Description
Benchmarking production workflows from existing telescopes such as MeerKAT may help identify performance roadblocks long before they could be identified with targeted benchmark of partial SDP software. Indeed, some scalability problems might arise only with full workflows (or even when multiple workflow run concurrently). Moreover, existing production algorithms can be used as a performance reference for SKA re-implementations of existing algorithms. Finally, MeerKAT software can be used to prototype profiling/benchmarking tools on full production workflows.
The usefulness of benchmarking MeerKAT software, however, has to be investigated, as the design of the SKA SDP differs from MeerKAT. Discussion with people with knowledge of both projects should be started and benefits of benchmarking MeerKAT software for SKA should be identified.
