Re: simplest benchmark for parallel machine

i am looking (or thinking to create) for a very simple benchmark for
parallel machine, not necessarily high performance computing, but
kernels such as sorting / multiplication / linear algegraic operations.

Does anyone propose (hopefully simple) some benchmarks, in any format?

BTW, wondering what is the simplest benchmarks for multiprocessors
system...

Thankyou for any comment

Unless you first decide what you want to measure, almost any parallel program can be used as a benchmark. A few examples:


PARKBENCH (various parallel kernels):
http://www.netlib.org/parkbench/
http://www.top500.org/reports/1994/benrep3/benrep3.html

NAS Parallel Benchmarks (wide range of parallel benchmarks):
http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Software/NPB/

Stream (shared memory latency and bandwidth):
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/

SKAMPI (MPI latency/bandwidth):
http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/~skampi/

Intel MPI Benchmarks:

SPEC OMP (OpenMP shared memory benchmark):

And there are others.
