Re: [snipersim] parsec-2.1 Benchmark Suite

[Trevor E. Carlson]

Upasna,

     I’ve made a copy of the files, and patches, as a mirror on the Sniper website. All files for Parsec 2.1 should now mirrored to a directory similar to this one [1]. Can you try to download the files and let me know if they work for you?

Dear All

All the parsec download links provided in the benchmarks/parsec/Makefile are broken, such as http://parsec.cs.princeton.edu/download/2.1/parsec-2.1-core.tar.gz

http://parsec.cs.princeton.edu/download/2.1/parsec-2.1-sim.tar.gz

http://parsec.cs.princeton.edu/download/2.1/parsec-2.1-native.tar.gz

If anyone of you has installed parsec benchmark in your system, can you please share the same or these tar.gz files. I would be so grateful.

Best Regards

Thank you Trevor. This issue was resolved. Currently I am stuck in making cpu2006 work on Sniper. It shows:

SPEC CPU2006 sources not found. To build the CPU2006 benchmarks for Sniper, first run
benchmarks$ ./install_cpu2006 PATH_TO_CPU2006_DVD

As shown in the error, Makefile:19: recipe for target 'CPU2006/999.specrand/src/specrand.c' failed, there is currently no directory named 999.specrand in CPU2006.

Do we need to purchase SPEC CPU 2006? Can we pass iso file also to PATH_TO_CPU2006_DVD? Can we make SPEC CPU 2017 also working on Sniper, if we've its iso file? Would be grateful for your help.

Best Regards

Upasna,

For SPEC CPU2006/2017, we are not allowed to release the sources due to licensing issues. So, you could either purchase a license, or try an alternative, like Pinballs [1,2], which you can download and run without compilation.

In addition, for your previous Parsec questions, why not use the docker image with the pre-compiled binaries [3] instead of compiling them yourself?

I’ve pushed some updates recently [4] which should allow this to work again (downloading from working locations). If others want to try this out transparently, they’ll need the updated version to get the sources from the new location. One issue with Parsec 2.1 is that this benchmark suite requires specific library versions, which has been tested in our Docker image [1], but not on modern systems. This might not work on modern Linux systems.

Moving to Parsec 3.0 could be warranted if you want to use newer OSes (although, I haven’t tested this myself). While the Princeton server is now down, the Wayback Machine still has a copy [5]. There also seems to be a copy on GitHub [6], but it doesn’t look like they have all of the input datasets there.

Thank you Trevor for the pointers. Actually, I tried using docker but it gives me the error aa_is_enabled() failed unexpectedly (No such file or directory): No such file or directory. Further, separately downloading SPEC CPU pinball and executing them also gives me the following error:

Upasna,

Googling your problem came up with a number of solutions for Docker [1]. You can also use Apptainer to convert the Docker image to an Apptainer image quite easily.

Which version of Pin are you using? I’d suggest that you let Sniper 8.0 download the modern SDE version, as that has been shown to work with Pinballs.
