Hello everyone!

I am an undergrad at Louisiana Tech University, my degree focus is on 
Computer Science and I plan to graduate in November of this year. My SoC 
project is the OSCAR Bench project that will incorporate benchmarks into 
OSCAR. I would love to hear any suggestions, or vision you have for the 
project. I expect my proposal will change a good bit between now and August.

Some pressing thoughts I have had are:

Where in OSCAR does OSCAR Bench belong? Should it be run as part of the 
'test cluster' if the users downloads it? Would an additional GUI button 
be added if the user downloads my package? My thoughts are that the 
benchmark should be able to run independently of the Wizard, but with 
the requirement that the cluster be an OSCAR cluster, e.g., it has an 
OSCAR database. That could be removed as well, but I would like to build 
off OSCAR as much as possible, so I don't have to recreate any wheels. 
This is future thinking on my part, because I am not sure what data I 
may want that OSCAR has to offer (if any).

Also what benchmarks are most relevant? If I work with the HPCC 
benchmark package, do I need to include HPL? From experience I have used 
the HPCC benchmark for about 4 months now, I have also built/used ATLAS 
to go with it. I noticed a post here regarding IO benchmarking, so I 
really want to narrow my focus down to a few specific benchmarks/packages.

And the final thought was: Should all the benchmarks be clumped into 1 
package, or should each be its own package. For instance: an Atlas 
package, a HPL package, a HPCC packages, etc...,

Thanks again for the chance to work with you,
James Elliott
