Hello All
We are pleased to announce the release of new version of X10 kernels,
compatible to x10-2.5.0. We have also applied some minor optimizations and
removed some bugs from the IMSuite kernels for X10 version: x10-2.3.0.
IMSuite has been ported to a new location:
http://www.cse.iitm.ac.in/~krishna/imsuite/
Please feel free to download the kernels.
Regards
Suyash

Abstract:
Considering the diverse nature of real-world distributed applications that
makes it hard to identify a representative subset of distributed benchmarks, we
focus on their underlying distributed algorithms. We present and characterize a
new kernel benchmark suite (named IMSuite) that simulates some of the classical
distributed algorithms in task parallel languages. We present multiple
variations of our kernels, broadly categorized under two heads: (a) varying
synchronization primitives (with and without fine grain synchronization
primitives); and (b) varying forms of parallelization (data parallel and
recursive task parallel). Our characterization covers interesting aspects of
distributed applications such as distribution of remote communication requests,
number of synchronization, task creation, task termination and atomic
operations. We study the behavior (execution time) of our kernels by varying
the problem size, the number of compute threads, and the input configurations.
We also present an involved set of input generators and output validators.
