Mstack: A Lightweight Cross-Platform Benchmark for Evaluating Co-Processing Technologies

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA476689 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Co-processing technologies are currently increasing in performance at a rate superior to Moore s law, making porting applications to them desirable. However, with so many different competing co-processing technologies, the need for a simple, lightweight cross-platform benchmark has become apparent. To fill this need, we have devised Mstack, a lightweight benchmark designed to be run on a number of different classes of co-processors. We have implemented or are in the process of implementing Mstack on a variety of different co-processor architectures on field programmable gate arrays FPGAs using Mitrion-C and Dime C, graphical processing
