Text files with new variable definitions, usually for CC and CFLAGS, Makefiles can be tweaked to configure the compiler, however they alsoĬan be configured in a more modular manner using override files thatĪllow for more convenient testing at different optimization levels, orĪll C compiler override files reside in the override/cc directory in Your system or compiler, this may be unsuitable. However, for actually evaluating the performance of This is for testing purposes, toĮnsure that a benchmark can build and run properly on the system beforeįurther evaluation. Optimizing benchmarksĪll makefiles in this package by default attempt to build a benchmark with Hpux-mp.mk in the overrides/stream directory, respectively. Ov=hpux-mp to the make command, these correspond to hpux.mk and For example,īuilding the STREAM benchmark under HP-UX requires appending ov=hpux or Specified by setting the ov parameter to the name of a valid overrideįile in the overrides/ directory without extension. Operating systems and compiler configurations, these overrides can be Some benchmarks also may require special accomodations to build on certain Parameters passed to them in order to run properly. These benchmarks are built without any optimizations for testing purposes.īenchmarks can then be run by issuing make run, though they may need Quickly built by issuing the make command in that directory. Building, configuring and running benchmarksĮach benchmark in this package resides in its own directory and can be Nonetheless, these programs are still easy and useful tools for evaluatingĬompilers and giving you a rough idea of how your system performs and Tell you as much about your system's memory, disk, or I/O capabilitiesĪmong other critical architectural features that may allow it to pullĪhead of supposedly faster systems in many use cases. Included in this package are single-threaded and very CPU-focused, and won't Partial picture of your system's overall capabilities. Programs that can also be used as benchmarks.Īll programs presented in this package are tested with GCC and HP C inĪNSI mode to ensure they function as expected.Īlways remember that a benchmark is really only accurate for evaluatingĪ system's performance on that very specific set of operations which don'tĪlways reflect your system's typical workload, and thus only paints a Number of classic industry standard benchmarks as well as some more practical Useful for benchmarking a wide variety of systems and compilers, including a This repository packages a selection of ANSI (and some K&R) C program sources
