Before you start

All examples on this page assume you have downloaded, configured and built APEX. See the Getting Started page for instructions on how to do that.

Simple example

In the APEX installation directory, there is a bin directory. In the bin directory are a number of examples, one of which is a simple matrix multiplication example, matmult.

To run the matmult example, simply type 'matmult'. The output should be something like this:

khuck@ktau:~/src/apex/install/bin$ ./matmult
Spawned thread 1...
Spawned thread 2...
Spawned thread 3...
Done.

Not very interesting, eh? To see what APEX measured, set the APEX_SCREEN_OUTPUT environment variable to 1, and run it again:

khuck@ktau:~/src/apex/install/bin$ export APEX_SCREEN_OUTPUT=1
khuck@ktau:~/src/apex/install/bin$ ./matmult

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this output, we see the status of all of the environment variables (as read by APEX at initialization), the regular program output, and then a summary from APEX at the end. Because APEX captures timestamps using the low-overhead rdtsc function call (where available), the measurements are done in cycles. APEX estimates the Hz rating of the CPU to convert to seconds for output. APEX reports the elapsed wall-clock time, the number of cores detected, the number of worker threads observed, as well as the total available CPU time (wall-clock times workers).

OpenMP example

In the APEX installation directory, there is a bin directory. In the bin directory are a number of examples, one of which is the OpenMP implementation of LULESH (for details, see the LLNL explanation of LULESH). When APEX is configured with OpenMP OMPT support (using the -DBUILD_OMPT=TRUE or equivalent CMake configuration settings) it will measure OpenMP events. Executing the LULESH example (with APEX_SCREEN_OUTPUT=1) gives the following output:

There are several lightweight events that APEX elects to ignore. The other events are timed by APEX and reported at exit, along with the /proc/stat data (CPU % counters).

With PAPI

When APEX is configured with PAPI support (using -DPAPI_ROOT=/path/to/papi and -DUSE_PAPI=TRUE), hardware counter data can also be collected by APEX. To specify hardware counters of interest, use the APEX_PAPI_METRICS environment variable:

khuck@ktau:~/src/apex$ export APEX_PAPI_METRICS="PAPI_TOT_INS PAPI_L2_TCM"

...and then execute as normal:

khuck@ktau:~/src/apex$ ./install/bin/matmult

CSV output

While APEX is not designed for post-mortem performance analysis, you can export the data that APEX collected. If you set the APEX_CSV_OUTPUT environment variable to 1, APEX will also dump the timer statistics as a CSV file:

khuck@ktau:~/src/apex$ cat apex.0.csv
"task","num calls","total cycles","total microseconds","PAPI_TOT_INS","PAPI_L2_TCM"
"allocateMatrix",12,704195504,264717,1615804,9100

With TAU

If APEX is configured with TAU support, then APEX measurements will be forwarded to TAU and recorded as a TAU profile. In addition, all other TAU features are supported, including sampling, MPI measurement, I/O measurement, tracing, etc. To configure APEX with TAU, specify the flags -DUSE_TAU, -DTAU_ROOT, -DTAU_ARCH, and -DTAU_OPTIONS. For example, if TAU was configured with "./configure -pthread" on an x86_64 Linux machine, the APEX configuration options would be "-DUSE_TAU=1 -DTAU_ROOT=/path/to/tau -DTAU_ARCH=x86_64 -DTAU_OPTIONS=-pthread". If TAU was configured with "./configure -mpi -pthread" on an x86_64 Linux machine, the APEX configuration options would be "-DUSE_TAU=1 -DTAU_ROOT=/path/to/tau -DTAU_ARCH=x86_64 -DTAU_OPTIONS=-mpi-pthread".

Here is a suggested configuration for TAU on x86-Linux to use with APEX (some systems require special flags - please contact the maintaners if you are interested):

# download the latest TAU release
wget http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/paracomp/tau/tauprofile/dist/tau_latest.tar.gz
# expand the tar file
tar -xvzf tau_latest.tar.gz
cd tau-2.25
# configure TAU
./configure -papi=/usr/local/papi/5.3.2 -pthread -prefix=/usr/local/tau/2.25
# build
make -j install
# set our path to include the new TAU installation
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/tau/2.25/x86_64/bin

Here is a suggested configuration for APEX to use the above TAU installation:

cd xpress-apex
mkdir build-tau
cd build-tau
cmake -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=TRUE -DBUILD_TESTS=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
-DUSE_TAU=TRUE -DTAU_ROOT=/usr/local/tau/2.25 -DTAU_ARCH=x86_64 -DTAU_OPTIONS=-papi-pthread \
-DBUILD_BFD=TRUE -DBUILD_ACTIVEHARMONY=TRUE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install-tau ..
make
make tests
make install

After configuring, building and installing TAU and then configuring, building and installing APEX, the TAU profiling is enabled by setting the environment variable "APEX_TAU=1". After executing an example (say 'matmult'), there should be profile.* files in the working directory:

khuck@ktau:~/src/xpress-apex$ export APEX_TAU=1
khuck@ktau:~/src/xpress-apex$ ./install/bin/matmult
Spawned thread 1...
Spawned thread 2...
Spawned thread 3...
Done.
khuck@ktau:~/src/xpress-apex$ ls profile.*
profile.0.0.0  profile.0.0.1  profile.0.0.2  profile.0.0.3  profile.0.0.4  profile.0.0.5

If the TAU analysis utilties are in your path, you can execute paraprof to view the profiles:

khuck@ktau:~/src/xpress-apex$ paraprof

...which should launch the ParaProf profile viewer/analysis program. The profile should look something like the following (for a complete manual on using ParaProf, see the TAU website).

If you want to collect a TAU trace, you would enable the appropriate TAU environment variable (TAU_TRACE=1), and then re-run the example. After the execution, the trace files need to be merged (using tau_treemerge.pl) and then converted (with tau2slog2) to be viewed with the Jumpshot trace viewer (included with TAU):

khuck@ktau:~/src/xpress-apex$ export APEX_TAU=1
khuck@ktau:~/src/xpress-apex$ export TAU_TRACE=1
khuck@ktau:~/src/xpress-apex$ ./install/bin/matmult
Spawned thread 1...
Spawned thread 2...
Spawned thread 3...
Done.
