[codes-ross-users] CODES 0.6.0 Released!

[Mubarak, Misbah]

Hi All,


We are happy to announce the recent release of CODES version 0.6.0. This release comes after an year since the last release so there have been significant changes and additions. We are listing the major changes here (See docs/RELEASE_NOTES for full list of changes):

  *   CODES can now replay MPI collectives by using CoRTex — a library for translating collectives to point to point operations.
  *   Dragonfly network model based on Cray XC topology has been added. The model can use the network configurations of Theta and Edison systems. Custom network configurations can be generated using C scripts.
  *   Fat tree network model with support for adaptive and static routing has been added. The model can support both full and pruned fat tree configurations.
  *   MPI rendezvous protocol can now be replayed in addition to the eager protocol. The transition point for switching between the two protocols is configurable.
  *   Background network communication using uniform random workload can now be generated. The traffic generation gets turned off when the main workload finishes.
  *   C++ models can now be built and integrated with CODES. The new dragonfly model has been implemented in C++.
  *    Test suite has been extended — tests for DUMPI trace replay have been added.
  *   Compatible with the most recent ROSS version that supports gvt/real-time sampling.

The release is available for download at : http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/CODES/releases/codes-0.6.0.tar.gz

Thanks,
Misbah
