How to use HTC Mock

HTC Mock is a lightweight test client for ArmoniK that generates realistic tasks. It is used our CI/CD pipelines to validate the correct functioning of ArmoniK after code updates and development.

Ensure the ArmoniK Core version matches the HTC Mock client version; mismatched versions may cause tests to fail. See the Default images documentation for deployment details: the Default images page.

Quick start

Warning

HTC Mock is a development and test tool. It is not intended for production use.

Run the container with environment variables to configure the workload:

docker run --rm \
    -e HtcMock__NTasks=100 \
    -e HtcMock__TotalCalculationTime=00:00:00.100 \
    -e HtcMock__DataSize=1 \
    -e HtcMock__MemorySize=1 \
    -e HtcMock__EnableFastCompute=true \
    -e HtcMock__SubTasksLevels=1 \
    -e HtcMock__Partition=htcmock \
    -e GrpcClient__Endpoint=http://<ip>:5001 \
    dockerhubaneo/armonik_core_htcmock_test_client:<armonik_version_core>

  • Replace <ip> with the IP or hostname of the machine where ArmoniK Core is listening.

  • Replace <armonik_version_core> with the Core version you want to test (see the repository’s versions.tfvars.json).

Environment variables use the HtcMock__ prefix; command-line arguments are also supported by the client where applicable. For the up-to-date list of options, see the HtcMock options class in ArmoniK.Core.
