sst-benchmarks

This repository contains benchmarks and related scripts and tools for studying SST-Core's performance and scalability. Learn more about SST here.

Currently, it includes:

• Benchmarks
• Containers
• A memory model

The benchmarks (found in their respective directories):

• pingpong - simulates messages bouncing back-and-forth in one or two dimensions.
• gameoflife - an SST-based implementation of Conway's Game of Life.
• phold - a benchmark widely used to assess the scalability and performance of parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) systems.

Containers

the sst-containers directory contains a container file for running SST-core on either a desktop or a Cray EX supercomputer. It also provides documentation on how to build and deploy the container.

Memory Model

The memoryModel directory includes a Jupyter notebook with a script that can be used to estimate SST core's memory usage and experiment with ideas on how to reduce its memory footprint.
