Introduction

The following section presents general information about MicroCreator. It contains the link to the coding conventions of the project, the directory structure, and the most used data structures.

The directory structure

The current directory structure of the project is :

.
├── Core
│   ├── Include
│   └── Src
├── example
│   └── empty
├── Libraries
│   ├── allocator
│   │   ├── dedicated_arrays
│   │   └── glibc_malloc
│   ├── energy
│   │   └── esrv
│   ├── power
│   ├── power_snb_msr
│   │   └── includes
│   ├── threadpinner
│   └── timer</pre>
├── obj
├── output
└── regression

For the source code of the project, it is found doxygen here.

• Core: contains the header and source files of the main files
• example: contains any example files we have with a C file used during the tool's execution
• obj: is used during the compilation phase to store the object files
• output: is the default output directory when executing benchmark programs
• regression: defines any regression tests the tool must pass before modifying the golden version

The main elements

The Main file

The Main file contains the main function, handles the command-line options and general tool start-up.

Core

The Core directory contains the internal MicroLauncher code. It consists in files handling the benchmark execution, the configuration file loading and saving, the log system, and the command-line option parsing.

example

The example directory contains a few test examples of kernels MicroLauncher can execute.

Libraries

MicroLauncher is a tool using dynamic libraries to handle two different key components: the allocation and evaluation libraries. An example of allocation library is provided in the allocator subdirectory. The timer subdirectory contains the default evaluation library, using the rtdsc instruction.
