Toolkit for exploratory data analysis of ensemble performance data

Thicket

Thicket

A Python-based toolkit for Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) of parallel performance data that enables performance optimization and understanding of applications’ performance on supercomputers. It bridges the performance tool gap between being able to consider only a single instance of a simulation run (e.g., single platform, single measurement tool, or single scale) and finding actionable insights in multi-dimensional, multi-scale, multi-architecture, and multi-tool performance datasets. You can find detailed documentation, along with tutorials of Thicket in the ReadtheDocs.

Installation

To use thicket, install it with pip:

$ pip install llnl-thicket

Or, if you want to develop with this repo directly, run the install script from the root directory, which will build the package and add the cloned directory to your PYTHONPATH:

$ source install.sh
