@VOD555 can you produce a stacked area plot or stacked bar plot of the time components in Fig 3 and Fig 4 and in Fig 6 and (not shown – the data in Fig 4 but for RDF) as a function of core numbers? We can probably focus on distributed+Lustre, 3 nodes only as this the most interesting case. But I would want to see 900 and 9000 frames. The scales have to be linear, otherwise the stacking cannot be visually compared in a meaningful way.
I'd like to see both absolute times and percentage of total – just to see which communicates the results more clearly.
Include
You might already have these plots, at least for absolute times.
Thanks for the plots. They look awesome. I'll add them to the draft.
I assume they are for distributed/3 nodes – is this correct?
from https://github.com/scipy-conference/scipy_proceedings/pull/476 :
Scaling Study:
In addition to graphs of wall clock times, a chart with percentage breakdowns of task times could also help convey parallel scaling issues and initialization amortization issues. These issues are described well in the text, however I found myself wanting to try to convert the wall time plots into a stacked graph with percentages to see if I was parsing the words correctly.
I understand creating new graphs is a non-trivial ask -- I do think they would help, but again I don't think they are necessary for acceptance.
