CPOST (Clara Pipeline Operator Sizing Tool)
Tool to measure resource usage of Clara Platform pipeline operators
Cpost is a tool that will help you run your pipeline locally and provides you with the CPU and memory usage of each operators ran for the given input payload. Opeartors are ran one at a time and CPU and memory usage are sampled. The CPU and memory usage metrics are provided in a .csv format which allows further data analytics as needed.
System Requirements
- Clara Compiler (downloadable from NGC)
- Docker 20.10 or higher due to cgroup v2 constraints
- System must be using cgroup v2 (See Docker Control Groups for more information)
- Python 3.8.0 or higher *Do not have a Triton instance running on the same machine that CPOST is running on. CPOST will provision it's own Triton instance and the two instances could conflict and cause failures.
Usage
The following is the help message of cpost:
usage: cpost [-h] [--metrics_dir METRICS_DIR] [--models_dir MODELS_DIR] [-v] [--force [{none,cont,stop}]]
Clara Pipeline Sizing Tool CLI
positional arguments:
pipeline definition file path
input payload directory
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--metrics_dir METRICS_DIR
metrics output directory, if not specified, write to stdout
--models_dir MODELS_DIR
directory for Triton models, required if pipeline uses Triton
-v, --verbose verbose output (DEBUG level). If not specified, default output is INFO level.
--force [{none,cont,stop}]
force continue or stop when operator failure occurs. (default: none, which will prompt the user for each failure).
Quick Start Guide
Download CPOST
Method 1: From NGC
Download the cpost wheel file from NGC. (Available soon)
Method 2: Build from Source Repository
- Clone this repository.
- In the source folder, run
python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheeland you should see a wheel file in./dist. Use this file topip installin your desired virtual environment. For example:
$ ls
CONTRIBUTING.md demo dist LICENSE README.md requirements-dev.txt requirements.txt setup.cfg setup.py src tests
$ ls dist
nvidia_clara_cpost-0.0.0-py3-none-any.whl nvidia-clara-cpost-0.0.0.tar.gz
Run CPOST in a virtual environment (or I guess you can install it globally as well)
After you have downloaded the wheel from Download CPOST, create a virtual environment to work with.
$ mkdir ./demo
$ cd demo
$ python3.8 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install ../dist/nvidia_clara_cpost-0.0.0-py3-none-any.whl # or any other path to the wheel file
After pip install has completed, run cpost and you should see the help message.
Prepare Pipeline Data
Let's prepare some source data to work with. We will use the AI Spleen Segementation Pipeline as an example
Download the Clara AI Spleen Segmentation Pipeline to a directory (e.g. ./demo). Download instructions are available on the linked page
Once we have the spleen downloaded, go into the folder and unzip the model and input data.
$ cd clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}
$ ls clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}
app_spleen-input_v1.zip app_spleen-model_v1.zip source.zip spleen-pipeline-model-repo.yaml spleen-pipeline.yaml
$ unzip app_spleen-input_v1.zip -d app_spleen-input_v1
$ unzip app_spleen-model_v1.zip -d app_spleen-model_v1
Now we're ready to run cpost!
The simplest way to run cpost is to provide a pipeline definition file and input payload data as shown below. The resulting metrics and console logs are written to standard output directly. In the demo folder:
$ cpost --models_dir clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}/app_spleen-model_v1 clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}/spleen-pipeline.yaml clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}/app_spleen-input_v1
If raw metrics are desired, then a valid directory can be specified with --metrics_dir and the resulting metrics csv files will be stored in the given directory for each executed operator.
$ mkdir metrics
$ cpost--metrics_dir metrics --models_dir clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}/app_spleen-model_v1 clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}/spleen-pipeline.yaml clara_ai_spleen_pipeline_v${VERSION_ON_NGC}/app_spleen-input_v1
Interpreting the Result
After running the above command, you should see below as output:

Troubleshooting
Docker pull error
Docker pull command for `nvcr.io/nvstaging/clara/dicom-reader:0.8.1-2108.1` returned with code 1
stdout is:
stderr is: Error response from daemon: unauthorized: authentication required
Please verify docker access and the pipeline definition
Resolution: CPOST performs a local check to match with the given image and tag. If this fails, CPOST performs a docker pull. Thus, please do a docker login to the correct registry or ensure that you have the correct docker image locally.
Docker network error
Error response from daemon: network with name cpost_net already exists
cpost_net already exist, please remove the network and rerun cpost
Resolution: This occurs because the docker network with name "cpost_net" already exist, which could either because you happen to have this network or because CPOST failed to clean up in one of the previous runs. Please do a docker network rm cpost_net and docker network ls to ensure this network is cleaned up.
For all other problems, please submit an issue in the repository and we will resolve this as soon as possible.
Warning from container ID timeout
Running operator ...
Obtaining docker ID timed out. Operator spleen-segmentation failed
Operator spleen-segmentation failed with exitcode -15
Resolution: This occurs when CPOST tries to run the container in detached mode and times out during when waiting for the container ID to return. The exitcode -15 means that cpost terminated the docker container because it speculates that something has gone wrong. This could happen due to a lot of reasons, and you can run in -v (verbose) mode to see the full docker run command and run it yourself and hopefully this will provides you some insights on why CPOST couldn't obtain a docker ID.
Running from Source Code During Development
The environment must have Python 3.8 installed and should have the necessary packages required by cpost installed. The requirements.txt contains all the necessary packages and can be used to install them. The tools used for development can be found in requirements-dev.txt
Once virtual environment are created successfully and have been activated. Install the requirements.txt with pip or conda, etc.. The following command can be run directly as cpost:
python src/main.py
Test Coverage
To see test coverage, activate the virtual environment and install the development tools from requirements-dev.txt. From the root of repository, run the command below will provide the unittest coverage report.
coverage run -m pytest tests && coverage report
