The HammerBlade Benchmark Suite

HammerBench is a collection of parallel benchmarks ported for HammerBlade RISC-V Manycore.

How to Use This Repository

Install

This repository is meant to be cloned into bsg_replicant which is meant to be cloned into bsg_bladerunner.

For initial setup do the following:

1. Clone bsg_bladerunner and follow the setup instructions.
2. From bsg_bladerunner, cd bsg_replicant/examples; git clone git@github.com:bespoke-silicon-group/hb_hammerbench

Running a benchmark

• apps/ directory contains all the benchmarks.
• Go into one of the benchmarks (apps/sgemm), and run make generate. This will generate some launch directories (e.g. N_512__NITER_2).
• From the launch directory, run make profile.log. This will launch the simulation and generate profiling data.

Downloading sparse graph datasets

• apps/graph_data contains README on how to download and extract sparse graphs (.mtx).
• Currently, bfs, pagerank, and spgemm use these sparse graphs.
• These benchmarks have READMEs and makefile targets on how to preprocess the sparse graph.
