The EL LPACK Performance Evaluation System
John P. Bonomo, Wayne R. Dyksen, John R. Rice · Purdue e-Pubs (Purdue University System) · 1986
In this document we describe how to use and maintain the ELLPACK Performance Evaluation System. This system consists of three main parts: 1) An ELLPACK PDE Population of approximately 260 instances of 60 parameterized PDEs. 2) A FORTRAN program genpgm which uses encoded descriptions of both PDE Population problems and ELLPACK problem solv~ ing techniques to generate complete ELLPACK programs designed to test a particular method on a particular elliptic problem. 3) Two UNIX shell scripts, gendata and rg$p, which crea.te input for genpgm, generate a directory of ELLPACK programs via genpgm , and then repeatedly invoke ELLPACK to solve each elliptic problem and generate performance data. Each part of the system is discussed in detail. All associated data files, programs and shell scripts are described. An account of what happens when data is generated is given.
