Benchmarking MPI One-sided Communication with SKaMPI-5

  • Conference paper
High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering’ 05

Summary

SKaMPI is now an established benchmark for MPI implementations. Two important goals of the development of version 5 of SKaMPI were the extension of the benchmark to cover more functionality of MPI, and a redesign of the benchmark llowing it to be extended more easily (thus matching requests from SKaMPI users). In the present paper we give an overview of the extension of SKaMPI-5 for the evaluation of one-sided communication and present a few selected results of benchmark runs, giving an impression of the breadth and depth of SKaMPI-5.

A look at the source code, which is available under the GPL, reveals that it was extremely easily to extend the SKaMPI with benchmarks for one-sided communication using the infrastructure of version 5.
