| 1 | +This is an example darshan log that contains both runtime |
| 2 | +heatmap module data and DXT tracing, to facilitate both |
| 3 | +visual and robust numerical comparison of the two approaches |
| 4 | +of generating heatmaps in the new Python summary report. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +The log follows the following "graphical" IO pattern |
| 7 | +of writing only a single byte of data per rank, for each |
| 8 | +of 32 ranks, on staggered/exaggerated delays: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Time Bins --> |
| 11 | +Rank |
| 12 | +| |
| 13 | +| |
| 14 | +V |
| 15 | + 31 x |
| 16 | + 30 x |
| 17 | + 29 x |
| 18 | + 28 x |
| 19 | + .. |
| 20 | + 3 x |
| 21 | + 2 x |
| 22 | + 1 x |
| 23 | + 0 x |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +The example application code used to generate the log |
| 26 | +is available here: |
| 27 | +https://github.com/tylerjereddy/heatmap_diagonal |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +In particular, commit hash `4712f54` from that project |
| 30 | +was used, and the precise timing and related details |
| 31 | +may be obtained from that project. In short, 32 bytes (1 per rank) |
| 32 | +were written at minor timing offsets in a Python mpi4py-based |
| 33 | +module on a single node of the LANL snow supercomputer |
| 34 | +(Intel skylake gold). Only, POSIX, DXT_POSIX, and |
| 35 | +(runtime) HEATMAP modules should be present. There is |
| 36 | +no *read* activity in the log (just 1 byte written |
| 37 | +per rank). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The commit hash of the darshan main branch used to build |
| 40 | +the darshan runtime as `b4932a02a`. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Here is the command line that was used on a |
| 43 | +snow backend node: |
| 44 | +`mpirun -x DXT_ENABLE_IO_TRACE=1 -x DARSHAN_LOGPATH=/yellow/users/treddy/generated_darshan_logs -x DARSHAN_DISABLE_SHARED_REDUCTION=1 -x LD_PRELOAD=/yellow/users/treddy/darshan_install/lib/libdarshan.so -np 32 python heatmap_diagonal.py` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Here are the steps there were followed to build |
| 47 | +the `darshan-runtime` on a snow backend: |
| 48 | + |

| 51 | +module load openmpi/3.1.6 |
| 52 | +module load hdf5-parallel/1.10.7 |
