D7.4: Unified European Applications Benchmark Suite

This deliverable describes the Unified European Application Benchmark Suite (UEABS), a set of 12 application codes taken from the existing PRACE and DEISA application benchmark suites to form a single suite, with the objective of providing a set of scalable, currently relevant and publically available codes and datasets, of a size which can realistically be run on large systems, and maintained into the future. This work has been undertaken by Task 7.4 “Unified European Applications Benchmark Suite for Tier-0 and Tier-1” in the PRACE Second Implementation Phase (PRACE-2IP) project. The selection process, which was determined by the consensus of partners in Workpackage 7, and which is described here in detail, took into account the criteria of open licensing, public availability of suitable datasets, support from developers, portability, scalability and relevance to science communities. The selected codes are: ALYA, Code_Saturne, CP2K, GADGET, GENE, GROMACS, GPAW, NAMD, NEMO, QCD, Quantum Espresso and SPECFEM3D. For each code either one or two test case datasets have been selected. These are described in this document, along with a brief introduction to the application codes themselves. For each code some sample results are presented, from several PRACE Tier-0 and Tier-1 systems
