Build DLIO Profiler

This section describes how to build DLIO Profiler.

There are three build options:

  • build DLIO Profiler with pip (recommended),

  • build DLIO Profiler with Spack, and

  • build DLIO Profiler with cmake


Build DLIO Profiler with Spack

One may install DLIO Profiler with Spack. If you already have Spack, make sure you have the latest release. If you use a clone of the Spack develop branch, be sure to pull the latest changes.

Install Spack

$ git clone https://github.com/spack/spack
$ # create a packages.yaml specific to your machine
$ . spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh

Use Spack’s shell support to add Spack to your PATH and enable use of the spack command.

Build and Install DLIO Profiler

$ spack install py-dlio-profiler-py
$ spack load py-dlio-profiler-py

If the most recent changes on the development branch (‘dev’) of DLIO Profiler are desired, then do spack install py-dlio-profiler-py@develop.

Attention

The initial install could take a while as Spack will install build dependencies (autoconf, automake, m4, libtool, and pkg-config) as well as any dependencies of dependencies (cmake, perl, etc.) if you don’t already have these dependencies installed through Spack or haven’t told Spack where they are locally installed on your system (i.e., through a custom packages.yaml). Run spack spec -I py-dlio-profiler-py before installing to see what Spack is going to do.


Build DLIO Profiler with CMake

Download the latest DLIO Profiler release from the Releases page or clone the develop branch (‘develop’) from the DLIO Profiler repository https://github.com/hariharan-devarajan/dlio-profiler.

Build ENV Variables

For pip based installations we can enable HWLOC using .. code-block:: Bash

export DLIO_PROFILER_DISABLE_HWLOC=Off

Build CMAKE Variables

For Cmake based build, we can enable HWLOC using .. code-block:: Bash

cmake -DDISABLE_HWLOC=Off <source dir>

Build DLIO Profiler Dependencies

The main dependencies DLIO Profiler are 1. cpp-logger : https://github.com/hariharan-devarajan/cpp-logger.git version: 0.0.1 2. gotcha: https://github.com/LLNL/GOTCHA.git version: develop 3. brahma: https://github.com/hariharan-devarajan/brahma.git version: 0.0.1

These dependencies can be either installed using spack or through cmake from respective respositories.

cmake . -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<where you want to install DLIO Profiler>
cmake --build build
cmake --install build
