icsystemutils 0.0.16

Utilities for interacting with system resources, e.g. cpu, network etc.

icsystemutils is a library for querying system resources (cpu, gpu, network etc).

It is used in higher-level packages and tools in Irish Centre for High End Computing (ICHEC) research and workflows.

Features

You can read system CPU info on Linux or Mac via system APIs with JSON output:

icsystemutils read_cpu

You can run a resource monitor that outputs CPU and memory use to a file with:

icsystemutils monitor

You can postprocess a log file with:

icsystemutils tracing --trace_file <file_with_traces> --trace_config <trace_config_file>

The log file should have traces in the format timestamp | thread_id | message where the timestamp is Unix time as a float with whole numbers representing seconds. The message is used to determine start and end points for events. The trace_config_file is a json file used to match strings in the message with Event start and end flags. The output is a series of trace events in json format, which can be used to generate plots with icplot or used in further analysis.

Installation

You can install it with:

pip install icsystemutils
