Why is test listed twice here?
To invoke mpiexec twice. The first invocation
will have no additional args beyond what the parent
has.
But why would I EVER want to run it again with the same arguments as the
previous time? Run the same test with the same arguments?
There is a confusion here.
When there are subtest blocks, the parent block does not generate any tests.
Perhaps a better specification would be to change the name of the
top-level block since it is not generating a test:
container:
suffix: 19
requires: datafilespath
args: -f0 ${DATAFILESPATH}/matrices/poisson1
args: -ksp_type cg -pc_type icc
args: -pc_factor_levels {{0 2 4}}
separate_testvars: pc_factor_levels
test:
test:
args: -mat_type seqsbaij
Two mpiexec invocations, same output, but wanting to test minor
permutations of arguments.
Other examples in ex10 that are of the same ilk are
ILU, cg_singlereduction, mumps_cholesky, mumps_lu, pastix_lu, zeropivot
It's more common though to have arguments change
the output requiring a new suffix:
{2,3},{4,5}, 7{a,b,c}, {13,14,15,17}, etc.
Instead of container, perhaps "testset" would
be more descriptive.
test:
args:
test:
args: -mat_type seqsbaij
Instead of having the ugly separate_testvars argument could you somehow
indicate it with the loop definition?
args: -pc_factor_levels {{0 2 4}separate test output files}
and
args: -pc_factor_levels {{0 2 4}shared test output file}
It's possible.
What about [[0 2 4]] implying separate test output files?
That works, the problem is that people have to remember what {{ means and and what [[
means. I would never be able to keep them straight, better to have a clear word that
distinguishes them. I agree what I suggest is wordy, could be "shared/separate
output"
So:
{{0 2 4}shared output}
and
{{0 2 4}separate output}
Would you accept {{0 2 4}} as being equivalent to {{0 2 4} shared ouput}
?
