Where to download test data?

[milechin]

I would like to use this gpt tests framework to test an install of gpt on our cluster. I am unable to find the test data. At the bottom of the README file there is reference to an S3 bucket that contains the data. The section indicates I need to go to the "Confluence page" : https://senbox.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SENBOX/pages/2490433537/S3+bucket

But I do not have permission to view this page.

Where can I get a copy of this test data?

Dear Dennis,

these data are thought as to be used only for internal testing. We will discuss in the team, if we want/can make the data publicly available. The set-up of the GPT test suite is a rather complex task and the dataset covers ~600GB, containing also data that is not free-of-charge to use.

You can safely assume that our team ran the complete test-suite before shipping, so that for your cluster it would probably be sufficient to run a simpler test with one or two nodes just to test the installation.

Cheers, Tom

Hello Tom,

Thank you for the prompt response. Do you have a recommendation for a simpler test? I am not the primary user for this software, so a predefined test with included test data would be most helpful for me. We periodically update the operating system for our cluster and so we need to have a test on file that we can run to confirm the software is still operational for our researchers.

Thank you for the help.

Hi Dennis,

without knowing which data is being processed on the cluster it is difficult to judge - even more difficult to generate a test-graph.

Probably the best advice I can give is to ask the scientists about a processing graph they use (can be a simple re-projection) and take the confirmed result as your reference dataset. Then you can run the graph everytime the cluster-environment changed and run a comparision with the reference dataset (use band-maths to subtract the same variable from reference and actual - if the mean-value of the difference is >0 something is wrong).

Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom,

Thank you for the additional information. I ran the example provided and I was able to determine that the GDAL package that came with the software is not compatible with our system. So this was a good example to run.

Do you know if there are other external tools, like GDAL, used by the program that should be tested?

Thank you, Dennis

Hi Dennis,

SNAP uses some external native libraries. These are extracted on startup to "userhome"/.snap/auxdata Namely:

• gdal
• netcdf
• openjpeg

Also (if using the s1tbx): jblas (requires libgfortran5)

I hope that's all ...

Cheers, Tom
