Project Builder

Project builder helps you to deploy your experiments.

1. Create a folder in projects

2. Add a SConscript to the directory with the following initial lines:

   # -*- python -*-
   Import('env', 'project')
   

3. All necessary files for your experiment have to be given to the project object, eg,

   project.addFiles(env.Registry.collectFiles('rsm_test'))
   

4. Create a subdirectory for an experiment you want to perform. Add each subdirectory to your project, eg,

   project.addExperiment('simple_perf')
   

5. In each experiment subdirectory add scripts to initialize your experiment. You can use scaffold_project to access the files you added, eg, we have in rsm/simple_perf/Dudefile:

   sys.path.append("..")
   from scaffold_rsm import rsm
   ...
   rsm.filePaths['librsm_replica.so']
   

6. Deploy your experiment some local directory.

   scons project/rsm --deploy-dir=/tmp
   

   You can also deploy your experiment remotely with –deploy-host.
