Charm++ parallel programming system

["Mokos, Ryan" <mokos AT illinois.edu>]

Hi Balaji,

First, please note that the first argument to ./bigsimulator should either be a 0 (latency only mode) or a 1 (detailed contention model).  However, I think anything greater than a 1 will default to the detailed contention model anyway.

How did you build charm, what traces are you trying to simulate, and did it print any configuration information before it aborted?

I just tried building charm and BigNetSim, copied the sample trace files provided with BigNetSim to BigNetSim/trunk/tmp, and had no problems running with the command line you give below.  This is what I did:

1. Checked out charm and BigNetSim from the repositories

2. Built pose and bigsim in charm (these are the only components needed for BigNetSim):

~/charm> ./build pose net-linux-x86_64 -j8 -g
~/charm> ./build bigsim net-linux-x86_64 -j8 -g

3. Changed CHARMBASE in BigNetSim/trunk/Makefile.common to point to my charm build

4. Built BigNetSim:

~/BigNetSim/trunk/BlueGene> make

5. Copied traces to tmp directory:

~/BigNetSim/trunk/tmp> cp ../sampleTrace/bgTrace* .

6. I ran BigNetSim with all of the following and had no problems:

~/BigNetSim/trunk/tmp> ./charmrun +p2 ./bigsimulator 0 0
~/BigNetSim/trunk/tmp> ./charmrun +p2 ./bigsimulator 1 0
~/BigNetSim/trunk/tmp> ./charmrun +p2 ./bigsimulator 1 1
~/BigNetSim/trunk/tmp> ./charmrun +p2 ./bigsimulator 2 0
~/BigNetSim/trunk/tmp> ./charmrun +p2 ./bigsimulator 2 1
~/BigNetSim/trunk/tmp> ./charmrun +p2 ./bigsimulator 2 2

As I said above, the first parameter should be only 0 or 1, but it has no problem running with a 2 there.  Also, anything other than 0 for the second parameter is meaningless with these traces as they have no skip points.  But again, I ran them all for the sake of being thorough.

Hi Balaji,

Please make sure you have the newest development version of charm (from the git archive).  Apparently these changes haven't made it into the charm distribution yet.
