shifter-tools

A collection of scripts for Shifter @ NERSC

shiftercp

This script takes one or more executables or libraries (-f flag), determines the libraries that are linked to the file, and copies those libraries into a specified directory (-d flag). This directory should be the VTune results directory. By copying the libraries into this directory, VTune can finalize the results outside of a Shifter container. If the recursive flag (-r) is provided, this script will find and copy the implicitly linked libraries.

Usage Flags

-f : executable or library [required]
- Accepts 1 or more arguments
-d : output directory [optional]
- Accepts only one arguments
- Default: current working directory
-r : enable recursion [optional]
- Accepts zero arguments
- Enables copying of implicitly linked libraries
- myexe links to libfoo.so
- libfoo.so links to libbar.so
- Within recursion enabled, shiftercp.py will copy libbar.so into the output directory
--max-depth=<N> : limits the depth of recursion [optional]
- Accepts one integer argument
- Default: 0
- N == 0 means unlimited, all implicitly linked libraries will be found and copied
- Only used in conjunction with -r flag
- Example:
  - myexe links to libfoo.so
  - libfoo.so links to libbar.so (level 1)
  - libbar.so links to librt.so (level 2)
  - librt.so links to libdc.so (level 3)
  - if N == 0, all above libraries will be copied to output directory
  - if N == 1, libfoo.so and libbar.so will be copied to output directory
  - if N == 2, libfoo.so, libbar.so, and librt.so will be copied to output directory
-e : regex string [optional]
- Accepts one or more strings
- Disabled copying libraries that match the regex string
- See Python re documentation for Regex information
- Uses re.search(..., <library-name>)
--copy-files : copy the list of files (e.g. -f parameters) to output directory [optional]
- Accepts zero arguments
- The list of files provided by -f flag will also be copied to output directory

SLURM Example

VTune results directory: vtune-run0001
Profiled command: /usr/local/bin/myexe within Shifter container
Assumes ./shiftercp.py is in CWD

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --qos=debug
#SBATCH -N 1
#SBATCH -t 00:30:00
#SBATCH --image=<username/some-image>
# ... additional sbatch parameters ...

module load vtune

PID_FILE=$(mktemp pid.XXXXXXX)
VTUNE_DIR=${PWD}/vtune-run0001

# run command in shifter, submit to background
shifter /usr/local/bin/myexe & echo $! &> ${PID_FILE}

# attach VTune to process, defer finalization
amplxe-cl -collect <collection-mode> -finalization-mode deferred -r ${VTUNE_DIR} --target-pid=$(cat ${PID_FILE}) ...

# use script to copy libraries linked to myexe into ${VTUNE_DIR}
shifter ./shiftercp.py -d ${VTUNE_DIR} -f /usr/local/bin/myexe

# then, finalize on a login node

Usage

usage: shiftercp.py [-h] [-f [FILES [FILES ...]]] [-d DESTINATION]
                            [-r] [--max-depth MAX_DEPTH]
                            [-e [EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]]]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f [FILES [FILES ...]], --files [FILES [FILES ...]]
                        Get linked targets for this list of files
  -d DESTINATION, --destination DESTINATION
                        Destination directory (default:
                        '${PWD}')
  -r, --recursive       Recursive ldd/otool resolution
  --max-depth MAX_DEPTH
                        Max recursive depth (default: 0 == unlimited)
  -e [EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]], --exclude [EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]]
                        List of regex expressions to exclude from copy using
                        're.search(<str>, <path>)' (default: []), e.g.
                        '^/usr/lib[6]?[4]?/lib.*\.so\.[0-9]$'

Example

$ ./shiftercp.py -r -d example -f $(which python)
