Download Benchmarks

A package with benchmarks is available at sniper-benchmarks.tbz. These have been slightly adapted to:

• Build using the compilation switches that Sniper requires (e.g. -mno-sse4), see Porting applications to Sniper.
• Mark the start and end of the parallel section (region of interest, ROI), see Simulator hooks.
• Runner scripts to automatically run a benchmark in Sniper with the right command-line options for a predefined collection of input sets

This distribution currently contains the following benchmark suites:

• SPLASH-2

Usage example:

• wget http://snipersim.org/packages/sniper-benchmarks.tbz
• tar xjf sniper-benchmarks.tbz
• cd benchmarks
• export GRAPHITE_ROOT=/path/to/sniper
• export BENCHMARKS_ROOT=$(pwd)
• make
• ./run-sniper -p splash2-fft -i test -n 4 -c gainestown
