Description of the initial accelerator benchmark suite

چکیده
The work produced within this task is an extension of the UEABS (Unified European Applications Benchmark Suite) for accelerators. As a first version of the extension, this document will present a full definition of a suite for accelerators. This will cover each code, presenting the code in itself as well as the test cases defined for the benchmarks and the problems that could occur during the next months. As the UEABS, this suite aims to present results for many scientific fields that can use HPC accelerated resources. Hence, it will help the European scientific communities to make a decision in terms of infrastructures they could buy in a near future. We focus on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and NVidia GPU cards for benchmarking as they are the two most important accelerated resources available at the moment. The following table lists the codes that will be presented in the next sections as well as their implementations available. It should be noted that OpenMP can be used with the Intel Xeon Phi architecture while CUDA is used for NVidia GPU cards. OpenCL is a third alternative that can be used on both architectures. The chosen codes are all part of the UEAS suite excepted PFARM which comes from PRACE-2IP and SHOC which is a synthetic benchmark suite for accelerators.

Detailed Performance Evaluation of Data-Parallel Workloads on the DySER Prototype System
With the end of classic Denard scaling, new improvements to microarchitecture are needed in order to maintain performance while continuing to decrease power consumption. An emerging trend has put focus on hardware accelerators as a means of increasing efficiency. One such accelerator, the Dynamically Specialized Execution Resource block accelerator (DySER), utilizes a highly-flexible functional...
متن کاملThe Genesis distributed memory benchmarks
The genesis distributed-memory benchmarks represent a signiicant step forward in the evaluation of distributed-memory MIMD systems. The initial version of this benchmark suite was augmented and modiied in order to evaluate the suprenum computer. This augmented suite has now been further modiied to allow the benchmarks to be run on several important distributed systems without further code modii...

Time for a TCP Benchmark Suite?
This paper proposes that the networking community establish a TCP benchmark suite. We summarize the challenges in designing a benchmark suite, give a straw man proposal and list some findings with our benchmark. I. MOTIVATION Whenever there are design alternatives and no clear winners, Computer Scientists have always resorted to benchmarks. This is the case with the Computer Architecture commun...
