Multichase - a pointer chaser benchmark 1/ BUILD - just type: $ make 2/ INSTALL - just run from current directory or copy multichase wherever you need to 3/ RUN - By default, multichase will perform a pointer chase through an array size of 256MB and a stride size of 256 bytes for 2.5 seconds on a single thread: $ multichase - Pointer chase through an array of 4MB with a stride size of 64 bytes: $ multichase -m 4m -s 64 - Pointer chase through an array of 1GB for 10 seconds (-n is the number of 0.5 second samples): $ multichase -m 1g -n 20 - Pointer chase through an array of 256KB with a stride size of 128 bytes on 2 threads. Thread 0 accesses every 128th byte, thread 1 accesses every 128th byte offset by sizeof(void*)=8 on 64bit architectures: $ multichase -m 256k -s 128 -t 2 - Pingpong: measure latency of exchanging a line between cores. To run, simply do: $ pingpong -u - Fairness: measure fairness with N threads competing to increment an atomic variable. To run, simply do: $ fairness
