Mike Dusenberry commented on SYSTEMML-1451:
-------------------------------------------
1. I think we'd find it quite helpful to replace our current bash
implementation with a Python implementation, as a full programming language
will make it easier to extend the scope of the tests.
2. Yeah part of restructuring the algorithms is moving away from one-off
scripts to a full library of algorithms, and that would definitely include
factoring out common elements. We will want to move to a 1:1 relationship at
the algorithm level though, with the implementations using imported functions
as needed.
> Automate performance testing and reporting
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SYSTEMML-1451
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-1451
> Project: SystemML
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Infrastructure, Test
> Reporter: Nakul Jindal
> Labels: gsoc2017, mentor, performance, reporting, testing
>
> As part of a release (and in general), performance tests are run for SystemML.
> Currently, running and reporting on these performance tests are a manual
> process. There are helper scripts, but largely the process is manual.
> The aim of this GSoC 2017 project is to automate performance testing and its
> reporting.
> These are the tasks that this entails
> 1. Automate running of the performance tests, including generation of test
> data
> 2. Detect errors and report if any
> 3. Record performance benchmarking information
> 4. Automatically compare this performance to previous version to check for
> performance regressions
> 5. Automatically compare to Spark MLLib, R?, Julia?
> 6. Prepare report with all the information about failed jobs, performance
> information, perf info against other comparable projects/algorithms
> (plotted/in plain text in CSV, PDF or other common format)
> 7. Create scripts to automatically run this process on a cloud provider that
> spins up machines, runs the test, saves the reports and spins down the
> machines.
> 8. Create a web application to do this interactively without dropping down
> into a shell.
> As part of this project, the student will need to know scripting (in Bash,
> Python, etc). It may also involve changing error reporting and performance
> reporting code in SystemML.
> Rating - Medium (for the amount of work)
> Mentor - [~nakul02] (Other co-mentors will join in)
