Charm++ parallel programming system

Hello Abhinav,

Projections doesn't seem to trace MPI/AMPI calls. At least, I couldn't find a way to visualize them on the visualization tool. Furthermore, it groups the traces by process instead of by MPI rank, which is not ideal for my purposes.

With Tau, I was able to see some calls to functions like ampi::generic(AmpiMsg* impl_msg)::165, but even those were grouped by process, as Tau can't see Charm's user threads as different ranks.

At minimum, I need to trace the duration of MPI calls, like MPI_Send, MPI_Recv, MPI_Wait. I also would like to pair MPI_Wait calls with the call that initiated the request (e.g. MPI_Isend, MPI_Irecv, MPI_Start).

Regards,

Rafael

Hello Rafael,

Have you considered using the tracing functionality that comes with Charm++? It generates detailed OTF-style traces for Charm++/AMPI programs.

The Projections tool can be used to visualize these traces:

Good night!

Is there some way to trace MPI calls in AMPI applications. I'm especially interested in recording the duration of communication calls? My intention is to compare these traces with MPI traces of the same application.

I tried using a few tools, like Score-p and TAU. The problem is that they rely on PMPI to trace MPI calls, which is not implemented on AMPI.
