# rsbench(1)

benchmark and test for librsb

## NAME

rsbench - benchmark and test for librsb

## SYNOPSIS

**rsbench** \[*--bench*\] \[*OPTIONS*\]\
 **rsbench** \[ *-o OPCODE*\] \[ *-O {subprogram-code}*\] \[ *{subprogram-specific-arguments}* \]

## DESCRIPTION

rsbench is a swiss army knife for testing the library functionality and performance.

Choose {subprogram-code} among:

-

  r for the reference benchmark (will produce a machine specific file)

-

  c for the complete benchmark

-

  e for the matrix experimentation code

-

  d for a single matrix dumpout

-

  b for the (current, going to be obsoleted) benchmark

-

  t for some matrix construction tests

-

  o obsolete, will soon be removed

{subprogram-specific-arguments} will be available from the subprograms.

- e.g.: rsbench

  **-O** b **-h**   will show the current benchmark subprogram's options

- e.g.: rsbench **-o** a **-O** b **-h**

  will show the spmv     benchmark subprogram's options

- e.g.: rsbench **-o** n **-O** b **-h**

  will show the negation benchmark subprogram's options

The default {subprogram-code} is 'b'

-

  With OPCODE among 'actinS'

Arguments to **--want-autotune** of the format "Ss\[Xx\[Tt\[V\[V\]\]\]\]", where S is the autotuning time in seconds, X is the number of tries, T the number of starting threads, V can be either q for quiet autotuning or v for a verbose one (can be specified twice). Valid examples: 3.0s2x4tv, 3.0s2x0tq, 3.0s, 2.0s10x . See documentation of rsb\_tune\_spmm for a full explanation of these parameters role in auto-tuning.
