RAW Benchmark Suite

Version 1.0 - August 18, 1997 (download now!)

Directory Contents

Description

The RAW Benchmark Suite has been designed to facilitate benchmarking and comparing reconfigurable computing systems. This Suite has the following features:

Benchmarks are portable to any reconfigurable computer as a behavioral Verilog netlist with a single address space (memory-mapped) external interface to an included C driver program.
Benchmarks include a subset from the existing pool of CPU and parallel processing benchmarks.
Benchmarks are small and easy to understand.
Benchmarks are parameterized to generate designs from one to several hundred FPGAs (millions of design gates).
Each benchmark includes a C version that, under ideal circumstances (i.e. when such a compiler is developed) can be compiled into the Verilog version.

Reference Results

These benchmark have been compiled and tested on an IKOS VirtuaLogic Emulator (software version 1.4.3) connected to a host workstation. The release contains reference results comparing performance to a 6.6 SPECint95 Sun Ultra Enterprise 3000 (167MHZ processor) using gcc -O4.

Caveat

These benchmarks are not designed to serve as a standard and have not been selected to represent any meaningful subset of actual programs or applications.
