Title
Challenges and issues in benchmarking MPI
Abstract
Benchmarking MPI is a contentious subject at best. Micro- benchmarks are used because they are easy to port and, hypothetically, measure an important system characteristic in isolation. The unfortunate reality is that it is remarkably difficult to create a benchmark that is a fair measurement in the context of modern system. Software optimizations and modern processor architecture perform extremely efficiently on benchmarks, where it would not in an application context. This paper explores the challenges faced when benchmarking the network in a modern microprocessor climate and the remarkable impacts on the results that are obtained.
