SST for Trace Replay
Hi,
I am planning to do trace replay evaluations using SST. Based on the tutorials provided on the website, seems like this can be done using both SST-Core (with Zodiac) and SSTMacro. However, since I need a cycle-accurate network simulator, which I think is only available in SST-Core (Merlin), the only available option is to use Zodiac but I cannot find any documentation on it. Will it be possible for me to get some basic documentation on how to use the Zodiac element?
Thank you!
You are correct that sst-macro does not support cycle-accurate network simulation.
Is there appropriate sst-elements documentation that somebody can point to?
@hanskasan - do you have to use DUMPI or will other profiling/tracing tools also work? Zodiac DUMPI support is not fully complete, hence asking if other tools may be more applicable.
Unfortunately, all the traces that I have are collected using DUMPI. However, since my goal is to do evaluations using HPC workloads on Merlin, I am open to using other tools. If possible, can I please be informed of the currently available options to run HPC workload traces in SST?
Thank you!
Hi, sorry but can I get an update on this? I need to run DUMPI trace on a cycle accurate network simulator e.g. Merlin. Is there a workaround for this? If I link both SST-Macro and Merlin to SST-Core, will I be able to run the DUMPI trace on Merlin? Thank you.
@nmhamster @gvoskuilen @allevin What other tracing tools are supported by Zodiac? I see that you have a sirius trace reader in zodiac that I used to run the test case with your sample trace file downloaded from sst_downloads. What tool is used to generate those 'sirius' trace files?
