const NumericMatrix mat, int i, NumericVector output)
      : mat(mat), i(i), output(output) {}


   // function call operator that work for the specified range (begin/end)
    void operator()(std::size_t begin, std::size_t end) {
      NumericVector row1 = mat.row(i);
      for (std::size_t j = begin; j < end; j++) {

         NumericVector row2 = mat.row(j);
         output[j] = dist_fun(row1, row2);
      }
    }
};

// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericVector parallel_dist_row(NumericMatrix mat, int i) {

   // allocate the matrix we will return
   NumericVector output(mat.nrow());

   // create the worker
   JsDistance JsDistance(mat, i, output);

   // call it with parallelFor
   parallelFor(0, mat.nrow(), JsDistance);
   return output;
}

使用Rcpp的顺序方式就是上面写的函数'row_dist'。然而我想要处理的矩阵非常大,所以我想将它并行化。但是然后我会 运行 进入一个段错误,我不太明白为什么。要触发错误,您可以 运行 以下代码:

library(Rcpp)
library(RcppParallel)

setThreadOptions(numThreads = 20)


set.seed(42)
X = matrix(rnorm(10000 * 400), 10000, 400)
sourceCpp("question.cpp")


start1 = proc.time()
print(dist_row(X, 2)[1:30])
print(proc.time() - start1)

start2 = proc.time()
print(parallel_dist_row(X, 2)[1:30])
print(proc.time() - start2)

有人可以提示我做错了什么吗?提前感谢您的宝贵时间!

编辑:

inline double d(double a, double b){
   return fabs(a - b);
}

    // [[Rcpp::depends(RcppParallel)]
struct dtwDistance: public Worker {

  // Input matrix to read from must be of the RMatrix<T> form
  // if using Rcpp objects
  const RMatrix<double> mat;
  int i;

  // Output vector to write to must be of the RVector<T> form
  // if using Rcpp objects
  RVector<double> output;

  // initialize from Rcpp input and output matrixes (the RMatrix class
  // can be automatically converted to from the Rcpp matrix type)
  dtwDistance(const NumericMatrix mat, int i, NumericVector output)
    : mat(mat), i(i - 1), output(output) {}

  // Note the -1 ^^^^ to match results from prior function

  // Function call operator to iterate over a specified range (begin/end)
  void operator()(std::size_t begin, std::size_t end) {

    RMatrix<double>::Row row1 = mat.row(i);

    for (std::size_t j = begin; j < end; ++j) {

      RMatrix<double>::Row row2 = mat.row(j);

      size_t n = row1.length();
      size_t m = row2.length();
      NumericMatrix cost(n + 1, m + 1);

      for (int ii = 1; ii <= n; ii++){
        cost(i, 0) = numeric_limits<double>::infinity();
      }

      for (int jj = 1; jj <= m; jj++){
        cost(0, j) = numeric_limits<double>::infinity();
      }

      for (int ii = 1; ii <= n; ii++){
          for (int jj = 1; jj <= m; jj++){
            double dist = d(row1[ii - 1], row2[jj - 1]);
            cost(ii, jj) = dist + min(min(cost(ii - 1, jj), cost(ii, jj - 1)), cost(ii - 1, jj - 1));
            //cout << ii << ", " << jj << ", " << cost(ii, jj) << "\n";
          }
      }
      output[j] = cost(n, m);

    }
  }
};
// [[Rcpp::export]]
NumericVector parallel_dist_row_dtw(NumericMatrix mat, int i) {

   // allocate the matrix we will return
   //RMatrix<double> input(mat);
   NumericVector y(mat.nrow());
   //RVector<double> output(y);

   // create the worker
   dtwDistance dtwDistance(mat, i, y);

   // call it with parallelFor
   parallelFor(0, mat.nrow(), dtwDistance);
   return y;
}

我需要计算的距离是动态时间扭曲距离。我按上面的方式实现了它。然而当 运行ning 时,它会给出 'stack imbalance' 警告。并且在几个 运行s 之后会出现段错误。我想知道现在是什么问题。

为了触发问题,我做了:

library(Rcpp)
library(RcppParallel)
setThreadOptions(numThreads = 4)
sourceCpp("scripts/chisq_dtw.cpp")
set.seed(42)
X = matrix(rnorm(1000), 100, 10)

parallel_dist_row_dtw(X, 1)
parallel_dist_row_dtw(X, 2)
parallel_dist_row_dtw(X, 3)
parallel_dist_row_dtw(X, 4)
parallel_dist_row_dtw(X, 5)

问题是您没有通过RMatrix<T>RVector<T>在R对象周围使用线程安全包装器。这些 类 很重要,因为在后台线程上执行并行化,这是调用 R 或 Rcpp API 不安全的区域。 official documentation emphasizes this in the Safe Accessors 部分。

特别是,我们有:

To provide safe and convenient access to the arrays underlying R vectors and matrices RcppParallel introduces several accessor classes:

RVector<T> — Wrap R vectors of various types

RMatrix<T> — Wrap R matrices of various types (also includes Row and Column classes)

To create a thread safe accessor for an Rcpp vector or matrix just construct an instance of RVector or RMatrix with it.


代码修复

因此,您可以通过将 *Matrix 切换为 RMatrix<T> 并将 *Vector 切换为 RVector<T> 来修复您的工作。

struct JsDistance: public Worker {

  // Input matrix to read from must be of the RMatrix<T> form
  // if using Rcpp objects
  const RMatrix<double> mat;
  int i;

  // Output vector to write to must be of the RVector<T> form
  // if using Rcpp objects
  RVector<double> output;

  // initialize from Rcpp input and output matrixes (the RMatrix class
  // can be automatically converted to from the Rcpp matrix type)
  JsDistance(const NumericMatrix mat, int i, NumericVector output)
    : mat(mat), i(i - 1), output(output) {}

  // Note the -1 ^^^^ to match results from prior function

  // Function call operator to iterate over a specified range (begin/end)
  void operator()(std::size_t begin, std::size_t end) {

    RMatrix<double>::Row row1 = mat.row(i);

    for (std::size_t j = begin; j < end; ++j) {

      RMatrix<double>::Row row2 = mat.row(j);

      double rval = 0;
      for (unsigned int k = 0; k < row1.length(); ++k) {
        rval += (row1[k] - row2[k]) * (row1[k] - row2[k]);
      }

      output[j] = rval;

    }
  }
};

特别是,这里使用的数据类型是 RMatrix<double> 形式,甚至用于访问矩阵。

此外,在并行版本中缺少 i-1 语句。为了解决这个问题,我选择在 JSDistance.

的构造函数中处理它
