Re: [ptp-user] ppe.hpct plugin - PTP 4.0/PTP 5.0 API changes

I don't think there's anything basic
to the design of either the HPC Toolkit plugin or synchronized projects
that prevents them from working together. IBM PE Developer Edition (AIX
only at this time) includes a version of this plugin which does work with
both remote and synchronized projects.

I think the issue you are encountering
is related to some API changes in PTP 3.7 that broke the copy of the plugin
you have.

That version of the plugin relies on
the PTP service configuration model which requires you to set the PTP connection
protocol in the HPCT preferences page, restart Eclipse, then set up the
service configuration for the synchronized project in the properties page
for the project and finally to set an active service configuration.

I tried that this morning, and when
I tried to enable the HPCT service provider as a profiling service for
the synchronized project, I got an AbstractMethodError exception (traceback
below) that I think is related to the API changes.

That version of the HPCT plugin was
tested with Eclipse 3.6, and PTP 4.0, and needs to continue to work with
those levels. I'm not sure how feasible it is to make it work as well with
PTP 5.0 or ow feasible it is to modify PTP 5.0 so this plugin works.

   ppe.hpct plugin

---

Hi,

am I correct that the ppe.hpct plugin com.ibm.research.hpct_5.2.201.zip,
taken 
from supzero.lrz.de (==LRZ Migration system) is not really designed to
work 
with eclipse synchronized projects ?

I had a synchronized project nicely set up, local host Linux x86 32-bit,
remote host  Linux x86_64 64-bit with ppe.poe 5.2 installed. The eclipse
GUI 
ran on the local host.

I could install the above *.zip file and change to the HPCT perspective
without 
any problem. But then I couldn't tell the tool, not to look locally for
the 
executable (which is of the wrong format elf 32-bit anyway), but to search
for 
the binary and perform the instrumentation on the remote host. Am I correct
that this is not implemented yet ?

Suppose I manage to run the instrumenter via command line on the remote
host 
(or use peekperf on the remote host) and generate *.viz files (on the remote
host) that way. Am I correct to expect that the git machinery of the  
synchronized project will replicate them to the local host and I can open
them 
on with the HPCT perspective ?
