What is BenchIT

From BenchIT-Wiki

BenchIT is a freely available framework for performance-measurements and analysis of UNIX based HPC systems.

To achive the greatest possible compatibility we only rely on a POSIX-compliant shell and a C-compiler for basic functionality of BenchIT.

Besides the lowlevel Command Line Interface, there is the Java-based BenchIT-GUI available. This GUI offers you a very convenient way to run local or remote measurements and to evaluate your results. For this reason, we recommend a Java Runtime Environment for most users.

Because we aim at running massively parallel architectures, an MPI environment and a batch system as well as a Fortran compiler would be very useful too.

If you don't use the BenchIT-GUI and still want to view your results as a graphic, you need either gnuplot and an eps capable viewer or you can use our BenchIT-Website.
