About BenchIT
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. 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. In order to view your results as a graphic, you need either gnuplot and an eps capable viewer or you can use our BenchIT-Website.
Documentation
For further information and help please look into our Documentation.
Basically, BenchIT consists of three parts:
- containing everything needed to setup BenchIT on your system and do measurements with the included BenchIT-Kernels from the command line
- makes using BenchIT easier, lets you do measurements, view and compare your results more comfortable than from command line, written in Java
- is an easy to use frontend to view your results and those of others for comparison
Practical Usage of BenchIT
Since 2003, there is a weekly lecture based on BenchIT which is named LARS
LOCALDEFS
We try to maintain an up-to-date list of all our HPC's in form of their LOCALDEFS
Stable Release
Whenever BenchIT has a new stable release - all related data can be accessed from here.
