Parsec Benchmark interface tool
Project description
Python library to interface with PARSEC 2.1 and 3.0 Benchmark, controlling execution triggers and processing the output measures times data to calculate speedups. Further, the library can generate a mathematical model of speedup of a parallel application, based on “Particles Swarm Optimization” algorithm to discover the parameters to minimize a “objective function”.
Features
Run parsec application with repetitions e multiple input sizes and output data to file
Process a group of Parsec 2.1 logs files generates from a shell direct execution of parsec
Manipulate of data resulting from logs process or execution obtained by module run script itself
Calculate the speedups of applications, if it’ possible, using the measured times of execution
provide a “PSO” algorithm to model the speedup of a parallel application
Prerequisites
Parsec 2.1 or newer
Python3 or newer
Numpy
Pandas
Matplotlib with Mplot3D Toolkit (Optional, to plot 3D surface)
Site
Installation
$ pip3 install parsecpy
Usage
Class ParsecData
>>> from parsecpy import ParsecData >>> d = ParsecData('path_to_datafile') >>> print(d) # Print summary informations >>> d.times() # Show a Dataframe with mesures times >>> d.speedups() # Show a Dataframe with speedups >>> d.plot3D() # plot a 3D Plot : speedups x number of cores x input sizes
Class ParsecLogsData
>>> from parsecpy import ParsecLogsData >>> l = ParsecLogsData('path_to_folder_with_logfiles') >>> print(l) # Print summary informations >>> l.times() # Show a Dataframe with mesures times >>> l.speedups() # Show a Dataframe with speedups >>> l.plot3D() # plot a 3D Plot : speedups x number of cores x input sizes
Class Swarm
>>> from mparsecpy import Swarm >>> parsec_date = ParsecData("my_output_parsec_file.dat") >>> out_measure = parsec_exec.speedups() >>> inputsizes = [(col, int(col.split('_')[1])) for col in y_measure] >>> cores = y_measure.index >>> overhead = False >>> argsswarm = (out_measure, overhead, cores, inputsizes) >>> pso = Swarm([0,0,0,0], [2.0,1.0,1.0,2.0], args=argsswarm, threads=10, size=100, maxiter=1000, modelpath=/root/mymodelfunc.py) >>> model = pso.run() >>> print(model.params)
Requirements for model python module
The python module file provided by user should has the following requirements:
Should has, at least, two function as following:
def constraint_function(p, *args): # your code # arguments: # p - particle object # args - list of position arguments passed to function: # args[0] - Pandas Dataframe object of measured speedups (PasecData speedups) # args[1] - boolean value (if overhead should be considerable) # args[2] - list of number of cores used on args[0] measured speedups # args[3] - list of number of problems sizes used on args[0] measured speedups # analize the feasable of particles position (searched parameters) # return True or False, depend of requirements return boolean_value def objective_function(p, *args): # your code # calculate the function with should be minimized # return the calculated value return float_value
