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.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (HPC Challenge 1.5.0 - Test / Class: G-HPL) has an average run-time of 1 hour, 56 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.

Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.5%.
