Benchpark is an open collaborative repository for reproducible specifications of HPC benchmarks. Benchpark enables cross-site collaboration on benchmarking by providing a mechanism for sharing reproducible, working specifications for the following:
- System Specifications (benchmark and experiment agnostic)
- Hardware information
- System software environment information (available compilers, MPI)
- Scheduler and launcher
- Benchmark Specifications (system and experiment agnostic)
- Experiment Specifications (specific benchmark experiment on a system specification)
- Programming model (e.g., OpenMP, CUDA, ROCm) for the benchmark on a given system
- Parameters for individual runs in a study
Benchpark uses the following open source projects for specifying configurations:
Benchpark is an open source project. Questions, discussion,and contributions of new specifications as well as updates and improvements to existing specifications are welcome.
We use github discussions for Q&A and discussion.
To contribute to Benchpark, please open a pull request to the develop branch. Your PR must pass Benchpark's unit tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant.
Many thanks to Benchpark's contributors.
