Artifact Evaluation For "Optimizing Remote Data Transfers In X10" - Pact'18

Artifact Evaluation Reproduction for "Optimizing Remote Data Transfers in X10", PACT 2018. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This repository contains artifacts and source codes<br> to reproduce experiments from the PACT 2018 research paper<br> titled "Optimizing Remote Data Transfers in X10" Our evaluations are done on Linux based Operation system. <br> Hardware pre-requisities:<br> ------------------------------<br> We recommend the following architectures any of the following architectures:<br> * An Intel System with two nodes, each node having 32 cores (32 CPUs). Total 64 cores.<br> * An AMD System, with two nodes, each node having 16 cores (16 CPUs). Total 32 cores.<br> <br> Software pre-requisites:<br> ----------------------------<br> 1) For Evaluation using Virtual Machine required software are already installed in the provided image.<br> A VirtualBox (from Oracle) is required to install the image and do evaluation. 2) For Manual evaluation, the below required software needs to be installed in the system.<br> * g++ (preferred version 5.4.0)<br> * Apache ant software (preferred version 1.9.6 )<br> * Java software<br> - preferred jvm jdk1.8.0_151 (or) java-8-oracle<br> - After installation, set JAVA_HOME path in ~/.bashrc to point to the installed JAVA bin <br> Benchmarks:<br> ---------------<br> 1) Taken from IMSuite Benchmark kernels (http://www.cse.iitm.ac.in/~krishna/imsuite/). Already, included in the package. <br> Installation, Execution and Validation of results:<br> ---------------------------------------------------------<br> 1) For Evaluation using Virtual Machine see README.md file in ./AE/VM folder 2) For Evaluation using Manual method see README.md file in ./AE/Manual folder 3) For Evaluating AT-Opt technique againt varing input sizes (not discussed in the paper), look at<br> web page http://www.cse.iitm.ac.in/~krishna/imsuite/. In the ./AE/Manual folder, "x10-base" folder is<br> the baseline compiler (after bulid) and "x10-atOpt" (after build) folder is the AT-Opt compiler (has our techniques implemented). <br> If anything in unclear, or any unexpected results occur, please report it to the authors.
