Hardware Selection Benchmarks
What benchmarks should we add next to FLOPx?
What are your go to benchmarks when selecting hardware? Both for GPU and CPU workloads?
We have a few changes we’d still like to make to FLOPx, our benchmark data platform, but I’d like to start extending it to include other benchmarks too. To have data that goes beyond what we have used already to serve our existing clients (which is very financial services focused).
This probably means open source benchmarks but I’m open to including proprietary/ closed source benchmarks provided they can be licensed and meet our criteria on transparency and repeatability.
What else would you like to see? The QuantLib test suite? Something based on OpenFOAM (is there a standardised repeatable benchmark already out there rather than just running one of the samples?).
I’ve been largely thinking of HPC related use cases, but I guess this is more widely applicable? Should we include some basics like CoreMark?
Friday afternoon musings on a post card please 😄
