SPEComp: A New Benchmark Suite for Measuring Parallel Computer Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new benchmark suite for parallel computers. SPEComp targets mid-size parallel servers. It includes a number of science/engineering and data processing applications. Parallelism is expressed in the OpenMP API. The suite includes two data sets, Medium and Large, of approximately 1.6 and 4 GB in size. Our overview also describes the organization developing SPEComp, issues in creating OpenMP parallel benchmarks, the benchmarking methodology underlying SPEComp, and basic performance characteristics.

Unstructured Adaptive (UA) NAS Parallel Benchmark, Version 1.0
We present a complete specification of a new benchmark for measuring the performance of modern computer systems when solving scientific problems featuring irregular, dynamic memory accesses. It complements the existing NAS Parallel Benchmark suite. The benchmark involves the solution of a stylized heat transfer problem in a cubic domain, discretized on an adaptively refined, unstructured mesh.
متن کاملlmbench3: measuring scalability
lmbench3 extends the lmbench2 system to measure a system’s performance under scalable load to make it possible to assess parallel and distributed computer performance with the same power and flexibility that lmbench2 brought to uni-processor performance analysis. There is a new timing harness, benchmp, designed to measure performance at specific levels of parallel (simultaneous) load, and most ...
متن کاملReflections in the Creation of a Real-Time Parallel Benchmark Suite
Standard benchmark suites are a popular way to measure and compare computers performance. The Honeywell Technology Center has developed two benchmarking suites for parallel computers, the C3I Parallel Benchmark Suite (C3IPBS)1 and more recently, the Real Time Parallel Benchmark Suite (RTPBS)2. The C3IPB suite was similar to other benchmarks but focused on a new domain. The development of the re...
متن کاملBenchmarking Modern Multiprocessors
Benchmarking has become one of the most important methods for quantitative performance evaluation of processor and computer system designs. Benchmarking of modern multiprocessors such as chip multiprocessors is challenging because of their application domain, scalability and parallelism requirements. In my thesis, I have developed a methodology to design effective benchmark suites and demonstra...
متن کاملPerformance Coupling: Case Studies for Improving the Performance of Scientific Applications
Traditional performance optimization techniques have focused on nding the kernel in an application that is the most time consuming and attempting to optimize it. In this paper we focus on an optimization technique with a more global perspective of the application. In particular, we present a methodology for measuring the interaction, or coupling, between kernels within an application and descri...
