Hi,
Although I gave my introduction on IRC before, but here it goes again. I am
Ankesh Anand, an undergrad from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur
and love hacking on Python and Javascript.
So the benchmark performance database seemed particularly interesting to
me, moreover the BRL-CAD benchmark suite has been there for quite some time
now, and a database and visualization framework on top of it would be
really useful and exciting to work on.
There was a GSoc project earlier on this as well, I plan to extend that
project and take the Performance Database and Visualization Framework to
deployment.
*Preliminary Work:*
- I ran the benchmark on a couple of systems, and went through the
documentation to make sense of the results, how the benchmark suite works,
and how a comparison between different machines is done.
- I studied the earlier GSoc project and read the dev-logs and reports. The
parser and methods to send the log files to server could be re-used.
- Went through a couple of visualization frameworks to decide what could be
best for the project. I think d3.js <http://d3js.org> is probably the best
library out there for interactive data-visualization in the browser. I have
personally worked with it as well, although I am open to other suggestions
as well.
*Questions:*
- What is the vision behind the website? It's important for me to
understand what the community wants so that I can have a clear perspective
to move forward.
- What are the different form of analytics that we want? A couple of
obvious ones that come to mind are comparing the relative performance of
processors by their VGR ratings, and their performance corresponding to
each test image.
- Should we categorize processors? A paper[1] I read measured performances
of processors across the categories of Desktop, Workstation and Server.
- Are there any other deliverables expected from this project other than
those mentioned on the project page[2]? I remember Morrison mentioning the
project description needs an update.
