wrench::BareMetalComputeService

class BareMetalComputeService : public wrench::ComputeService

A compute service that manages a set of multi-core compute hosts and provides access to their resources.

One can think of this as a simple service that allows the user to run jobs and to specify for each job on which host it should run and with how many cores. If no host is specified, the service will pick the least loaded host. If no number of cores is specified, the service will use as many cores as possible. The service will make sure that the RAM capacity of a host is not exceeded by possibly delaying job executions until enough RAM is available. Note that if the submitted jobs require a total number of cores larger than available, say, on a particular host, then these jobs will simply time-share the cores. In other words, this service does not provide space-sharing of hosts/cores (unlike, for instance, a wrench::BatchComputeService).

Public Functions

BareMetalComputeService(const std::string &hostname, const std::map<std::string, std::tuple<unsigned long, double>> &compute_resources, const std::string &scratch_space_mount_point, WRENCH_PROPERTY_COLLECTION_TYPE property_list = {}, WRENCH_MESSAGE_PAYLOADCOLLECTION_TYPE messagepayload_list = {})

Constructor.

Parameters

  • hostname – the name of the host on which the service should be started

  • compute_resources – a map of <num_cores, memory_manager_service> tuples, indexed by hostname, which represents the compute resources available to this service.

  • scratch_space_mount_point – the compute service’s scratch space’s mount point (”” means none)

  • property_list – a property list ({} means “use all defaults”)

  • messagepayload_list – a message payload list ({} means “use all defaults”)

BareMetalComputeService(const std::string &hostname, const std::vector<std::string> &compute_hosts, const std::string &scratch_space_mount_point, WRENCH_PROPERTY_COLLECTION_TYPE property_list = {}, WRENCH_MESSAGE_PAYLOADCOLLECTION_TYPE messagepayload_list = {})

Constructor.

Parameters

  • hostname – the name of the host on which the service should be started

  • compute_hosts – the names of the hosts available as compute resources (the service will use all the cores and all the RAM of each host)

  • scratch_space_mount_point – the compute service’s scratch space’s mount point (”” means none)

  • property_list – a property list ({} means “use all defaults”)

  • messagepayload_list – a message payload list ({} means “use all defaults”)

~BareMetalComputeService() override

Destructor.

virtual void submitCompoundJob(std::shared_ptr<CompoundJob> job, const std::map<std::string, std::string> &service_specific_args) override

Submit a compound job to the compute service.

These arguments are provided as a map of strings, indexed by action names. These strings are formatted as “[hostname:][num_cores]” (e.g., “somehost:12”, “somehost”,”6”, “”).

  • If a value is not provided for an action, then the service will choose a host and use as many cores as possible on that host.

  • If a “” value is provided for an action, then the service will choose a host and use as many cores as possible on that host.

  • If a “hostname” value is provided for an action, then the service will run the action on that host, using as many of its cores as possible

  • If a “num_cores” value is provided for an action, then the service will run that action with this many cores, but will choose the host on which to run it.

  • If a “hostname:num_cores” value is provided for an action, then the service will run that action with this many cores on that host.

Parameters

  • job – a compound job

  • service_specific_args – optional service specific arguments

Throws
virtual bool supportsCompoundJobs() override

Returns true if the service supports compound jobs.

Returns

true or false

virtual bool supportsPilotJobs() override

Returns true if the service supports pilot jobs.

Returns

true or false

virtual bool supportsStandardJobs() override

Returns true if the service supports standard jobs.

Returns

true or false

virtual void terminateCompoundJob(std::shared_ptr<CompoundJob> job) override

Synchronously terminate a compound job previously submitted to the compute service.

Parameters

job – a compound job
