m2s-bench-amdapp-2.5

##Build Instructions

All of the benchmark host programs can be built by running the make command from the top level directory. This will create both a static and dynamically linked version of the host program. The GPU binaries for each benchmark are all provided pre-compiled. The provided Makefile assumes that Multi2Sim source has been downloaded onto the home folder of the user's system in a folder called 'multi2sim'. Furthermore, the user copy of Multi2Sim should have been configured and built according to the instructions provided at https://www.multi2sim.org/development/multi2sim.php. The building of the benchmarks was tested on a system running Ubuntu 14.04, Linux kernel 3.13.0-32-generic, and GCC 4.8.4

In addition, the user can create a tarball of the statically linked host programs and GPU kernel binaries by running make dist.

Note: BoxFilterGL, Mandelbrot, and NBody will not be built due to the OpenGL requirements of the benchmarks.

##Run Instructions

All of the benchmarks can be run by providing the Multi2Sim binary, the benchmark host program, and the GPU binary via the --load command:

`<multi2sim_binary> <benchmark_host_program> --load <benchmark_GPU_binary>`

For example, running the BinarySearch benchmark would be done in the following manner:

`multisim/bin/m2s m2s-bench-amdapp-2.5/BinarySearch/BinarySearch --load BinarySearch/BinarySearch_Kernels.bin`

Each of the benchmarks provides several command line options which can be explored via the --help option such as a verification option which will run the GPU binary as well as a CPU only implementation of the benchmark to compare the GPU results against.
