likwid

We have hosted the application likwid in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about likwid:

Likwid is a simple to install and use toolsuite of command line applications and a library for performance oriented programmers. It works for Intel, AMD, ARMv8 and POWER9 processors on the Linux operating system. There is additional support for Nvidia and AMD GPUs. There is support for ARMv7 and POWER8/9 but there is currently no test machine in our hands to test them properly.

Features:

• likwid-topology: print thread, cache and NUMA topology
• likwid-perfctr: configure and read out hardware performance counters on Intel, AMD, ARM and POWER processors and Nvidia GPUs
• likwid-powermeter: read out RAPL Energy information and get info about Turbo mode steps
• likwid-pin: pin your threaded application (pthread, Intel and gcc OpenMP to dedicated processors)
• likwid-bench: Micro benchmarking platform for CPU architectures
• likwid-features: Print and manipulate cpu features like hardware prefetchers (x86 only)
• likwid-genTopoCfg: Dumps topology information to a file
• likwid-mpirun: Wrapper to start MPI and Hybrid MPI/OpenMP applications (Supports Intel MPI, OpenMPI, MPICH and SLURM)
• likwid-perfscope: Frontend to the timeline mode of likwid-perfctr, plots live graphs of performance metrics using gnuplot
• likwid-memsweeper: Sweep memory of NUMA domains and evict cachelines from the last level cache
• likwid-setFrequencies: Tool to control the CPU and Uncore frequencies (x86 only)
• likwid-sysFeatures: Tool to system settings like frequencies, powercaps and prefetchers (experimental)

Programming Language: C.
