Memory Validation Tests
The tests here are used to validate TCP and TCC. The validation focuses on the
commonly used stats like cache hit/miss, and memory traffic. The kernels used
for testing are dedicated ones, e.g., pointer chase,showing regular parrterns,
and thus providing expected stats.
The testing workflow is that:
1) dedicated kernels will be executed and profiled using the specified
counters/events in rocprofiler;
2) profiling results will be parsed using the provided scripts, and compared
against expected values (self-checking);
3) the comparion results are printed onto screen to show the test is a pass or
fail.
#### Source tree ####
- run.sh top-level script to start all tests
- Makefile top-level makefile
- run_scripts/
- global.cfg: settings and global codes used by .sh files
- test_cache_miss.sh: test TCP/TCC miss rates
- test_fetchwrite_size.sh: test memory fetch/write sizes
- pmc_config_files/
- cache_pmc.txt: counters used for cache tests
- benches/
- test_cache/: benchmark used for cached-related tests
- Makefile: makefile to compile benchmarks
#### How to run ####
1) step into the test folder
$cd test/memory_validation/
2) run tests
to start all tests
$run.sh
or, to separtely run each
$run_scripts/test_cache_miss.sh [TCP/TCC/TCP TCC]
$run_scripts/test_fetchwrite_size.sh
#### Known issues ####
while all tests have be thoroughly tests on Vega 10 and all show [PASS],
occasionally some tests show [FAIL]. Possbile reasons is interference onto test
benchmarks from runtime processes. You just need to run the tests again.
