memcpy-bench

Introduction

This project provides a benchmark suite for evaluating different memory copy strategies under varying conditions.

Requirements

• Linux OS
• Compiler: GCC or Clang with C17 support (successfully tested on C99)
• Build system: make
• Hardware: It should run on most machines after adjusting -march=raptorlake and -mtune=raptorlake inside Makefiles. This benchmark was done for 2 platforms: raptor lake and sapphire rapids, as I wanted to test AVX512 and other extensions. You can use the [Intel Software Development Emulator], if you just want to see if they work.

Project Structure

• implementations/: Contains different memcpy implementations
• tests/: Includes benchmarking tests for performance measurement and self-test

Build

To build memcpy-bench use make in the main directory or do it separately in subdirectories.

Run

To run memcpy-bench use make run in the main directory or use make or make build and then make run (main benchmark) or make runt (self_tests) tests/ or navigate to subdirectories and do it separately.
