sudhan345/benchmarks repository overview

⁠Benchmarks Included

• PARSEC⁠

⁠PARSEC

This repository incldues sources and patches for building 32-bit of PARSEC-3.0 benchmarks on a 64 bit system for micro-architectural simulations. Simulation inputs are not included in this repository and must be downloaded.

⁠Simulation Inputs

Tar archive containing simulation inputs for PARSEC-3.0 is available here⁠. This tar archive does not contain simulation inputs for facesim. Those can be extracted from PARSEC-2.1 simulation inputs archive available here⁠.

⁠Building 32-bit binaries on 64-bit systems

These instruction have been tested on 64-bit Debian Squeeze systems.

• Install debian packages

apt-get install make autoconf gcc-multilib g++-multilib
apt-get install pkg-config gettext
apt-get install ia32-libs-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev

• Make a copy of /bin/uname

mv /bin/uname /bin/uname.orig

• Make a wrapper shell script to make uname return i686 instaed of x86_64. Create a new file /bin/uname with the following contents:

!/bin/sh
/bin/uname.orig $* | sed 's/x86_64/i686/g'

• Add execute permissions to /bin/uname

chmod a+x uname

• Change the environment variable HOSTTYPE to i386

export HOSTTYPE=i386

• Now PARSEC and SPLASH2X applications can be build using parsecmgmt tools

./bin/parsecmgmt -a build -p parsec
./bin/parsecmgmt -a build -p splash2x

Following applications cannot be build:

• splash2x.ocean_ncp
• splash2x.volrend

⁠Docker Builds

A docker file is also provided in repository for building these benchmarks. Automated docker builds are availabe here⁠
