Open Source Fortran Benchmark Software

Ichnaea is a set of tools that aid in collecting and tracking parameters and timings for parallel applications. The Performance Modelling Timing Module, PMTM, is a library that wraps system timing calls to abstract these from code developers and aid portability. It also has functionality to store parameters and print those, along with the timing information to a comma separated variable file. The Performance Modelling Analysis Tool, PMAT, is coming soon. This is able to read in and store the outputs from PMTM and produce some graphs based on user-defined criteria. Documentation found in the Wiki. As of March 2015, main development has been switched to the UK Mini-Application Consortium Github page. Work on PMTM from the unreleased version 2.6.0 can be found here: https://github.com/UK-MAC/PMTM Work on PMAT version 3 will be commencing shortly here: https://github.com/UK-MAC/PMAT Tarballs of releases will continue to be available here.

A collection of performance analysis software that can assist with a variety of techniques useful for application software optimization and benchmarking. The current release provides support for analysis with hardware performance counters on Linux.

sparse linear algebra library, with emphasis on preconditioned Krylov subspace methods for the solution of linear systems of equations

progrep is a command-line tool (Linux) to show live progress report, status & stats of a running simulation or compute job that executes a given number of iterations. It shows % completed, time remaining, time elapsed, number of threads, MPI_Rank(if any), CPU usage & speed (FPS). The FPS measures may be used in benchmarking, e.g. while optimizing HPC algorithms for performance. progrep supports both single-threaded and parallel (multicore/multinode - e.g. OpenMP/MPI) jobs. progrep can also report for jobs running on remote hosts, e.g. jobs running on Linux Clusters. progrep works in client-server model. The server can be installed in your simulation source code with only 4 extra lines (API). When the progrep command is invoked, it queries this server as a client. progrep does not interfere with or slow down your simulation when not invoked. Even when invoked, the overhead is insignificant. Out of the box, the API works with Fortran/C/C++ code. See Wiki/README for details.
