llvm dev - Dec 2011 - [LLVMdev] Benchmarking for automatic parallelization project

Hi all,
I am looking appropriate Benchmarking for the assessment of automatic
parallelization project. What Benchmarking do you suggest me?

regards
neda

  Do you mean auto-parallelization or auto-vectorization? If it's the
latter, I
sugguest you find scientific or graphic applications. I don't think there is
auto-parallelization benchmark, however.

For auto-vectorization, look at:

If you're looking for auto-parallelization, I can ask around.

Other people have tried to answer you directly, but I think a
broader response may also be helpful.

There is no such thing as a benchmark for the assessment of
automatic parallelization. Automatic parallelization is too
diverse a field to be coherently represented by a single benchmark,
or even a single family of benchmarks.

I suggest the following questions:

Do you have an application or area of applications you want to study?
Do you have a platform or architecture family you want to study?
Are you interested in a particular programming language, or family?
Are you studying parallelization as part of a broader inquery?
