PYSS: scheduling simulator for high performance computing

Resources: Parallel Workloads archive

• http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/labs/parallel/workload/

Run with a workload file downloaded from Parallel WOrkloads archive

• cd ~/hpc/pyss/src/
• ./go.sh 4608 input_file FcfsScheduler
  • arg1: num-processors (100 if left blank)
  • arg2: input-file
  • arg3: scheduler

You can run the run_simulator.py if you would like.
Just run the simulator with --help to see the list of supported schedulers usage.

python run_simulator.py --help

Psyco not available, will run slower (http://psyco.sourceforge.net)

• Usage: run_simulator.py [options]

Options:

1. -h, --help show this help message and exit
2. --num-processors=NUM_PROCESSORS

• the number of available processors in the simulated parallel machine

3. --input-file=INPUT_FILE

• file in the standard workload format: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/labs/parallel/workload/swf.html, if '-' read from stdin

4. --scheduler=SCHEDULER(OneOfTheFollowingSchedulers)
   1. FcfsScheduler,
   2. ConservativeScheduler,
   3. DoubleConservativeScheduler,
   4. EasyBackfillScheduler,

Required Softwares:

• Python 2.4

Download Python 2.4 from:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/Python-2.4.tar.bz2 in your ~/installation directory

There is a bug that might result in error 134 when u make after configure.

To avoid that u might need a BASECFLAGS

./configure BASECFLAGS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE --prefix=/home/obaida/installation/Python2.4/

Then just

• make
• make install

Check to see if it is installed properly

• cd /home/obaida/installation/Python-2.4/bin
• ./python2.4

Add this to your PATH

• vim ~/.bashrc
• export PATH=$PATH:/home/obaida/installation/Python2.4/bin
• source ~/.bashrc

Not sure if you need library path as well.
