HPC Challenge

HPC Challenge (HPCC) is a cluster-focused benchmark consisting of the HPL Linpack TPP benchmark, DGEMM, STREAM, PTRANS, RandomAccess, FFT, and communication bandwidth and latency. This HPC Challenge test profile attempts to ship with standard yet versatile configuration/input files though they can be modified.

Supported install-time optional variables include $MPI_PATH, $MPI_INCLUDE, $MPI_CC, $MPI_LIBS, $LA_PATH, $LA_INCLUDE, $LA_LIBS, $CFLAGS, $LD_FLAGS, and $MPI_LD

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