Backend Documentation¶
SimpleCount¶
Synopsis¶
$ bin/sigil2 --frontend=FRONTEND --backend=simplecount --executable=mybinary -myoptions
Description¶
SimpleCount is a demonstrative backend that counts each event type received from a given frontend. These events are aggregated across all threads.
SynchroTraceGen¶
Synopsis¶
$ bin/sigil2 --frontend=FRONTEND --backend=stgen OPTIONS --executable=mybinary -myoptions
Description¶
SynchroTraceGen is a frontend for generating trace files for the SynchroTrace simulation framework.
Each thread detected by SynchroTraceGen is given its own output trace file, named sigil.events-#.out.
By default, the output is directly compressed since the trace files can grow very large.
Options¶
-c NUMBER
Default: 100
Will compress all SynchroTraceGen compute events.
Each compute event will have a maximum of NUMBER local reads or writes
-o PATH
Default: ‘.’
All SynchroTraceGen output will be put in PATH
-l {text,capnp,null}
Default: ‘text’
Choose which logging framework to use.
Regardless of which logger is chosen, a sigil.pthread.out and sigil.stats.out
file will be output.
‘text’ will output an ASCII formatted trace in gzipped files.
‘capnp’ will output a packed CapnProto serialized trace in gzipped files.
‘null’ will not output anything.
