Tools to find the most frequently used C++ algorithms on Github.

You can look at the results of 3869 analyzed C++ repos in my Google Spreadsheets or use the results.csv directly.

##Usage

For best mode you should disable input and output buffering of Python.

export PYTHONUNBUFFERED=true

Analyze the top C++ repos on Github and create a CSV file.

./top-github-repos.py | ./algostat.py | ./create-csv.py > results.csv

Analyze all C++ repos listed in GHTorrent.

cat cpp_repos.txt | ./algostat.py | ./create-csv.py > results.csv

Use a Redis Queue to distribute jobs among workers and then fetch the results. You need to provide the ALGOSTAT_RQ environment variable to the process with the address of the redis server.

export ALGOSTAT_RQ_HOST="localhost"
export ALGOSTAT_RQ_PORT="6379"

Now you need to fill the job queue with results from top github repos and repos listed in GHTorrent and sort out the duplicates.

./top-github-repos.py >> jobs.txt
cat cpp_repos.txt >> jobs.txt
sort -u jobs.txt | ./enqueue-jobs.py

On your workers you need to tell algostat.py to fetch the jobs from a redis queue and then store it in a results queue.

./algostat.py --rq | ./enqueue-results.py

After that you aggregate the results in a single csv.

./fetch-results.py | ./create-csv.py > results.csv

1. Make sure you have Python 3 installed
2. Clone the repository
3. Install requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt

You can use Docker to run the application in a distributed setup.

Run the redis server.

docker run --name redis -p 6379:6379 -d sameersbn/redis:latest

Get the IP address of your redis server. Assign it to the ALGOSTAT_RQ_HOST env variable for all following docker run commands. In this example we will work with 104.131.5.11.

I have already setup an automated build lukasmartinelli/algostat which you can use.

docker pull lukasmartinelli/algostat

Or you can clone the repo and build the docker image yourself.

docker build -t lukasmartinelli/algostat .

docker run -it --rm --name queue-filler \
-e ALGOSTAT_RQ_HOST=104.131.5.11 \
-e ALGOSTAT_RQ_PORT=6379 \
lukasmartinelli/algostat bash -c "cat cpp_repos.txt | ./enqueue-jobs.py"

Assign as many workers as you like.

docker run -it --rm --name worker1 \
-e ALGOSTAT_RQ_HOST=104.131.5.11 \
-e ALGOSTAT_RQ_PORT=6379 \
lukasmartinelli/algostat bash -c "./algostat.py --rq | ./enqueue-results.py"

Note that this step is not repeatable. Once you've aggregated the results the redis list will be empty.

docker run -it --rm --name result-aggregator \
-e ALGOSTAT_RQ_HOST=104.131.5.11 \
-e ALGOSTAT_RQ_PORT=6379 \
lukasmartinelli/algostat bash -c "./fetch-results.py | ./create-csv.py"
