Objectives
- Measure the performance of 3 different computers using one Benchmark (set of programs)
Activity
Using the benchmark
MiBench
to measure the performance of 3 different computers. MiBench consists of 6 sets of programs: automotive, consumer, network, office, security, telecomm. Choose a subset of at least 3 categories, run the programs on 3 different computers and collect a relevant performance measure. Make a comparison between the 3 computers. Do not forget:
- Identify the 3 computers with their architectural characteristics
- Identify the categories / programs used
- Identify the performance measure used
- Condense the performance measurement of the various programs into one. How to do this?
- The downloadable files, as always, will be in my IC3 homedir (~ rodolfo / mc723 / mibench). You will probably have to copy them to some temporary place.
Remarks:
- There are at least 3 different types of computers in IC3. If you use another computer (outside of IC3), you can earn bonuses.
- A few MiBench programs are no longer compile directly with compilation instructions, as in the case of ghostscript. In case of compilation problems, you can delete the program from the category (if there is still a reasonable number of programs) or change the category.
Delivery
Submit a report for at most
2 pages, describing the activity performed, the input files and the computers used. The report must contain a table and / or graph with the performance comparison. Analyze and comment on the result.
