meBench (Memory Energy Benchmark)

meBench is a simple, configurable workload to allow isolated benchmarking of different interactions with memory.

Required Packages

• clang
• gnumake
• libnuma
• perf

Usage

A dummy workload for development can be generated using make dummy_params. With it present, make build can be used to build the respective benchmark and make run to run the actual benchmark.

In addition, meBench supports batching via make generate_params which can respectively be built using make build and executed using make run_all.

Overview

src:

• src/benchmark.c: Contains the actual benchmark workload.
• src/allocator.[ch]: Contains memory allocation routines.
• `src/configuration.ch: Contains configuration validation and helpers.

scripts:

• scripts/for\_all.py: Simple enumerator to allow compilation/execution of all previously created workload configurations.
• scripts/measure.sh: Wrapper for workload execution to start/stop measurements (perf, etc.)
• scripts/start-benchmarkk-runtime.sh: Script to prepare system for benchmarking
• scripts/end-benchmarkk-runtime.sh: Script to restore system after finishing benchmark runs
