HPCG Workload Profiles

The following profiles run customer-representative or benchmarking scenarios using the HPCG workload.

PERF-CPU-HPCG.json

Runs the HPCG benchmark workload.

  • Workload Profile

  • OS/Architecture Platforms

    • linux-x64
    • linux-arm64

  • Supports Disconnected Scenarios

    • No. Internet connection required.

  • Supported Compilers
    The following compilers are supported with the workload for this profile. See profile parameters and usage examples below.

    • GCC Compiler Versions = 8, 9, 10

  • Dependencies
    The dependencies defined in the 'Dependencies' section of the profile itself are required in order to run the workload operations effectively.

    • Internet connection.

    Additional information on components that exist within the 'Dependencies' section of the profile can be found in the following locations:

  • Profile Parameters
    The following parameters can be optionally supplied on the command line to modify the behaviors of the workload.

    ParameterPurposeDefault value
    CompilerNameOptional. The name of the compiler to use for compiling CoreMark on the system.gcc
    CompilerVersionOptional. The version of the compiler to use.10

  • Profile Runtimes
    See the 'Metadata' section of the profile for estimated runtimes. These timings represent the length of time required to run a single round of profile actions. These timings can be used to determine minimum required runtimes for the Virtual Client in order to get results. These are often estimates based on the number of system cores.

  • Usage Examples
    The following section provides a few basic examples of how to use the workload profile.

    # Execute the workload profile
./VirtualClient --profile=PERF-CPU-HPCG.json --system=Demo --timeout=1440 --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}"

 # Override the profile default parameters to use a different GCC compiler version
./VirtualClient --profile=PERF-CPU-HPCG.json --system=Demo --timeout=1440 --parameters="CompilerVersion=9" --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}"
