[benchmarks] Add a container for ALPBench

rouvoy commented 8 years ago

Media applications are important for general-purpose processors, but are becoming increasingly complex with high performance demands. Future processors can potentially meet these demands by exploiting various levels of parallelism in these applications.

ALPBench consists of a set of parallelized complex media applications gathered from various sources, and modified to expose thread-level and data-level parallelism. The applications are:

SpeechRec: Speech recognition, derived from CMU Sphinx 3.3
FaceRec: Face recognition, derived from CSU Face Recogniser
RayTrace: Ray Tracer, same as Tachyon Retracer
MPGenc: MPEG-2 encode, derived from MSSG MPEG-2 encoder
MPGdec: MPEG-2 decode, derived from MSSG MPEG-2 decoder
Key Features
Multithreaded with POSIX threads
128-bit SSE2 media instructions
Some algorithmic enhancements
Paper analyzing parallelism and performance
Platforms

Multithreaded versions can be used on any system that supports POSIX threads. SSE2 instructions can be used on Intel processors supporting SSE2 instructions.

Hello, to this benchmark i'm done with MPGenc MPGdec SpeechRec and the simplest build of FaceRec

But There is a lot of linux compilation choice for Tachyon/RayTrace

So wich ones, you need ?

mcolmant commented 8 years ago

You can try to compile these ones:

linux-mpi, linux-64-thr, linux-thr
linux, linux-64
linux-mpi-thr

If you can have only one compiled benchmark at a time, choose only linux-64.
