Introduction to Parallel Computing (CMSC416/CMSC818X)

Extra Credit Assignment 7: Study of Performance Analysis Workflows

Due: Monday December 13, 2021 @ 11:59 PM Eastern Time

In this assignment you will start with the performance data you collected as part of Assignment 2, and analyze it using Hatchet after making two small changes:

Install Hatchet manually:

You can install Hatchet on deepthought2 by following these steps: 


        module load python/3.7.7 (only works on deepthought2)
        pip install textx --user
        git clone https://github.com/hpcgroup/hatchet
Then add the directory where you installed hatchet to your PYTHONPATH and then do: 

        export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<path>
        cd hatchet/
        ./install.sh

Enable logging in each of your Python scripts:

You can enable logging in your Assignment 2 Python notebooks or scripts using: 


        gf = ht.GraphFrame.from_hpctoolkit(dirname, logging=True)
This will generate a log file for each Python file that you used for the tasks in Assignment 2.

There are two ways to get extra credit for this assignment:
