Re: [ns] ns-2.34 validation tests fail (64bit-processor)

 Here you are, I exactly execuuted your command, but not sure
 if it has all the outputs that we want (i.e., for tests:
 test-all-tcpLinux, test-all-tcpHighspeed, test-all-red
 and test-all-cbq.


There seem to be a few things going on here.

for the test-all-cbq and test-all-red files, the data seems correct but 
the formatting is slightly off:  there are commas for periods in some of 
the outputs.  e.g.

test-output-red/flows-combined.test
 == flows_combined.test ==
 TitleText: test_flows_combined
 Device: Postscript

 flow  1
 84,8786 74,1902
 48,3181 46,8733

vs. test-output-red/flows-combined (good output)
 TitleText: test_flows_combined
 Device: Postscript

 flow  1
 84.8786 74.1902
 48.3181 46.8733


This may have something to do with the version of xgraph on the system.

for the tcpLinux and tcpHighspeed tests, there are lines missing (either 
truncated, or interleaved in the test output) from the output when 
compared to the reference output.  I don't know whether this is again a 
post-processing error or whether the simulation is not producing the 
same data.

The test-output-xcp data is different:

0.12186 420
0.12186 420
0.12186 420
0.12228 8
0.12228 8

vs

0.12186 420
0.12186 420
0.12186 420
0.12228 819
0.12228 819

In summary, I would be suspicious of the use of the tcpLinux, 
tcpHighspeed, and xcp models on this platform.  To debug this probably 
requires to step through the code at the points where the output 
diverge, using also a platform such as Linux that produces the reference 
output.

I don't have ns-2 running on Mountain Lion yet but I'll check whether 
similar issues arise there.

actually, xgraph is not used to generate this data; it is probably some 
divergence in the output of getrc or raw2xg, such as:

 exec $PERL ../../bin/getrc -s 2 -d 3 out.tr | \
   $PERL ../../bin/raw2xg -s 0.01 -m 90 -t $tname  temp.rands

Yes, if you look at the validation output, whenever a test fails , it says:

you have any suggestions?)

As I explained in my last email, I would like to do some simulations for IEEE 
802.11 MAC layer and also use some routing protocols , I don't think that 
validation tests failures for TCP will not be a problem, my only concern is 
that these tests fail:

/test-all-red ./test-all-cbq

Do you think that will cause a problem for my simulations if I these models do 
not work properly on my machine?

  CALL FOR PAPERS
PerCom 2013
 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and 
Communications
   18-22 March 2013, San Diego, USA
---

IEEE PerCom, now in its eleventh edition, is established as the premier annual 
scholarly venue in the areas of pervasive computing and communications. 
Pervasive computing and communications has evolved into an active area of 
research and development, due to the tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of 
technologies and topics including wireless networking, mobile and distributed 
computing, sensor systems, RFID technology, and the ubiquitous mobile phone.

PerCom 2013 will be held in San Diego, America's finest city, famous for its 
climate, its beaches, and numerous tourist attractions. PerCom 2013 will 
provide a leading edge, scholarly forum for researchers, engineers, and 
students alike to share their state-of-the art research and developmental work 
in the broad areas of pervasive computing and communications. The conference 
will feature a diverse mixture of interactive forums: core technical sessions 
of high quality cutting-edge research articles; targeted workshops on exciting 
topics; live demonstrations of pervasive computing in action; insightful 
keynote speeches; panel discussions from domain experts; and posters of budding 
ideas.

Research contributions are solicited in all areas pertinent to pervasive 
computing and communications, including:
   - Innovative pervasive computing applications
   - Context modeling and reasoning
   - Data management for pervasive computing
   - Programming paradigms for pervasive systems
   - Software evolution and maintenance in pervasive systems
   - Middleware for pervasive services and applications
   - Adaptive, autonomic and context-aware computing
   - Mobile/wearable computing systems and services in pervasive computing
   - Energy-efficient and green pervasive computing
   - Communication architectures for pervasive computing
   - Ad hoc networks for pervasive communications
   - Pervasive opportunistic communications and applications
   - Enabling technologies for pervasive systems (e.g., wireless BAN, PAN)
   - Positioning and tracking technologies
   - Sensors and RFIDs in pervasive systems
   - Multimodal sensing and context for pervasive applications
   - Participatory, opportunistic and social sensing
   - Smart devices and intelligent environments
   - Trust, security and privacy issues in pervasive systems
   - User interface, interaction, and persuasion
   - Virtual immersive communications
   - Pervasive computing aspects of social networks
   - Social and economic models for pervasive systems

Workshops and Affiliated Events

Many workshops will be held in conjunction with the main conference. Workshop 
papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore), 
showing their affiliation with IEEE PerCom. As in the past, PerCom 2013 will 
also feature a PhD Forum, Demonstrations and a Work-in-Progress Session.
