Usage - Commands

Benchpress provides a set of binaries for running and visualize the suite file The Suite File.

bp-run

After you have created a benchmark suite file (see. The Suite File), you can then use bp-run to execute the suite:

usage: run.py [-h] [--nruns NRUNS] [--warmup] [--dirty] [--tag TAG] [--slurm]
              [--partition PARTITION] [--multi-jobs] [--nice NICE]
              suite

Runs a benchmark suite and stores the results in a JSON-file.

positional arguments:
  suite                 Path to the JSON file where the benchmark results will
                        be read and written. If the file exist, the benchmark
                        will resume.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --nruns NRUNS         How many times should each command run.
  --warmup              Execute one warm up run, before the measured runs
  --dirty               Do no clean up.
  --tag TAG             Assign a tag to the result.

SLURM Queuing System:
  --slurm               Use the SLURM queuing system.
  --partition PARTITION
                        Submit to a specific SLURM partition.
  --multi-jobs          Submit 'nruns' SLURM jobs instead of one job with
                        'nruns' number of runs.
  --nice NICE           The scheduling priority - range is from -10000
                        (highest priority) to 10000 (lowest priority) where
                        zero is default. Only privileged users can specify a
                        negative priority.

bp-cli

At any point, you can read the result of the finished executions within a benchmark suite file. bp-cli prints the benchmark results to the terminal:
