OPTIONS 'exercise-sut start'

-h

Show this help message and exit.

-q

Be quiet.

-d

Print debugging information.

-H HOSTNAME, --host HOSTNAME

Name of the host to run the command on.

-U USERNAME, --username USERNAME

Name of the user to use for logging into the remote host over SSH. The default user name is 'root'.

-K PRIVKEY, --priv-key PRIVKEY

Path to the private SSH key that should be used for logging into the remote host. By default the key is automatically found from standard paths like '~/.ssh'.

-T TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT

SSH connect timeout in seconds, default is 8.

--datapoints DATAPOINTS, -c DATAPOINTS

Applicable only to 'wult' and 'ndl' tools. Number of datapoints to collect per measurement. Default is 100000.

--reportid-prefix REPORTID_PREFIX

String to prepend to the report ID.

--reportid-suffix REPORTID_SUFFIX

String to append to the report ID.

--cpunums CPUNUMS

Applicable only to the 'wult' and 'ndl' tools. Comma-separated list of CPU numbers to measure with.

--cstates CSTATES

Comma-separated list of requestable C-states to measure with.

--pcstates PCSTATES

Comma-separated list of package C-states to measure with.

--turbo TURBO

Comma-separated list of turbo configurations to measure with. Supported values are "on" and "off".

--freqs FREQS

Comma-separated list of frequencies to be measured with. For more information, see '--min-freq' and '--max-freq' options of the 'pepc pstates config' command. Special value 'unl' can be used to measure with unlocked frequency (minimum frequency set to smallest supported value, and maximum frequency set to highest supported value.

--uncore-freqs UNCORE_FREQS

Comma-separated list of package uncore frequencies to measure with. For more information, see '--min-uncore-freq' and '--max-uncore-freq' options of the 'pepc pstates config' command. Special value 'unl' can be used to measure with unlocked frequency (minimum frequency set to smallest supported value, and maximum frequency set to highest supported value.

--governor GOVERNOR

Name of the CPU frequency governor to measure with.

--aspm ASPM

Comma-separated list of PCIe ASPM configurations to measure with. Supported values are "on" and "off".

--c1-demotion C1_DEMOTION

Comma-separated list of C1 demotion configurations to measure with. Supported values are "on" and "off".

--c1-undemotion C1_UNDEMOTION

Comma-separated list of C1 undemotion configurations to measure with. Supported values are "on" and "off".

--c1e-autopromote C1E_AUTOPROMOTE

Comma-separated list of C1E autopromote configurations to measure with. Supported values are "on" and "off".

--cstate-prewake CSTATE_PREWAKE

Comma-separated list of C-state prewake configurations to measure with. Supported values are "on" and "off".

--epp EPP

Comma-separated list of EPP configurations to measure with. See 'pepc pstates config --epp' for more information.

--epb EPB

Comma-separated list of EPB configurations to measure with. See 'pepc pstates config --epb' for more information.

--state-reset

Set SUT settings to default values before starting measurements. The default values are: online all CPUs, enable all C-states, disable C1 demotion, disable C1 undemotion, disable C1E autopromotion, disable C-state prewake, enable turbo, unlock CPU frequency, unlock uncore frequency, set EPP policy to 'balance_performance', set EPB policy to 'balance-performance'.

--deploy

Applicable only to 'wult' and 'ndl' tools. Run the 'deploy' command before starting the measurements.

--devids DEVIDS

Applicable only to 'wult' and 'ndl' tools. Comma-separated list of device IDs to run the tools with.

--stats STATS

Applicable to 'wult', 'ndl' 'stats-collect'tools. Comma-separated list of statistics to collect.

--command COMMAND

Applicable only to 'stats-collect' tool. The command to that 'stats-collect' should run.

--stop-on-failure

Stop if any of the steps fail, instead of continuing (default).

--only-measured-cpu

When changing settings, such as CPU or uncore frequency, change them only for the measured CPU. Some settings have scope larger than "CPU", for example C-states limit scope may be "package", uncore frequency scope may be "die". In these cases, change only the package/die that inlcudes the measured CPU. By default the settings are applied to all CPUs, packages, dies. Note, this options does not exclude I/O dies, use '--skip-io-dies' for that.

--skip-io-dies

Skip I/O dies when changing die-scope settings, such as uncore frequency. Even though I/O dies do not have CPUs, by default they are configured the same way as compute dies.

--toolpath TOOLPATH

Path to the tool to run. Default is 'wult'.

--only-one-cstate

By default C-states deeper than measured C-state are disabled and other C-states are enabled. This option will disable all C-states, excluding the measured C-state.

--cstates-always-enable CSTATES_ALWAYS_ENABLE

Comma-separated list of always enabled C-states.

--use-cstate-filters

Applicable to 'wult' and 'ndl' tools. Use filters to exclude datapoints with zero residency of measured C-state.

--toolopts TOOLOPTS

Additional options to use for running the tool. The string "__reportid__" will be replaced with generated report ID.

--outdir OUTDIR, -o OUTDIR

Path to directory to store the results at. Default is <toolname-date-time>.

--dry-run

Do not run any commands, only print them.

--list-monikers

A moniker is an abbreviation for a setting. The 'exercise-sut' uses monikers to create directory names and report IDs for collected results. Use this option to list monikers assosiated with each settings, if any, and exit.
