Commands

There are five hpcadvisor commands:

• deploy: operations related to a deployment
• collect: operation(s) related to data collection (i.e. execution of tasks)
• plot: operation(s) related to generation of plots
• advice: operations(s) related to generation of advice
• gui: trigger of the graphical user interface (gui) via browser

These commands can use the debug mode via -d flag and show help using -h.

A deployment is a resource group that contains all computing resources.

So in general the usage of the hpcadvisor is gonna be:

./hpcadvisor [-d] <command> [ <command parameters> ]

deploy

Create a new deployment using user input from file (mandatory) and name of the deployment (optional):

./hpcadvisor deploy create [-h] [-n NAME] [-u USERINPUT] operation


options:
  -n NAME, --name NAME  Deployment name
  -u USERINPUT, --userinput USERINPUT
                        User input

List deployments:

./hpcadvisor deploy list

Shutdown a deployment, which means deleting all resources and resource group.

./hpcadvisor deploy shutdown -n <name>

collect

Collect data (i.e. run jobs). The option cleardeployment is to delete all resources and resource group once the collection is completed and option cleartasks is to run all new tasks that are created, as some tasks may have already been completed for another data collection operation on the same deployment.

./hpcadvisor collect [-h] -n NAME -u USERINPUT [-cd CLEARDEPLOYMENT] [-ct CLEARTASKS]

options:
  -n NAME, --name NAME  Deployment name
  -u USERINPUT, --userinput USERINPUT
                        User input
  -cd CLEARDEPLOYMENT, --cleardeployment CLEARDEPLOYMENT
                        Clear deployment
  -ct CLEARTASKS, --cleartasks CLEARTASKS
                        Clear tasks

plot

Generate plots.

./hpcadvisor plot [-h] -df DATAFILTER

options:
  -df DATAFILTER, --datafilter DATAFILTER
                        Data filter

advice

Generate advice (pareto-front).

hpcadvisor advice [-h] [-n NAME] [-df DATAFILTER]

options:
  -n NAME, --name NAME  Deployment name
  -df DATAFILTER, --datafilter DATAFILTER
                        Data filter

gui

Run the hpcadvisor using browser (GUI).

./hpcadvisor gui [-h] [-u USERINPUT]

options:
  -u USERINPUT, --userinput USERINPUT
                        User input
