SDSC "papi" roll

The papi-roll is deprecated; its contents have been merged into the performance-roll

Overview

This roll bundles the Performance Application Programming Interface (PAPI) software package.

For more information about PAPI please visit the official web page:

PAPI provides the tool designer and application engineer with a consistent interface and methodology for use of the performance counter hardware found in most major microprocessors.

Requirements

To build/install this roll you must have root access to a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance).

If your Rocks development machine does not have Internet access you must download the appropriate papi source file(s) using a machine that does have Internet access and copy them into the src/<package> directories on your Rocks development machine.

Dependencies

Unknown at this time.

Building

To build the papi-roll, execute these instructions on a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance):

% make default 2>&1 | tee build.log
% grep "RPM build error" build.log

If nothing is returned from the grep command then the roll should have been created as... papi-*.iso. If you built the roll on a Rocks frontend then proceed to the installation step. If you built the roll on a Rocks development appliance you need to copy the roll to your Rocks frontend before continuing with installation.

Installation

To install, execute these instructions on a Rocks frontend:

% rocks add roll *.iso
% rocks enable roll papi
% cd /export/rocks/install
% rocks create distro
% rocks run roll papi | bash

In addition to the software itself, the roll installs papi environment module files in:

/opt/modulefiles/applications/papi
