Detailed Description

The Analyzer is the MPI program which is run together with the analyzed program.

The Analyzer receives messages from the instrumented MPI applications launched via MALP. The components of the Analyser are used to process those messages and to create profile reports.

The main part of the Analyzer is the Trace collector designed to maintain the communication stream (see Meta data handler ), the Analyzer BlackBoard and the Event dispatcher .

It also offers a modular interface allowing extension with data collectors (Collectors) and renderers (Rendering).

The Analyzer component can be launched directly or with some configuration options:

• One parameter call:

  "-w" or "\--write": command to force the writing of a config file to ./malp_an.conf by dumping the current (default?) configuration values

  "-h" or "\--help": display the malp_an help for the command parameters

• Two parameters call:

  "-c" "\--config": force to use the file provided as second/last parameter to configure the Analyzer if it exists (otherwise, it will use default value)

• Call without parameters:

  If started without option, the Analyzer will try to find and use a configuration file named malp_an.conf. If the file can't be found, the Analyzer will return an error and while it's stated to use defaults option, it will stop (return 1 as in TRUE, but this value is an ending condition).
