= PROGRAM =
dataload.py

= DESCRIPTION =
dataload.py in a python program that is used to put the data from
benchmark test results into json files, for use by the Jenkins flot plugin
module.

It is called by [[function_bench_processing|bench_processing]] during
post_test for a benchmark test.

== outline ==
The program has the following rough outline:
 * read the reference.log file to get the metric names
 * parse plot.data into a python structure
 * write data into the <testname>.<metric>.json file
 * write data into the <testname>.info.json file

= ENVIRONMENT and ARGUMENTS =
parser.py takes takes positional arguments on its command line.
 * $1 - $JOB_NAME - the name of the test (ex: 'Benchmark.Dhrystone')
 * $2 - $DATA_FILE - the name containing the plot data (<testname>/plot.data)
 * $3 - $REF_FILE  - the name of the reference log (<testname>/reference.log)

dataload.py is called with the following invocation, from [[function_bench_processing|bench_processing]]:

{{{#!YellowBox
  run_python $PYTHON_ARGS $FUEGO_CORE/engine/scripts/parser/dataload.py $JOB_NAME $DATA_FILE $REF_FILE $TESTDIR
}}}


= OUTPUT =
This program outputs the files:
 * <testname>.<metric>.json (ex: Benchmark.Dhrystone.Dhrystone.json)
 * <testname>.info.json (ex: Benchmark.Dhryston.info.json)
