<h2>Zoltan Parameters and Output Levels</h2>
|
||
|
|
The behavior of Zoltan is controlled by several <a

||
|
|
href="#General_Parameters">parameters
|
||
|
|
</a>and
|
||
|
|
<a href="#Debug%20Levels%20in%20Zoltan">debugging-output
|
||
|
|
levels</a>. These parameters can be set by calls to <b><a

|
||
|
|
Reasonable <a href="#Default_Parameter_Values">default values</a> for
|
||
|
|
all
|
||
|
|
parameters are specified by Zoltan. Many of the parameters are specific
|
||
|
|
to individual algorithms, and are listed in the descriptions of those
|
||
|
|
algorithms.
|
||
|
|
However, the parameters below have meaning across the entire library.

<h3><a name="General_Parameters"></a>

|
<hr>Debugging Levels in Zoltan</h3>
|
||
|
|
The <i>DEBUG_LEVEL</i> parameter determines how much debugging
|
||
|
|
information
|
||
|
|
is printed to <i>stdout</i> by Zoltan. It is set by a call to <b><a
|
||
|
|
href="ug_interface_init.html#Zoltan_Set_Param">Zoltan_Set_Param</a></b>.
|
||
|
|
Higher values of<i> DEBUG_LEVEL</i> produce more output and can slow
|
||
|
|
down
|
||
|
|
Zoltan's computations, especially when the output is printed by one
|
||
|
|
processor
|
||
|
|
at a time. The least output is produced when <i>DEBUG_LEVEL</i>
|
||
|
|
=
|
||
|
|
0.
|
||
|
|
<p>Descriptions of the output produced by Zoltan for each value of <i>DEBUG_LEVEL
|
||
|
|
</i>are
|
||
|
|
included below. For a given <i>DEBUG_LEVEL</i> value<i> n,</i>
|
||
|
|
all
|
||
|
|
output for values less than or equal to<i> n</i> is produced.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Some high debugging levels use processor synchronization to force
|
||
|
|
processors
|
||
|
|
to write one-at-a-time. For example, when <i>DEBUG_LEVEL</i>
|
||
|
|
is greater than or equal to eight, each processor writes its list in
|
||
|
|
turn
|
||
|
|
so that the lists from all processors are not jumbled together in the
|
||
|
|
output.
|
||
|
|
This synchronization requires all processors to use the same value of <i>DEBUG_LEVEL</i>.
