How to change GLog level?

#1

When autotuning, I get a lot of output like

[08:16:50] /workspace/.../rpc_server_env.cc:41: Remove /tmp/tmp67ityubf/tmp_func_95b3a51da735daa8.tar
[08:16:50] /workspace/.../rpc_server_env.cc:41: Remove /tmp/tmp67ityubf/tmp_func_95b3a51da735daa8.so
[08:16:50] /workspace/.../rpc_server_env.cc:41: Remove /tmp/tmpstbjfqmb/

which doesn’t seem particularly useful. (Is it supposed to be printed by default? Sample output at https://docs.tvm.ai/tutorials/autotvm/tune_nnvm_x86.html#sample-output doesn’t include it.)

Based on http://rpg.ifi.uzh.ch/docs/glog.html, I tried to call

GLOG_minloglevel=1 python3 my_script.py

but it didn’t work.

We should delete this message.

Can you send a patch?

There should be a way to set GLOG level.

#4

Sure. Should it be removed completely, or use VLOG? And should the same be done with neighboring

 LOG(INFO) << "Download " << file_name << "... nbytes=" << arr.size;

?

@merrymercy I left the debug message in for symmetry purposes with the old download message :). I guess it is OK to remove both if we believe RPC is stable enough. There may still be some lingering issues though. For example I think the second temp directory deleted may be extraneous (I do not know why it does not match the parent directory of the files that are deleted).

@eqy Actually, there are undeleted temporary directories (I just checked). Though they are empty (at least in my case).
