hl_qual Common Plugin Switches and Parameters¶
The hl_qual is a command line based tool where each test variant is run from a command line terminal. Passing parameters to the hl_qual and the other test plugins is done through command line switches and parameters.
The hl_qual and test plugins switches and parameters are partitioned into two groups:
Common switches and parameters - These parameters are identical for all test plugins.
Test plugins specific switches and parameter - These are unique parameters for each test plugin.
The following lists of switches and parameters are applicable to all test plugins. The below sections further describe all switches and parameters according to the test plugins outlined in hl_qual Design.
-gaudi -gaudi2 -c <all or PCI bus id list> -rmod <serial | parallel> [-dis_mon] [-mon_cfg <monitor INI path>]
[-pl_cfg <plugin INI config path>] [-enable_serr] [-dmesg] [-disable_pipe_red]
Note
All the applicable switches are shown in the examples below; optional switches or parameters are placed within square brackets.
Switch Type |
Switch name |
Description |
|---|---|---|
Device identification switch |
|
Indicates that a first-gen Gaudi or Gaudi2 device should be detected and used for testing. ./hl_qual -gaudi|-gaudi2 -c all -rmod parallel -t 20 -f2
- l extreme
Notes:
|
Disable Monitor Screen Printout Switch |
|
Stops the monitor printout to the screen. This option is useful when running hl_qual inside a script. ./hl_qual -gaudi -dis_mon -c all -rmod parallel -t 20 -f2
- l extreme
Note: Data sampling of different values such as power, clock and temperature is still carried out but not displayed in the user screen. |
Changing Monitor configuration INI File Switch |
|
Enables using a different monitor configuration file instead of
the default ./hl_qual -gaudi -c all -mon_cfg my_mon.ini -rmod serial
-t 20 -p -b
|
Device PCI bus id Identification Switch |
|
Allows specifying Habana devices under test bus ids. There are two applicable formats:
Note: In the comma delimited bus ID list, avoid using spaces between the comma and the bus ID strings. |
Test Running Mode |
|
Specifies the running mode on the available Habana devices. There are two applicable modes:
|
Enable Memory Error Monitoring Switch |
|
Enables hl_qual SERR/DERR counter check, which verifies that no single ECC error or double error occurs while running the plugins. hl_qual reads the memory error indication via HLML library.
|
Disable Standard Output Pipelining Switch |
|
Disables the runner standard output redirection to the message pipe. This is significant when using logs directed to the screen or any other debug printouts. By default, when enabling console logs, the standard output redirection is automatically disabled. For further information, refer to hl_qual Failure Debug.
|
Enable Concatenation of dmesg Log |
|
Appends the dmesg report to hl_qual report. The dmesg report is accumulated for the duration of the test.
