Convertor to a dataset from a Standart Workload Format

Description

This is a convertor from a Standart Workload Format (used to share the logfiles of High Performance Clusters) to an internally used in a package dataset format

Usage

FromSWF(filename)

Arguments

filename

A mandatory field containing the path to SWF file

Details

The Standart Workload Format is a single format to store and exchange high performance cluster logs, that is used in Parallel Workload Archive. See references for current standard. The SWF format may contain additional data, but in this package only the 1st to 5th fields are used. One may also need to manually fill in the header of the file in order to completely prepare the resulting SWF file.

Value

A dataset is returned, containing 'delay' as a vector of delays exhibited by each task, 'total_cores' as the total busy CPUs in time of arrival of each task, and 'workload' as total work left at each CPU.
