ExtractTimes Perl script for easy performance info collection

[Raistmer]

I wrote some Perl script that will parse client_info.xml file and extract valuable performance info from it.
Currently supported apps are:
1 - AKv8 MB
2- ATI MB
3- ATI AP
4 -CPU AP
5 - x32f CUDA MB

For AP it will extract blanking % along with elapsed and CPU times, for MB - AR of task.
Script and example of its result in attached file.

Debug session of your perl script running on linux. Looks like it hangs somewhen :
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:1):      $path="client_state.xml";
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:2):      $results="Times.txt";
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:5):      open (IN, $path); 
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:6):      open (RES, ">".$results);
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:7):      print RES "Task name"."\t"."Parameter"."\t"."Result Type"."\t"."Revision"."\t"."ElapsedTime"."\t"."CPUTime"."\n";
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:9):      while (<IN>) {   
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:10):                     if( /<result>/ ){
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:10):                     if( /<result>/ ){
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:10):                     if( /<result>/ ){
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:10):                     if( /<result>/ ){
  DB<0> n
main::(ExtractTimes.pl:10):                     if( /<result>/ ){
...

hangs ?
Well, try to copy client_state.xml in different locaation before running script. If script re-created while it accessed by script some undefined behavior possible.

Ok, done like you suggested, but still same outcome its not getting beyond line 10.

And it should?
There are many other lines in client_state.xml before first <result> tag approaches...

It works after 109  tags with first <result>
Will try to add a section to detect opt CPU AP results also.

[Urs Echternacht]

   if( /Windows x86 rev (.*), Don't Panic!/ || /Linux 64 bit, rel.  Rev (.*)/ || /Linux 32 bit, rel.  Rev (.*)/){#uje: CPU opt AP detection
          $ResultType=4;
          $Revision=$1;
          next;
        }

Adding this section seems to work at least on Windows and Linux so far. Other OSs can easily be added. New ResultType 4: CPU opt AP

Please test yourself.

[Raistmer]

I have no CPU AP

I have no CPU AP

For a test you could copy one result section into your local copy of client_state.xml derived from someone elses seti@home account.

[Raistmer]

Let "someone else's" be your, post client_state, please, for test.

[Jason G]

Suggestion, just in case you forgot:  Do it by private means.  There's secret stuff in those files 

[Urs Echternacht]

Where did i say "that"? That is an interpretation of my words!
I said modify "your local copy" of the client_state for a test using some result info.

[Raistmer]

Not interpolation, perhaps just wrong reading
Ok I understood your idea now.

Or if anyone wants a .Net app I've got one that does the same (except haven't figured out how to get the ATI AP blanking % yet)
But will retrieve all the same info for Cuda MB, ATI MB and ATI AP, that I can make available

Then post it here too, if it's not proprietary code
blanking % can be retrieved form app stderr, just as AR value for MB task.
