Hardware benchmarking

Who: Coral Team in collaboration with the support of other SRCNet Teams

What: Evaluate/select a common framework for benchmarking. Produce benchmarks to study the performance of different computing resources available in the Coral team participant nodes. Define a set of network tests to study network performance in order to identify bottleneck and room for improvements

Why: To evaluate the different critical features of the hardware components of the computing infrastructures of the SRCNet nodes, such as CPU, RAM, Network, etc. This allows existing SRCNet to test the performance of their architectures and computing platforms and for future nodes to be able to choose one or another configuration. Also to take into account the energy efficiency (green computing) at hardware level.
