This will prevent bugs from occurring when Vanilla make changes to the API
as described here: http://vanillaforums.com/blog/api#configuration
Based on the bug that broke the website Guide section on 9/6/12,
the GATKDocs posting system will probably break in the next release if
this is not applied as a bug fix.
-- I've rewritten the entire NS framework to use a producer / consumer model for input -> map and from map -> reduce. This is allowing us to scale reasonably efficiently up to 4 threads (see figure). Future work on the nano scheduler will be itemized in a separate JIRA entry.
-- Restructured the NS code for clarity. Docs everywhere.
-- This is considered version 1.0
-Off by default; engine fork isolates new code paths from old code paths,
so no integration tests change yet
-Experimental implementation is currently BROKEN due to a serious issue
involving file spans. No one can/should use the experimental features
until I've patched this issue.
-There are temporarily two independent versions of LocusIteratorByState.
Anyone changing one version should port the change to the other (if possible),
and anyone adding unit tests for one version should add the same unit tests
for the other (again, if possible). This situation will hopefully be extremely
temporary, and last only until the experimental implementation is proven.
-- The NanoScheduler is doing a good job at tracking important information like time spent in map/reduce/input etc.
-- Can be disabled with static boolean in MicroScheduler if we have problems
-- See GSA-515 Nanoscheduler GSA-549 Retire TraverseReads and TraverseLoci after testing confirms nano scheduler version in single threaded version is fine
-- Closes GSA-515 Nanoscheduler GSA-542 Good interface to nanoScheduler
-- Old -nt means dataThreads
-- New -cnt (--num_cpu_threads_per_data_thread) gives you n cpu threads for each data thread in the system
-- Cleanup logic for handling data and cpu threading in HMS, LMS, and MS
-- GATKRunReport reports the total number of threads in use by the GATK, not just the nt value
-- Removed the io,cpu tags for nt. Stupid system if you ask me. Cleaned up the GenomeAnalysisEngine and ThreadAllocation handling to be totally straightforward now
-- Separate updating cumulative traversal metrics from printing progress. There's now an updateCumulativeMetrics function and a printProgress() that only takes a current position
-- printProgress now soles relies on the time since the last progress to decide if it will print or not. No longer uses the number of cycles, since this isn't reliable in the case of nano scheduling
-- GenomeAnalysisEngine now maintains a pointer to the master cumulative metrics. getCumulativeMetrics never returns null, which was handled in some parts of the code but not others.
-- Update all of the traversals to use the new updateCumulativeMetrics, printProgress model
-- Added progress callback to nano scheduler. Every bufferSize elements this callback is invoked, allowing us to smoothly update the progress meter in the NanoScheduler
-- Rename MapFunction to NanoSchedulerMap and the same for reduce.
-- Refactored TraverseLoci into old linear version and nano scheduling version
-- Temp. GATK argument to say how many nano threads to use
-- Can efficiently scale to 3 threads before blocking on input
-- Instead of returning directly the result of map(), returns a MapResult object with the value and a reduceMe flag.
-- Reduce function respects the reduceMe flag
-- Code cleanup and more documentation
