<https://docs.docker.com/install/>`_, simply do the following:
-.. code-block:: shell

- docker pull simgrid/tuto-s4u

This will start a new container with all you need to take this
tutorial, and create a ``simgrid-tutorial`` directory in your home on
in the image. You should copy it to your working directory and
recompile it when you first log in:
-.. code-block:: shell

- cp -r /source/simgrid-template-s4u.git/* /source/tutorial
- cd /source/tutorial

a recent version of SimGrid <install>`, a C++ compiler, and also
``pajeng`` to visualize the traces. You may want to install `Vite
<http://vite.gforge.inria.fr/>`_ to get a first glance at the traces.
The provided code template requires CMake to compile. On Debian and
Ubuntu for example, you can get them as follows:
-.. code-block:: shell
+.. code-block:: console
- sudo apt install simgrid pajeng cmake g++ vite
+ $ sudo apt install simgrid pajeng cmake g++ vite
For R analysis of the produced traces, you may want to install R
and the `pajengr <https://github.com/schnorr/pajengr#installation/>`_ package.
-.. code-block:: shell
+.. code-block:: console
- sudo apt install r-base r-cran-devtools cmake flex bison
- Rscript -e "library(devtools); install_github('schnorr/pajengr');"
+ # install R and necessary packages
+ $ sudo apt install r-base r-cran-devtools r-cran-tidyverse
+ # install pajengr dependencies
+ $ sudo apt install git cmake flex bison
+ # install the pajengr R package
+ $ Rscript -e "library(devtools); install_github('schnorr/pajengr');"
An initial version of the source code is provided on framagit. This
template compiles with CMake. If SimGrid is correctly installed, you
<https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid-template-s4u>`_ and recompile
everything as follows:
-.. code-block:: shell
+.. code-block:: console
# (exporting SimGrid_PATH is only needed if SimGrid is installed in a non-standard path)
- export SimGrid_PATH=/where/to/simgrid
+ $ export SimGrid_PATH=/where/to/simgrid
- git clone https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid-template-s4u.git
- cd simgrid-template-s4u/
- cmake .
- make
+ $ git clone https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid-template-s4u.git
+ $ cd simgrid-template-s4u/
+ $ cmake .
+ $ make
If you struggle with the compilation, then you should double-check
your :ref:`SimGrid installation <install>`. On need, please refer to
Please compile and execute the provided simulator as follows:
-.. code-block:: shell
+.. code-block:: console
- make master-workers
- ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml
+ $ make master-workers
+ $ ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml
For a more "fancy" output, you can use simgrid-colorizer.
-.. code-block:: shell
+.. code-block:: console
- ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml 2>&1 | simgrid-colorizer
+ $ ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml 2>&1 | simgrid-colorizer
If you installed SimGrid to a non-standard path, you may have to
specify the full path to simgrid-colorizer on the above line, such as
follows. But do not spend too much time installing Vite, because there
is a better way to visualize SimGrid traces (see below).
-.. code-block:: shell
+.. code-block:: console
- ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml --cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/actor:yes
- vite simgrid.trace
+ $ ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml --cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/actor:yes
+ $ vite simgrid.trace
.. image:: /tuto_s4u/img/vite-screenshot.png
:align: center
+.. note::
+
+ If you use an older version of SimGrid (before v3.26), you should use
+ ``--cfg=tracing/msg/process:yes`` instead of ``--cfg=tracing/actor:yes``.
+
If you want the full power to visualize SimGrid traces, you need
to use R. As a start, you can download this `starter script
<https://framagit.org/simgrid/simgrid/raw/master/docs/source/tuto_s4u/draw_gantt.R>`_
and use it as follows:
-.. code-block:: shell
+.. code-block:: console
- ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml --cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/actor:yes
- Rscript draw_gantt.R simgrid.trace
+ $ ./master-workers small_platform.xml master-workers_d.xml --cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/actor:yes
+ $ Rscript draw_gantt.R simgrid.trace
It produces a ``Rplots.pdf`` with the following content:
