Description

HPCSCAN is an HPC Test Cases Suite for Benchmarking Algorithms and Computing Platforms

Set up your environment

You just need a C++ compiler with MPI & OpenMP

Compile

Go to ./build, and use the command "make"

The Makefile adapts to the machine you are connected

Have a look in the Makefile if you need to add a new machine

By default, hpcscan is compiled in single in precision

To compile in double precision "make precision=double"

Executable is ./bin/hpcscan

Validate

To check good the behavior of hpcscan

Go to ./script

And "sh runValidationTests.sh"

This script runs a set a light test cases within a short time (even on a laptop)

You should get in the ouptput report (displayed on the terminal)

All tests marked as PASSED

and zero test marked as FAILED

Check the summary at the end of report to have a quick look on this

Run a specific test case

All parameters are placed on the command line

To get help on the parameters

./bin/hpcscan -h

Example to run the Memory test case

mpirun -n 1 ./bin/hpcscan -testCase Memory

Run performance test cases

These tests are intended to measure various bandwidths

They are intensive tests that require to run on HPC platforms

Performance measurements and scripts to reproduce results can be found in ./doc/TestCases/TestCases.pdf

HAVE FUN!
