Data Transfers per Rank-to-Rank Communication

Key:-x [--transfers-per-communication]

This charts provides information about each rank-to-rank communication. This information can be useful for detecting imbalance in network usage.

Example

Chart Entries

Columns

Rank <-> Rank

Numbers of communicating ranks

Time (sec)

Communication time between ranks

Time (%)

Percent of total time spent in communication

Volume(MB)

Amount of data transferred in the communication (in megabytes)

Volume(%)

Percentage of amount of data transferred in the communication

Transfers

Number of messages in the communication

Rows

TOTAL

Total values for all columns

AVG

Average values for all columns. The values are calculated as follows: AVG = TOTAL / [(N*N + N)/2], where N is the number of ranks

Graphic Representation

To generate a graphic representation of rank-to-rank communication, use --format=html. For example: 

aps-report -x --format=html <result name>

Example

By default, the diagram is generated by communication time. If you need to have communication by volume, add the -v option for the graphic report generation.

You can also use the -X <N> option to specify the size of the diagram. For a given N, the diagram is displayed as a square with the size N by N.
