<p>Hi John,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, this is the code in codes/doc/example_heterogeneous/example.c:<br>
void handle_forwarder_fwd(<br>
forwarder_state * ns,<br>
forwarder_msg * m,<br>
tw_lp * lp){<br>
// compute the forwarder lpid to forward to<br>
int mod;<br>
const char * dest_group;<br>
char * category;<br>
if (ns->is_in_foo){<br>
mod = num_bar_forwarders;<br>
dest_group = "BAR_FORWARDERS";<br>
category = "ping";<br>
}<br>
else{<br>
mod = num_foo_forwarders;<br>
dest_group = "FOO_FORWARDERS";<br>
category = "pong";<br>
}<br>
<br>
// compute the ROSS id corresponding to the dest forwarder<br>
tw_lpid dest_lpid = codes_mapping_get_lpid_from_relative(<br>
ns->id % mod, dest_group, "forwarder", NULL, 0);<br>
<br>
forwarder_msg m_fwd = *m;<br>
msg_set_header(forwarder_magic, FORWARDER_RECV, lp->gid, &m_fwd.h);<br>
// here, we need to use the unannotated forwarding network, so we<br>
// use the annotation version of model_net_event<br>
model_net_event_annotated(net_id_forwarding, "foo", category, dest_lpid,<br>
payload_sz, 0.0, sizeof(m_fwd), &m_fwd, 0, NULL, lp);<br>
<br>
ns->fwd_node_count++;<br>
}<br>
the sender lp is the forwarder in FOO_FORWARDERS,id is 26,dest_lpid id is 58,means the dest lp is the forwarder in BAR_FORWARDERS,they have same net type with different annotations.We We don't modify the code but the configuration file. We changed the type
of forwarder to two different types, they can still communicate. By the way, if we change the second parameter to "foo", "bar", or any string, model_net_event_annotated() can always run with success.<br>
<br>
<br>
For <span style="font-size:11.0pt">startup parameter in simplenet, what's the exact means of this parameter? Now we want to use simplenet to construct a complex network.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In my previous answer to your second question, I meant that you should run that or a similar benchmark on a real (not simulated) system to get an accurate startup parameter for the system you are simulating.
Eventually you'd want to use something like the loggp model that IIRC we've talked about off-thread, but simplenet is at least a reasonable model to start with.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hi John,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks for your response.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For the first question, the configuration is as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">LPGROUPS {<br>
## cluster foo<br>
FOO_CLUSTER {<br>

FOO_FORWARDERS {<br>

}<br>
## cluster bar<br>
BAR_CLUSTER {<br>
repetitions="12";<br>
node="1";<br>
modelnet_simplenet@bar="1";<br>
}<br>
BAR_FORWARDERS {<br>
repetitions="4";<br>
forwarder="1";<br>
modelnet_simplenet@bar="1";<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
PARAMS {<br>
## ROSS parameters<br>
message_size="352";<br>
<br>
## global modelnet parameters <br>
modelnet_order=("simplenet");<br>
<br>
## foo cluster network parameters <br>
packet_size@foo="8192";<br>
modelnet_scheduler@foo="fcfs";<br>
net_startup_ns@foo="1.5";<br>
net_bw_mbps@foo="10000";<br>
<br>
## bar cluster network parameters<br>
packet_size@bar="2048";<br>
modelnet_scheduler@bar="round-robin";<br>
net_startup_ns@bar="3.0";<br>
net_bw_mbps@bar="15000";<br>
<br>
## forwarding network parameters<br>
packet_size="4096";<br>
modelnet_scheduler="fcfs";<br>
net_startup_ns="8.0";<br>
net_bw_mbps="5000";<br>
}<br>
<br>
run_params {<br>
num_reqs="5";<br>
payload_sz="16384";<br>
}<br>
<br>
FOO_FORWARDERS and BAR_FORWARDERS are two groups. The lps in these groups have the same type but have different annotations. we call model_net_event_annotated(<br>
int net_id,//SIMPLENET(0)<br>
char const * annotation,<br>
char const * category, <br>
tw_lpid final_dest_lp, //sender->gid is 26,final_dest_lp is 58<br>
uint64_t message_size, <br>
tw_stime offset,<br>
int remote_event_size,<br>
void const * remote_event,<br>
int self_event_size,<br>
void const * self_event,<br>
tw_lp *sender); <br>
<br>
Then we can achieve the communication between lp26 and lp58.<br>
<br>
For the second questions, is it possible that we use model_net_event() to establish a simple point-to-point connection and
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">we send messages 1M times and take the average?<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">You are correct that modelnet LPs with different annotations shouldn't be able to communicate through the modelnet interface. Can you send us the configuration file you are using, along with the net_id, annotation,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The startup parameter in simplenet represents local sender-side overhead on a packet granularity. So one way to estimate the startup is to get an average per-call time (on the sender side) of very small (word-sized)
messages. I.e. measure calling send(fd, buf, 8, flags) 1M times and take the average.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
