gups_basic

A program which runs a benchmark calculating GUPS (Giga updates per second) -- a random access metric.

How to Compile

With a minimal Pony installation, in the same directory as this README file run ponyc. You should see content building the necessary packages, which ends with:

console

Linking ./gups_basic

How to Run

Once gups_basic has been compiled, in the same directory as this README file run ./gups_basic. You should see a message containing the elapsed time and GUPS (Giga updates per second) for the run. The settings of a run are configurable by CLI arguments (see ./gups_basic --help for details).

console

$ ./gups_basic
Time: 0.594845 GUPS: 0.0688583

Program Modifications

This program is a benchmark and should be read rather than modified as a learning exercise.
