+# Java configuration for surefire
+
+The "java" file here is actually a shell script we use
+to allow us to customize surefire test execution
+via the <jvm> parameter in surefire.
+
+Surefire "detects" java by checking for a parent bin directory
+and a java executable. There is no configurable way
+to pass a wrapper script. Thus we do this.

Subject: [PATCH 05/70] Fix up transpose op bugs. (deallocations and shape
 buffer related) Ensure thread safety on deallocations in
 pointerwrapper,opaquebuffer Fix up uniform dealocation and result
 propagation. Remove commented code. Remove old traceNew method Removes old
 clionide exclusion in type_boilerplate.h Remove unused scalar.cu Misc fixes
 for scalar related shape descriptor creation Update java build script Remove
 some unused c++ tests Improve debug statements in DeclarableOp.cpp Add new
 FuncTracce developer doc explaining the functionality.

+# Deeplearning4j: Enhanced Stack Trace Feature Overview
+
+## Introduction
+
+For developers who are knee-deep in troubleshooting, understanding where a problem originated can be invaluable. In line with that, Deeplearning4j now introduces an advanced feature that provides an insightful fusion of Java and C++ stack traces. This is especially useful when debugging issues related to memory allocation and deallocation.
+
+## Feature: SD_GCC_FUNCTRACE
+
+When you build Deeplearning4j with the `SD_GCC_FUNCTRACE` option turned on, it activates the ability to display C++ stack traces. This powerful feature, however, comes with a caveat: it requires numerous platform-specific dependencies to function seamlessly.
+
+### What's New?
+
+When the aforementioned feature is active, developers can now enable a fresh capability that showcases both Java and C++ stack traces at every instance of memory allocation and deallocation in the Deeplearning4j codebase.
+
+Here's the crux of this new feature:
+
+1. **Allocation and Deallocation Triggers**: The stack traces will be printed just as a buffer is about to be deallocated.
+2. **Crash Insights**: Typically, the last deallocation that took place will pinpoint the site of the crash.
+3. **Full Problem Context**: By analyzing Java and C++ stack traces side by side, developers can derive a comprehensive understanding of the issue at hand.
+4. **Enhancement Over Sanitizers**: This feature is a supplement to sanitizers, which occasionally falter in showing internal stack traces instead of the real underlying problem.
+
+## Enabling the Feature
+
+Activating this feature is straightforward. Here's a snippet to do just that:
+
+```java
+Nd4j.getEnvironment().setFuncTraceForAllocate(true);
+Nd4j.getEnvironment().setFuncTraceForDeallocate(true);
+```
+
+With these lines of code:
+
+- The first line will enable the printing of stack traces during memory allocation.
+- The second line will do the same for deallocation.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+By leveraging this new feature, developers can achieve a granular understanding of memory-related issues in Deeplearning4j's operations. This comprehensive insight into both Java and C++ realms will significantly streamline the debugging process and enhance code reliability.
+
+_Remember, while powerful, this feature can also be verbose. Hence, it's recommended to use it judiciously, primarily when deep troubleshooting is necessary._

+        Some notes on preload:
+        1. Typical uses for debugging are pre loading address sanitizer or jemalloc to track down allocation bugs.
+        2. You must also pre load libtsan if you build with thread sanitizer like so:
+        export LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/libtsan.so.0
+        The reason for this is you run in to errors like:  libtsan.so: cannot allocate memory in static TLS block
+        This at least always seems to happen with cuda + thread sanitizer but may happen with other combinations.

-                Handling of global mean and variance:
-                Normally the design for batch norm is to:
-                    globalMean = decay * globalMean + (1-decay) * minibatchMean
-                    globalVar  = decay * globalVar  + (1-decay) * minibatchVar
-                However, because of distributed training (gradient sharing), we don't want to do this...
-                Instead: We'll use the mathematically equivalent but "distributed safe" approach of:
-                mean[t+1] = mean[t] - updateMean
-                updateMean = mean[t] - mean[t+1] = (1-d) * (mean[t] - minibatchMean)
-                And use the same idea for global variance estimate.
-
-                Note also that we have 2 supported parameterizations here:
-                1. global variance estimate (only option until after 1.0.0-beta3)
-                2. global log10(std) estimate
-                These make zero difference for local training (other than perhaps when using FP16), but the latter is more
-                numerically stable and is scaled better for distributed training

-        Modify the network to remove hard-coded dropout operations for inference.
-        This is a little ugly as Tensorflow/BERT's dropout is implemented as a set of discrete operations - random, mul, div, floor, etc.
-        We need to select all instances of this subgraph, and then remove them from the graph entirely.
-
-        Note that in general there are two ways to define subgraphs (larger than 1 operation) for use in GraphTransformUtil
-        (a) withInputSubgraph - the input must match this predicate, AND it is added to the subgraph (i.e., matched and is selected to be part of the subgraph)
-        (b) withInputMatching - the input must match this predicate, BUT it is NOT added to the subgraph (i.e., must match only)
-
-        In effect, this predicate will match the set of directly connected operations with the following structure:
-        (.../dropout/div, .../dropout/Floor) -> (.../dropout/mul)
-        (.../dropout/add) -> (.../dropout/Floor)
-        (.../dropout/random_uniform) -> (.../dropout/add)
-        (.../dropout/random_uniform/mul) -> (.../dropout/random_uniform)
-        (.../dropout/random_uniform/RandomUniform, .../dropout/random_uniform/sub) -> (.../dropout/random_uniform/mul)
-
-        Then, for all subgraphs that match this predicate, we will process them (in this case, simply replace the entire subgraph by passing the input to the output)
-
-        How do you work out the appropriate subgraph to replace?
-        The simplest approach is to visualize the graph - either in TensorBoard or using SameDiff UI.
-        See writeBertUI() in this file, then open DL4J UI and go to localhost:9000/samediff

Subject: [PATCH 31/70] Fix assign on flatten arrays Reshape would have issues
 when the array can't be returned as a view. Incorrect arrays would be
 created. This affected parameters among other things. Create new linear_copy
 to ensure we can bypass calculate output shape with assign and non
 broadcastable arrays.

+> # Benchmarking CUDA with NCU in Deeplearning4j's platform-tests Module
+>
+> ## Introduction
+>
+> This document provides instructions for using NVIDIA's NCU (NVIDIA Compute Profiler) to benchmark CUDA performance in the `platform-tests` module of Deeplearning4j. It highlights the necessity of running the profiler as the root user and explains the rationale behind using a standalone JUnit console launcher instead of Maven Surefire.
+>
+> ## Why Run as Root?
+>
+> Running the NCU profiler as a root user is essential due to the elevated permissions required to load specific kernel modules necessary for CUDA profiling. Normal users may encounter permissions issues, hindering access to required system resources for kernel-level operations. Root access ensures unrestricted profiling capabilities.
+>
+> ## Why Standalone JUnit Console Instead of Maven Surefire?
+>
+> **Issues with Maven Surefire**:
+>
+> - **Freezing During Execution**: When using Maven Surefire for test execution, there have been observed instances of freezing, particularly after a number of test attempts. This issue becomes more pronounced with longer tests, potentially affecting the reliability and efficiency of the profiling process.
+> - **Exacerbated by Long Tests**: Longer tests are more susceptible to these freezing issues. This inconsistency can lead to incomplete or unreliable profiling data, which is detrimental to the purpose of performance benchmarking.
+>
+> **Advantages of Standalone JUnit Console**:
+>
+> - **Stability**: The standalone JUnit console offers more stable execution of tests, especially those with longer durations, thereby providing more consistent and reliable profiling results.
+> - **Flexibility**: It allows for greater control and flexibility in test execution, which is essential when profiling specific parts of the code, particularly in a CUDA environment.
+> - **Test Modification**: For profiling purposes, tests might need temporary modifications to cater to profiling requirements. The standalone console facilitates these modifications more seamlessly than Maven Surefire.
+>
+> ## Pre-requisites
+>
+> - NVIDIA's NCU installed as part of the NVIDIA NSight Compute package.
+> - The standalone JUnit console launcher.
+> - A shaded (uber) jar of the Deeplearning4j `platform-tests` module.
+>
+> ## Setup
+>
+> 1. **Install NVIDIA NSight Compute**: Ensure that NVIDIA NSight Compute is installed on your system. It includes the NCU tool.
+>
+> 2. **Download JUnit Console Standalone**: Obtain the standalone JUnit console launcher from [Maven Central](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/junit/platform/junit-platform-console-standalone/1.9.3/).
+>
+> 3. **Build Deeplearning4j `platform-tests` Uber Jar**: Compile the `platform-tests` module of Deeplearning4j into an uber jar.
+>
+> ## Running the Benchmark
+>
+> To run the benchmark, use the following command:
+>
+> ```
+> /usr/local/cuda-12.1/nsight-compute-2023.1.1/target/linux-desktop-glibc_2_11_3-x64/ncu \
+> --config-file off \
+> --export /root/profiler-output7.txt \
+> --force-overwrite \
+> --target-processes all \
+> --replay-mode application \
+> --app-replay-match all \
+> --app-replay-buffer file \
+> --app-replay-mode strict \
+> --set detailed \
+> --sampling-max-passes 1 \
+> --check-exit-code no \
+> java -cp /home/agibsonccc/Downloads/junit-platform-console-standalone-1.9.3.jar \
+> org.junit.platform.console.ConsoleLauncher \
+> -cp=target/platform-tests-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar \
+> -m=org.eclipse.deeplearning4j.dl4jcore.gradientcheck.CNN1DGradientCheckTest#testCnn1dWithMasking
+> ```
+>
+> ## Understanding NCU Command Flags
+>
+> - **--config-file off**: Disables the use of default configuration file for profiling.
+> - **--export /root/profiler-output7.txt**: Specifies the file path for saving the profiler's output.
+> - **--force-overwrite**: Allows overwriting of the output file if it already exists.
+> - **--target-processes all**: Targets all processes for profiling.
+> - **--replay-mode application**: Sets the profiler to replay the entire application.
+> - **--app-replay-match all**: Captures all instances of the application for replay.
+> - **--app-replay-buffer file**: Uses file buffering for application replay.
+> - **--app-replay-mode strict**: Enforces strict replay of the application.
+> - **--set detailed**: Enables detailed profiling.
+> - **--sampling-max-passes 1**: Limits the maximum number of sampling passes to one. This is crucial for reducing the profiling overhead and is particularly useful in scenarios where a lower overhead is desired or when profiling longer running kernels.
+> - **--check-exit-code no**: Ignores the application's exit code during profiling.
+>
+> ## Important Notes
+>
+> - **Running as Root**: Necessary for loading kernel modules required for CUDA profiling.
+> - **Avoiding Maven Surefire**: Due to stability issues with longer tests, the standalone JUnit console is preferred.
+> - **Profiler Output**: Save to `/root/profiler-output7.txt`, ensuring accessibility and writability.
+> - **Classpath Configuration**: Includes both the standalone JUnit console and the uber jar of the tests.
+> - **Test Selection and Modification**: Adjust the module and test name as needed; modify tests temporarily for profiling if required.
+>
+> ## Conclusion
+>
+> Using NCU with the standalone JUnit console and a shaded jar of the `platform-tests` module enables comprehensive CUDA profiling in Deeplearning4j. This setup overcomes the limitations of Maven Surefire and permissions issues, ensuring a robust and reliable performance analysis.

Subject: [PATCH 38/70] Finish fixing recurrent layer Finish adding
 abstractions for the keras model tests Add concrete implementation based on
 hand coded test of bidirectional. Add "well known directory" for keras
 save_models that java and python use. Add commented implementation of a base
 class for tests that use these modules. Rename things to be clearly tied to
 keras to avoid confusion with existing samediff tensorflow import tests

Subject: [PATCH 39/70] Add new ndarray logging to track changes to arrays over
 time. Adds array registry for tracking arrays in a central location mapped by
 id. Adds event instrumentation to different parts of the nd4j api to track
 data at different parts of an array's lifecyle.

+/**
+ * This interface represents the basic tree data structure
+ * <h1>Definition</h1>
+ * A tree data structure can be defined recursively (locally) as a collection of nodes
+ * (starting at a root node), where each node is a data structure consisting of a value,
+ * together with a list of references to nodes (the children), with the constraints that
+ * no reference is duplicated, and none points to the root
+ * <p>
+ * A tree is a (possibly non-linear) data structure made up of nodes or vertices and edges
+ * without having any cycle. The tree with no nodes is called the <b>null</b> or
+ * <b>empty</b> tree. A tree that is not empty consists of a root node and potentially many
+ * levels of additional nodes that form a hierarchy
+ * <h1>Terminology</h1>
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li><b>Node</b> - a single point of a tree</li>
+ *     <li><b>Edge</b> - line, which connects two distinct nodes</li>
+ *     <li><b>Root</b> - top node of the tree, which has no parent</li>
+ *     <li><b>Parent</b> - a node, other than the root, which is connected to other successor
+ *                         nodes</li>
+ *     <li><b>Child</b> - a node, other than the root, which is connected to predecessor</li>
+ *     <li><b>Leaf</b> - a node without children</li>
+ *     <li><b>Path</b> - a sequence of nodes and edges connecting a node with a
+ *                       descendant</li>
+ *     <li><b>Path Length</b> - number of nodes in the path - 1</li>
+ *     <li><b>Ancestor</b> - the top parent node of the path</li>
+ *     <li><b>Descendant</b> - the bottom child node of the path</li>
+ *     <li><b>Siblings</b> - nodes, which have the same parent</li>
+ *     <li><b>Subtree</b> - a node in a tree with all of its proper descendants, if any</li>
+ *     <li><b>Node Height</b> - the number of edges on the longest downward path between that
+ *                              node and a leaf</li>
+ *     <li><b>Tree Height</b> - the number of edges on the longest downward path between the
+ *                              root and a leaf (root height)</li>
+ *     <li><b>Depth (Level)</b> - the path length between the root and the current node</li>
+ *     <li><b>Ordered Tree</b> - tree in which nodes has the children ordered</li>
+ *     <li><b>Labeled Tree</b> - tree in which a label or value is associated with each node
+ *                               of the tree</li>
+ *     <li><b>Expression Tree</b> - tree which specifies the association of an expression�s
+ *                                  operands and its operators in a uniform way, regardless
+ *                                  of whether the association is required by the placement
+ *                                  of parentheses in the expression or by the precedence and
+ *                                  associativity rules for the operators involved</li>
+ *     <li><b>Branching Factor</b> - maximum number of children a node can have</li>
+ *     <li><b>Pre order</b> - a form of tree traversal, where the action is called firstly on
+ *                           the current node, and then the pre order function is called again
+ *                           recursively on each of the subtree from left to right</li>
+ *     <li><b>Post order</b> - a form of tree traversal, where the post order function is called
+ *                            recursively on each subtree from left to right and then the

Subject: [PATCH 51/70] Rewrite locallyconnected 2d. Update address sanitizer
 build to link correctly. Revert op.z() caching due to eager mode. Remove
 VEDA/VEDNN Convert all smart pointer databuffers to normal pointers. Due to
 external buffers they produce very inconnsistent results.

+# ND4J Log Analyzer
+
+This Java project is a log analyzer for ND4J, a scientific computing library for the JVM. The project uses Maven as its build tool.
+
+## Key Components
+
+### InterceptorUtils
+
+This class provides utility methods for logging operations and custom operations. It generates unique IDs for operations and arrays, and logs the inputs and outputs of operations. It also provides a method to get a stack trace.
+
+### OpLogEvent
+
+This class represents a log event for an operation. It contains the operation name, inputs, outputs, and a stack trace.
+
+### Nd4jInterceptor
+
+This class is the main entry point for the application. It uses the Byte Buddy library to intercept calls to certain classes and methods in the ND4J library. It sets up several transformers to intercept calls to `MultiLayerNetwork`, `Layer`, and `GraphVertex` classes.
+
+## Functionality
+
+The project intercepts calls to certain ND4J operations, logs the inputs and outputs of these operations, and then allows the operations to proceed. This can be useful for debugging and performance analysis.
+
+The intercepted classes include:
+
+- `MultiLayerNetwork`: A class from the DeepLearning4j library that represents a multi-layer neural network.
+- `Layer`: A class from the DeepLearning4j library that represents a layer in a neural network.
+- `GraphVertex`: A class from the DeepLearning4j library that represents a vertex in a computation graph.
+
+The project uses the Byte Buddy library to perform the method interception. Byte Buddy is a code generation and manipulation library for Java.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use this project, you would typically include it as a Java agent when running your application. The agent will then intercept calls to the specified ND4J operations and log them.

 # ND4J Log Analyzer
 
-This Java project is a log analyzer for ND4J, a scientific computing library for the JVM. The project uses Maven as its build tool.
+## Overview
 
-## Key Components
+ND4J Log Analyzer is a Java agent designed to record ND4J operation executions in an H2 database and index a specified DeepLearning4J codebase. This tool is crucial for identifying regressions between different versions of DeepLearning4J by analyzing the execution patterns and performance metrics of ND4J operations.
 
-### InterceptorUtils
+## Features
 
-This class provides utility methods for logging operations and custom operations. It generates unique IDs for operations and arrays, and logs the inputs and outputs of operations. It also provides a method to get a stack trace.
+- Records ND4J operation executions in real-time
+- Stores execution data in an H2 database for efficient querying
+- Indexes the specified DeepLearning4J codebase for reference
+- Can be injected into a running DeepLearning4J application as a Java agent
+- Provides methods for querying and analyzing recorded operations
+- Includes a StackTraceCodeFinder utility for locating source code lines
+- Features a JsonComparisonReport tool for comparing operation logs between different runs or versions
+- Offers a JsonReport utility for exporting operation logs to JSON format
 
-### OpLogEvent
+## Prerequisites
 
-This class represents a log event for an operation. It contains the operation name, inputs, outputs, and a stack trace.
+- Java 8 or higher
+- Maven 3.x
+- Access to the DeepLearning4J codebase you want to analyze
 
-### Nd4jInterceptor
+## Installation
 
-This class is the main entry point for the application. It uses the Byte Buddy library to intercept calls to certain classes and methods in the ND4J library. It sets up several transformers to intercept calls to `MultiLayerNetwork`, `Layer`, and `GraphVertex` classes.
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```
+   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/nd4j-log-analyzer.git
+   ```
 
-## Functionality
+2. Navigate to the project directory:
+   ```
+   cd nd4j-log-analyzer
+   ```
 
-The project intercepts calls to certain ND4J operations, logs the inputs and outputs of these operations, and then allows the operations to proceed. This can be useful for debugging and performance analysis.
+3. Build the project using Maven:
+   ```
+   mvn clean package
+   ```
 
-The intercepted classes include:
+## Usage
 
-- `MultiLayerNetwork`: A class from the DeepLearning4j library that represents a multi-layer neural network.
-- `Layer`: A class from the DeepLearning4j library that represents a layer in a neural network.
-- `GraphVertex`: A class from the DeepLearning4j library that represents a vertex in a computation graph.
+To use the ND4J Log Analyzer, you need to inject it as a Java agent into your DeepLearning4J application. Use the following VM arguments when running your Java application:
 
-The project uses the Byte Buddy library to perform the method interception. Byte Buddy is a code generation and manipulation library for Java.
+```
+-DsourceCodeIndexerPath=/path/to/your/deeplearning4j/codebase -javaagent:/path/to/nd4j-log-analyzer-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
 
-## Usage
+Example:
+```
+-DsourceCodeIndexerPath=/home/user/Documents/GitHub/deeplearning4j/ -javaagent:/home/user/Documents/GitHub/deeplearning4j/contrib/nd4j-log-analyzer/nd4j-log-analyzer/target/nd4j-log-analyzer-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
+
+Make sure to replace the paths with the appropriate locations on your system.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The agent uses two main configuration options:
+
+1. `sourceCodeIndexerPath`: The path to the DeepLearning4J codebase you want to index.
+2. `javaagent`: The path to the compiled ND4J Log Analyzer JAR file.
+
+## Database Structure
+
+The H2 database is automatically created and managed by the agent. It contains two main tables:
+
+1. `OpLogEvent`: Stores information about ND4J operation executions.
+    - Columns: id, opName, inputs, outputs, stackTrace, sourceCodeLine
+
+2. `SourceCodeLine`: Stores indexed source code information (created only if `sourceCodeIndexerPath` is provided).
+    - Columns: id, packageName, className, lineNumber, line, fileName, lastUpdated
+
+## Data Storage
+
+- Operation logs are stored in the `OpLogEvent` table.
+- Each operation execution is recorded with its name, inputs, outputs, stack trace, and corresponding source code line.
+- Inputs and outputs are stored as arrays of strings.
+- The source code indexer (if enabled) stores relevant code lines in the `SourceCodeLine` table.
+
+## StackTraceCodeFinder Utility
+
+The ND4J Log Analyzer includes a StackTraceCodeFinder utility that helps locate the relevant source code lines for recorded operations. Key features include:
+
+- Resolves the source file path for a given fully qualified class name
+- Retrieves the specific line of code from a stack trace element
+- Caches file paths for improved performance
+- Skips certain packages to focus on relevant code (configurable skip patterns)
+- Searches for source roots within the specified directory
+
+### Usage of StackTraceCodeFinder
+
+```java
+String rootDirectory = "/path/to/your/deeplearning4j/codebase";
+StackTraceElement[] stackTrace = // ... obtain stack trace
+String sourceCodeLine = StackTraceCodeFinder.getFirstLineOfCode(rootDirectory, stackTrace);
+```
+
+This utility is used internally by the Log Analyzer to associate recorded operations with their corresponding source code lines.
+
+## JsonComparisonReport Utility
+
+The JsonComparisonReport is a powerful tool for comparing operation logs between different runs or versions of your DeepLearning4J application. It helps identify differences in ND4J operations, which is crucial for detecting regressions or unexpected changes in behavior.
+
+Key features of the JsonComparisonReport include:
+
+- Compares operation logs stored in JSON format from two different directories
+- Supports multiple epsilon values for floating-point comparisons
+- Generates detailed reports of differences found between operation logs
+- Identifies the earliest difference in the execution flow
+- Filters differences based on a specified epsilon threshold
+
+### Usage of JsonComparisonReport
+
+To use the JsonComparisonReport, run it as a standalone Java application:
+
+```
+java org.nd4j.interceptor.data.JsonComparisonReport <directory1> <directory2>
+```
+
+Where:
+- `<directory1>` is the path to the first set of JSON log files
+- `<directory2>` is the path to the second set of JSON log files to compare against
+
+The tool will generate two types of reports for each epsilon value defined in `InterceptorEnvironment.EPSILONS`:
+
+1. `comparison_report_<epsilon>.json`: A detailed report of all differences found
+2. `earliest_difference_<epsilon>.json`: Information about the first difference encountered in the execution flow
+
+These reports can be used to identify and analyze discrepancies between different runs or versions of your DeepLearning4J application.
+
+## JsonReport Utility
+
+The JsonReport is a utility tool that generates JSON files for each unique operation name from the recorded ND4J operations. This tool is useful for exporting the collected data in a format that's easy to analyze or compare using other tools.
+
+Key features of the JsonReport include:
+
+- Generates a separate JSON file for each unique operation name
+- Groups operation log events by source code line
+- Uses a custom ObjectMapper for proper serialization of JSON arrays
+- Creates a new directory for storing the generated JSON reports
+
+### Usage of JsonReport
+
+To use the JsonReport, run it as a standalone Java application:
+
+```
+java org.nd4j.interceptor.data.JsonReport <path_to_oplog.db>
+```
+
+Where:
+- `<path_to_oplog.db>` is the path to the H2 database file containing the recorded operations
+
+The tool will create a new directory called "jsonReports" (or clear it if it already exists) and generate JSON files for each unique operation name found in the database.
+
+### Output
+
+For each unique operation name, a JSON file will be created in the "jsonReports" directory. The file name will be `<operation_name>.json`. Each file contains:
+
+- Grouped operation log events by source code line
+- Detailed information about each operation execution, including inputs, outputs, and stack traces
+
+These JSON files can be used for further analysis, comparison between different runs, or as input for other tools like the JsonComparisonReport.
+
+## Workflow for Analyzing ND4J Operations
+
+1. Run your DeepLearning4J application with the ND4J Log Analyzer agent to collect operation data.
+2. Use the JsonReport utility to export the collected data to JSON files:
+   ```
+   java org.nd4j.interceptor.data.JsonReport path/to/your/oplog.db
+   ```
+3. If you want to compare two different runs or versions:
+   a. Generate JSON reports for both runs using JsonReport
+   b. Use the JsonComparisonReport to compare the generated JSON files:
+      ```
+      java org.nd4j.interceptor.data.JsonComparisonReport path/to/jsonReports1 path/to/jsonReports2
+      ```
+4. Analyze the comparison reports to identify differences or potential regressions in ND4J operations.
+
+## Analyzing Results
+
+After running your DeepLearning4J application with the agent, you can query the H2 database to analyze the recorded operations. The `InterceptorPersistence` class provides several methods for data analysis:
+
+1. Get all unique operation names:
+   ```java
+   Set<String> uniqueOpNames = InterceptorPersistence.getUniqueOpNames(filePath);
+   ```
+
+2. Filter operations by name:
+   ```java
+   List<OpLogEvent> filteredEvents = InterceptorPersistence.filterByOpName(filePath, opName);
+   ```
+
+3. Group operations by source code line:
+   ```java
+   Map<String, List<OpLogEvent>> groupedEvents = InterceptorPersistence.groupedByCodeSortedByEventId(logEvents);
+   ```
+
+You can also use your preferred SQL client or the H2 Console to connect to the database and run custom queries.
+
+For comparing results between different runs or versions, use the JsonComparisonReport utility as described above.
+
+For exporting the recorded operations to JSON format for further analysis or comparison, use the JsonReport utility as described in the previous section.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- If the agent fails to attach, ensure that you have the correct paths specified in the VM arguments.
+- Check the console output for any error messages from the agent.
+- Verify that you have write permissions in the directory where the H2 database is being created.
+- If tables are not created properly, you can use the `InterceptorPersistence.listTables()` method to check the existing tables in the database.
+- If source code lines are not being found, check that the `sourceCodeIndexerPath` is correct and that the StackTraceCodeFinder can access the necessary files.
+- When using the JsonComparisonReport, ensure that the JSON log files are in the correct format and located in the specified directories.
+- When using the JsonReport, ensure that the path to the oplog.db file is correct and that you have write permissions in the directory where the JSON files will be created.
