Abstract:
HPC-Bench is a general purpose tool to optimize benchmarking workflow for high performance computing (HPC) to aid in the efficient evaluation of performance using multiple applications on an HPC machine with only a "click of a button". HPC-Bench allows multiple applications written in different languages, multiple parallel versions, multiple numbers of processes/threads to be evaluated. Performance results are put into a database, which is then queried for the desired performance data, and then the R statistical software package is used to generate the desired graphs and tables. The use of HPC-Bench is illustrated with complex applications that were run on the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center's (NERSC) Edison Cray XC30 HPC computer.
