This commit introduces the OVNI_TRACEDIR environment variable to change the directory where traces are generated. By default, when the envar is not defined, the trace is still generated in the ovni directory. The envar can take a trace directory name, a relative path to the directory, or its absolute path. In the first case, the directory is created in the current path $PWD. Both libovni (rt) and ovnisync read this environment variable.
The ovni project is composed of a runtime library (libovni.so), which generates a fast binary trace, and post-processing tools such as the emulator ovniemu, which transform the binary trace to the PRV format, suitable to be loaded in Paraver.
The libovni.so library is licensed under MIT, while the rest of tools are GPLv3 unless otherwise stated.
For more information, read the documentation online or take a look at the
doc/ directory. You can display the documentation in HTML by running mkdocs serve from the root directory.
To build ovni you would need a C compiler, MPI and cmake version 3.20 or newer.
To compile in build/ and install into $prefix use:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$prefix ..
$ make
$ make install
To run the tests you can run (from the build directory):
$ make test
See cmake(1) and cmake-env-variables(7) to see more information about the variables affecting the generation and build process.
