The Rodinia Benchmark Suite in SYCL (Deprecated)

The benchmarks can be used for CPU, GPU, FPGA, or other architectures that support OpenCL and SYCL. It was written with GPUs in mind, so targeting other architectures may require heavy optimization.

Prerequisites

Intel^® DPC++ compiler in OneAPI Base Toolkit (https://software.intel.com/oneapi/base-kit)
Codeplay ComputeCpp^™ (https://www.codeplay.com/products/computesuite/computecpp)

Compilation

To compile each benchmark with the default settings, navigate to your selected source directory and use the following command:

make

You can alter compiler settings in the included Makefile. For example, use the Codeplay SYCL compiler

make VENDOR=codeplay

Debugging, Optimization

There are also a number of switches that can be set in the makefile. Here is a sample of the control panel at the top of the makefile:

OPTIMIZE = no
DEBUG    = yes

• Optimization enables the -O3 optimization flag
• Debugging enables the -g and/or -DDEBUG flag

Running a benchmark

To run a benchmark, use the following command:

make run

Note the dataset, which is needed for certain benchmarks, can be downloaded at http://lava.cs.virginia.edu/Rodinia/download.htm.

Running all benchmarks

A bash script is provided to attempt to run all the benchmarks:

./run_all.sh
