Note: The Workload Services Framework is a benchmarking framework and is not intended to be used for the deployment of workloads in production environments. It is recommended that users consider any adjustments which may be necessary for the deployment of these workloads in a production environment including those necessary for implementing software best practices for workload scalability and security.

Introduction

This is the Workload Services Framework repository. The repository contains a set of workloads optimized for Intel(R) Xeon(R) platforms. See the list of supported workloads under the workload directory.

Prerequisite

Evaluate Workload

Evaluate any workload as follows:

mkdir build 
cd build
cmake ..                               # .. is required here
cd workload/OpenSSL-RSAMB              # Go to any workload folder
./ctest.sh -N                          # List all test cases
./ctest.sh -R test_openssl_rsamb_sw_rsa -V  # Evaluate a specific test case
./list-kpi.sh logs*                    # Show KPIs

The WSF supports multiple validation backends. By default, the terraform backend covers on-premises or Cloud testing. You can also use the docker backend, or the Kubernetes backend for evaluating any workload locally.

Build Workload

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake -DREGISTRY= -DBENCHMARK=ResNet-50 ..
cd workload/ResNet-50
make
./ctest.sh -N

TIP: You can specify BENCHMARK to limit the repository scope to the specified workload. The build and test operations on all other workloads are disabled. See Build Options for details.

cd build
cmake -DBENCHMARK=ResNet-50
make
./ctest.sh -N
