This package performs microbenchmarking for determining the run time performance of aspects of the R programming environment and packages relevant to high-performance computation. The benchmarks are divided into three categories: dense matrix linear algebra kernels, sparse matrix linear algebra kernels, and machine learning functionality. The top-level benchmark functions covering the three categories are RunDenseMatrixBenchmark, RunSparseMatrixBenchmark, RunMachineLearningBenchmark.
The companion data package RHPCBenchmarkData contains the sparse matrix files needed by the sparse matrix benchmarking function.
Installation of the benchmarking and companion data packages is
trivial with the use of the install.packages function
See the vignette named ‘vignette’ for a more detailed explanation of
the package and additional examples. New benchmarks can be specified
using the classes DenseMatrixMicrobenchmark,
SparseMatrixMicrobenchmark, and
ClusteringMicrobenchmark; see the vignette and the object
documentation for each of these classes to learn how new microbenchmarks
can be constructed.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
