Hi,
I've started to play with Multicore visualizer
(org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.multicorevisualizer.ui).
My objective is to visualize the Kalray MPPA (it's a device with
288 cores) in Eclipse, during a debug session.
Cool! We are very excited to have you join to work on the
multicore visualizer. With the high number of cores on the Kalray
chip, it will be interesting to see how this goes.
Next step is to connect multicorevisualizer with the MPPA.
It seems the MultiCoreVisualizer relies on IGDBHardwareAndOS
service to retrieve CPUs, Cores, and Threads.
So I guess I've to provide my own implementation of this class ?
I think so. Depending on how linux-like your application looks
through GDB, you might be able to re-use some of the existing
implementation.
However you'll likely need to at least re-implement the part that
finds-out the number of CPUs/Cores (by looking in /proc/cpuinfo -
which is very Linux-specific). You probably will want to add some
Kalray-specific entities in there, in addition to the CPUs/cores
(Sorry - I do not remember the details, but I think you have a
concept of group-of-cores, that might be useful to add in there).
More generally, have you any hints on this topic ?
We are working on the first iteration of the Epiphany Visualizer
right now. It's based on the Multicore Visualizer, strategically
overriding some parts of it. We will be presenting this work at
EclipseCon next month. We are going to start working on the
IGDBHardwareAndOS part later this week - it's the biggest part
left. We might be able to share some code in a couple of weeks, if
you are interested to have a look. I attach a couple of recent
screenshot of the EV.
Regards,
Marc
Many thanks,
Xavier Raynaud
