Hi,

I’ve noticed that `guix environment` can be very very slow for some packages.
Whereas usually a call like

time guix environment --ad-hoc <package> -- true

takes 600ms to 1.5s, it takes 8.4s for the package r-learnr on my Ryzen 5 3600
with NVMe SSD, 32G of RAM and a warm cache. This seems to accumulate when
trying to install multiple unrelated “slow” packages into the same environment,
i.e. jupyter (2.9s) + r-rlearnr (8.4s) + r-stm (2.9s) = 12.1s. What these
packages seem to have in common is a deep chain of propagated inputs.

And in fact, if I create artificial test packages where test-999 propagates
test-998, test-998→test-997 and so on the command above takes 1m 9s. A single
package propagating 999 packages takes 4.5s.

Instrumenting guix-environment’s with-store call with statprof I see a lot of
time is spent in the garbage collector:

Total time: 24.672604202 seconds (19.431122691 seconds in GC)
./pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc r-learnr -- true 25,18s user 0,24s system 308% cpu 8,248 total

More specifically in an anonymous function and reap-pipes, which is a gc hook,
I believe:

% cumulative self

2.40 2.37 0.59 guix/grafts.scm:202:22

Not sure if that helps tracking the issue down though.

Cheers,
Lars

Guile master has a fix for statprof that yields more useful info:

Notice that the same command with ‘--no-grafts’ takes 2s instead of 11s.

The patch below arranges so that ‘cumulative-grafts’ processes
dependencies in a batch, such that the derivation’s dependency graph is
traversed once for all, which makes a difference for derivations with
lots of inputs.

Here’s the before/after comparison:

Toggle snippet (14 lines)
$ time guix environment --ad-hoc r-learnr --search-paths

real 0m4.602s

There’s still room for improvement, but it’s much better.

that’s awesome and brings me much closer to my goal of running all applications
inside a `guix environment` container for reproducibility. Including the
protocol fixes from #41720 I’m now down to ~30s from ~50s, which may be called
somewhat usable. Obviously I’d be very interested in further speedups.

Thanks,
Lars

That’s over SSH, right?

Probably what’s killing us is the round-trip time for all these small
RPCs. We would need pipelining but the RPC protocol is not designed to
make that easy.

Perhaps you could “strace -Tt” the thing to check whether this
hypothesis is correct by looking at the time we spend waiting for
replies?

As for the CPU cost (i.e., going below the 4.6s above), we should keep
profiling just like you did.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hey,

correct, the worst possible case: Inside two VM’s on a Laptop, SSH transport
between them and /gnu+/var/guix on an NFS share (nfsd is in the same VM as
guix-daemon).

That would have been my best guess too, but it does not seem to be the biggest
problem right now. Looking at the numbers again (both patches applied) with the
attached manifest[1], I see that:

---snip---
Local UNIX socket with and without --no-grafts:
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev
x 10 6.07 6.35 6.145 6.16 0.08232726
+ 10 17.47 17.89 17.545 17.602 0.14351152
Difference at 99.0% confidence
11.442 +/- 0.150576
185.747% +/- 4.07133%

Local UNIX socket vs. guix://localhost transport:
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev
x 10 17.47 17.89 17.545 17.602 0.14351152
+ 10 17.43 18.1 17.61 17.642 0.20131788
No difference proven at 99.0% confidence

Local UNIX socket vs ssh://localhost transport:
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev
x 10 17.47 17.89 17.545 17.602 0.14351152
+ 10 33.46 35.27 34.315 34.359 0.53873205
Difference at 99.0% confidence
16.757 +/- 0.5074
95.1994% +/- 3.13957%
---snap---

So I would conclude:

1) Grafting still takes a lot of time and needs more work
2) Linux optimizes localhost networking pretty well
3) Our SSH transport is terribly slow

Moving to non-localhost communication between two VM’s:

---snip---
guix://localhost vs. guix://remote-host transport:
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev
x 10 17.43 18.1 17.61 17.642 0.20131788
+ 10 20.88 22.58 21.095 21.222 0.49689704
Difference at 99.0% confidence
3.58 +/- 0.487934
20.2925% +/- 2.85159%

guix://remote-host vs. ssh://remote-host:
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev
x 10 20.88 22.58 21.095 21.222 0.49689704
+ 10 30.1 32.56 31.005 31.093 0.70740606
Difference at 99.0% confidence
9.871 +/- 0.786769
46.5131% +/- 4.35326%
---snap---

Conclusion here is the same: Not alot of impact of networking/NFS and SSH
transport is still terribly slow. (Confusingly faster than localhost though.)

I’m not sure this will yield meaningful data for SSH, so I analyzet it for
guix://localhost vs. guix://remote-host. Takeaway is, yes, of course there is a
statistically significant difference and it’s about 40%±50%, which means this
method is pretty useless, because we can’t bin RPC’s by type.

So, I guess it would make sense for me to look at the SSH transport itself
again and see if there are any other low-hanging fruit. Not sure how much I can
help with profiling guile/guix itself. A different/better RPC protocol is
probably GSoC/v2.0-worthy?

Sorry for all the lengthy emails,
Lars

Yes, I noticed that there’s still redundant work being done, so we may
need global caching in addition to what
58bb833365db4e8934a386497d5b00a063cfd27d did.

Yes.

The patch below is a noticeable improvement for me. On my laptop,

GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://localhost ./pre-inst-env guix build libreoffice -n

goes from 5.8s to 3.3s. It just does the same thing as we do for
guix://.

Could you check what results it gives you?

There’s a project to rewrite the daemon in Scheme, started by Caleb
Ristvedt (reepa) as part of GSoC a few years ago. This could be an
opportunity to add a new version of the protocol that would support
pipelining.

Given how much improvement you’ve achieved so far I’d say we can (for now)
probably get away with the current protocol. Still, what’s the status of this
daemon?

The problem with this approach is that ‘open-connection’ is past the raw
host name; aliases, proxy commands, etc. from ~/.ssh/config are ignored.

So it cannot go in as is. :-/

What we need is Guile-SSH bindings for ‘ssh_get_fd’, which would allow
us to get at the actual file descriptor after the connection has been
opened, and to set TCP_NODELAY there:


It’s not 100% clear though if it returns that “right” FD when there’s a
proxy command.

wouldn’t it be easier to add the SSH_OPTIONS_NODELAY option (see [1]) to
guile-ssh (should be trivial[2]) and let guile-ssh handle all the connection
stuff without touching the socket? Or do we need the raw socket elsewhere?

Cheers,
Lars

Good idea, I had overlooked that possibility.

Would you like to send them a patch?

Hi (again),

and the attached patch uses the new nodelay option, if we don’t want to wait
for another guile-ssh release.

I’d rather wait; perhaps you can ask Artyom whether they’re planning for
a new release soonish?

If there’s no plan for a release within two weeks, we can go ahead with
the patch you propose.

If we take this route, the two patches (guile-ssh changes, then (guix
ssh) changes) should be separate.

Also #:nodelay will cause a hard failure for people using an older
Guile-SSH. I wonder how to guard against that; configure check, or
run-time Guile-SSH version check?

Alright, I’ll prepare a new patch if either of the two events happen.

Hi Ludo,

a new version has been released, so here is the updated patchset. I’m not sure
if it’s possible to make the #:nodelay optional somehow, i.e. retaining
compatibility with guile-ssh<0.13.0. For now there’s a hard feature check.

I adjusted the commit log and pushed.

I think it’s okay to use the new Guile-SSH feature right away because
it’s not central, and ‘guix pull’ gives people the ability to get the
new Guile-SSH version.

Thanks!

Judging from the above, it seems this issue has been resolved.

Closing.

Thank you,

grafting is still a performance issue imo. Compare for example:

$ time guix environment --ad-hoc --search-paths r-learnr
guix environment --ad-hoc --search-paths r-learnr 5,90s user 0,09s system 210% cpu 2,844 total
$ time guix environment --ad-hoc --search-paths r-learnr --no-grafts
guix environment --ad-hoc --search-paths r-learnr --no-grafts 2,03s user 0,08s system 164% cpu 1,277 total

Cheers,
Lars

Agreed. The fix in 58bb833365db4e8934a386497d5b00a063cfd27d is
incomplete: we’re still potentially doing things several times.
