2.2 Compiling Sniper One can compile Sniper with the following command: cd sniper && make . If you have multiple processors, you can take advantage of a parallel makebuild starting with Sniper version 3.0. In that case, you can run make -j N , where N is the number of make processes to start...

In addition to viewing the sim.out file, we encourage the use of the sniper/tools/sniper lib.py:get results() function to parse and pro- cess results. The sim.stats files store the raw counter information that has been recorded by the different components of Sniper. Since Sniper 4.0, the new SQLite3...

3.5 Using Your Own Benchmarks Sniper can run most applications out of the box. Both static and dynamicbinaries are supported, and no special recompilation of your binary is nec-essary. Nevertheless, we find that most people will want to define a regionof interest (ROI) in their application to focus ...

run-sniper generates an mpiexec command line using mpiexec and the number of MPI ranks ( -np ). By default, one MPI rank is run per core. This can be overriden using the --mpi-ranks=N option. The mpiexec command can be overriden with the --mpi-exec= option. For example, this command will use mpirun ...
