An Open Benchmark Suite for Evaluating Computer Architecture on Bioinformatics and Life Science Applications
Abstract
In this paper, we propose BIOPERF, a definitive
benchmark suite of representative applications from the biology
and life sciences community, where the codes are carefully
selected to span a breadth of algorithms and performance characteristics.
The BIOPERF suite is available from www.bioperf.
org and includes benchmark source code, input datasets of
various sizes, and information for compiling and using the
benchmarks. We include parallel codes where available.
