Cluster Benchmarking Packages
From Cluster Documentation Project
Here are some links to benchmarks:
Benchmark Suites
- HPCC Challange Benchmark - uses seven tests to measure several different performance parameters.
- Beowulf Perforamnce Suite (BPS) - Example results are here.
- Cluster Monkey Benchmark Project - just started. It is based on the BPS.
- Intel MPI Benchmarks - freely available.
- perfbase - a set of front end tools using a PostgreSQL database as backend, which together form a system for the management and analysis of the output of tests and experiments.
- SKaMPI - a suite of tests designed to measure the performance of MPI.
File Systems I/O
- GPFS vs. NFS evaluation
- EXT3, EXT3, Reiser, JFS, XFS benchmarks Part 1 and Part 2
- Cluster Monkey Series on Parallel File System Benchmarking
- nfs-test is a program that tries a bunch of different rsizes, wsizes, protocols (tcp vs udp) and NFS versions to optimize performance
- IOZONE Filesystem Benchmark
