Performance Checks

Defining Metrics

buildtest provides a method to define test metrics in the buildspecs which can be used to store arbitrary content from the output/error file or an arbitrary file into named metric. The metrics property is used to define a list of metric names using regular expression to assign a value to the metric. In this example, we have two tests that define metrics hpcg_rate_stream, hpcg_state_stream in the first test and hpcg_rate_file, hpcg_state_file in the second test. The stream property is used to read from stdout/stderr and apply the regular expression defined by exp, whereas file_regex is used to define metrics from an arbitrary file where file is the path to file.

buildspecs:
  metric_regex_example:
    executor: generic.local.bash
    type: script
    description: capture result metric from output
    run: echo "HPCG result is VALID with a GFLOP/s rating of=63.6515"
    tags: tutorials
    metrics:
      hpcg_rating_stream:
        type: float
        regex:
          exp: '(\d+\.\d+)$'
          stream: stdout
      hpcg_state_stream:
        type: str
        regex:
          exp: '(VALID)'
          stream: stdout

  metric_file_regex:
    executor: generic.local.bash
    type: script
    description: capture result metric from file path
    run: echo "HPCG result is VALID with a GFLOP/s rating of=63.6515" > hpcg.txt
    tags: tutorials
    metrics:
      hpcg_rating_file:
        type: float
        file_regex:
          exp: '(\d+\.\d+)$'
          file: hpcg.txt
      hpcg_state_file:
        type: str
        file_regex:
          exp: '(VALID)'
          file: hpcg.txt

The metrics can be used with Comparison Operators for performing more sophisticated status checks. By default, a metric will be an empty dictionary if there is no metrics property. If we fail to match a regular expression, the metric will be defined as an empty string ('').

Note

If your regular expression contains an escape character \ you must surround your string in single quotes ' as pose to double quotes "

Let’s build this test.

The metrics are captured in the test report which can be queried via buildtest report or buildtest inspect query. Metrics can be seen in the test metadata, for instance you can run buildtest inspect query and you will see metrics shown in table output.

We can query the metrics via buildtest report which will display all metrics as a comma seperated Key/Value pair. We can use buildtest report --format metrics to extract all metrics for a test. Internally, we store the metrics as a dictionary but when we print them out via buildtest report we join them together into a single string. Shown below is the metrics for the previous build.

buildtest report --filter buildspec=tutorials/metrics/metrics_regex.yml --format name,metrics

Invalid Metrics

We will discuss a few edge-cases when defining metrics that can lead to validation error. The file_regex and regex property can’t be declared at the same time when defining a metric. In example below we have defined a metric named hello that uses both regex and file_regex.

buildspecs:
  metrics_with_regex_and_file_regex_not_allowed:
    type: script
    executor: generic.local.bash
    description: This is an invalid metric because 'file_regex' and 'regex' are both specified

When defining a metrics, you must specify regex or file_regex property in order to capture metric. If its not specified, you will run into validation error. In this example, we define a metrics named foo, but we don’t specify the regex or file_regex property therefore, this metric is invalid.

buildspecs:
  required_property_in_metrics:
    type: script
    executor: generic.local.bash
    description: metrics must have a file_regex or regex property to define how to capture metric
    run: echo "hello"
    metrics:
      foo:
        type: str

The metrics must follow a pattern, this is typically alphanumeric characters including dot (.), hypen (-) and underscore (_). In this example below, we have an invalid metric that doesn’t conform to pattern.

buildspecs:
  invalid_metrics_name:
    type: script
    executor: generic.local.bash

        type: str
        regex:
          stream: stdout
          exp: "BAR"

Let’s try validating the buildspec to see the error message.

Comparison Operators

buildtest supports several comparison operators as part of status check such as >, >=, <=, <, ==, !=. Each metric is compared with a reference value that can be useful when running performance checks. In this section we will cover the following comparison:

Greater Equal

buildtest can determine status check based on performance check. In this next example, we will run the STREAM memory benchmark and capture metrics named copy, scale add and triad from the output and perform an Assertion Greater Equal (assert_ge) with a reference value.

The assert_ge contains a list of assertions in the comparisons property where each metric name is referenced via name that is compared with the reference value defined by ref property. The comparison is metric_value >= ref, where metric_value is the value assigned to the metric name captured by the regular expression. The type field in the metric section is used for the type conversion which can be float, int, or string. The item is a numeric field used in match.group to retrieve the output from the regular expression search. The item must be non-negative number.

46          ref: 6000
47        - name: triad
48          ref: 6500

buildtest will evaluate each assertion in the list and use a logical AND to determine the final status of assert_ge. The keyword mode is used to determine whether to perform a logical OR / AND operation when evaluating the final expression. The mode can be any of the values: [AND, OR, and, or]. If mode is ommitted the default is logical AND.

Let’s build this test, take a close look at the output of buildtest build and take note of the assertion statement.

Assert Equal

buildtest can perform assert equality check with metrics to determine status of test. In this next example, we define four metrics x, y, first, and last which will be compared with its reference value. We introduce a new property assert_eq which is composed of list of assertions. Each reference is converted to its appropriate type (int, float, str).

This test is expected to pass where all assertions are True. Let’s build the test and see the output

Name: John Smith

In the next example, we have two tests to highlight some exceptions. In the first test, we define an invalid metric name invalid_metric in assert_eq since this metric was not defined in metrics field, therefore this test will fail. The second test will fail because we have a mismatch in value captured by metric x which is 1 however the reference value is 2.

Assert Not Equal

In this section, we will discuss the inverse equality operation Not Equal check (!=) with reference value.

We can use assert_ne property to perform != check, it works similar to assert_eq with data types int, float and str. In this example, we check the metrics x, y, first and last and each metric should pass. The reference value is converted to the data-type (type field) for each metrics

Assert Range

The assert_range property can be used to test performance for a metric given a lower and upper bound. This property expects one to specify lower and upper field which must be an integer or floating point number to perform comparison. buildtest will perform an assertion, if metric value is in the range specified by lower and upper, then test will pass. Shown below is an example using the assert_range property with stream benchmark.

Note that performance results may vary on your system and depending on the metric value you may want to adjust the lower and upper bound to match your requirement.

Contains and Not Contains

Buildtest can perform status check with a list of reference values and check if metrics value is in the list. The property contains and not_contains can be used to perform this type of check. The ref property is a list of reference values that a metric must have to pass metrics check.

In example below we have two tests, the first test perform contains and not_contains on metrics x. We expect both status check will pass. The second test is expected to fail because metric x will store integer value 1 but the list has string equivalent ‘1’.
