FinanceBench

FinanceBench is a collection of financial program benchmarks with support for benchmarking on the GPU via OpenCL and CPU benchmarking with OpenMP. The FinanceBench test cases are focused on Black-Sholes-Merton Process with Analytic European Option engine, QMC (Sobol) Monte-Carlo method (Equity Option Example), Bonds Fixed-rate bond with flat forward curve, and Repo Securities repurchase agreement. FinanceBench was originally written by the Cavazos Lab at University of Delaware.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark financebench.

Drop Monte Carlo OpenMP as numbers seem to be too flakey.

pts/financebench-1.1.0   [View Source]   Wed, 20 Jan 2021 11:43:13 GMT
Update test profile, include CPU OpenMP tests too.

pts/financebench-1.0.0   [View Source]   Mon, 06 Jun 2016 18:09:53 GMT
Initial commit of FinanceBench as some more OpenCL coverage

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

FinanceBench 2016-07-25

Benchmark: Bonds OpenMP

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 874 public results since 20 January 2021 with the latest data as of 23 November 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (FinanceBench 2016-07-25 - Benchmark: Bonds OpenMP) has an average run-time of 6 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Does It Scale Well With Increasing Cores?

No, based on the automated analysis of the collected public benchmark data, this test / test settings does not generally scale well with increasing CPU core counts. Data based on publicly available results for this test / test settings, separated by vendor, result divided by the reference CPU clock speed, grouped by matching physical CPU core count, and normalized against the smallest core count tested from each vendor for each CPU having a sufficient number of test samples and statistically significant data.
