AccelerEyes releases Jacket GBENCH

Accelereyes has release Jacket GBENCH 1.0 for benchmarking GPU performance on your system across a wide variety of scientific algorithms, including LU Decomposition, FFT’s, BLAS, 3D Convolutions, and more.

GBENCH is a practical application benchmark measured in real seconds and is not meant to be a scientific or theoretical benchmark measured in GFLOPs. Also note that for fairness, arithmetic precisions (e.g. double, single) have been matched on the CPU and GPU. Finally, the data sizes used in these computations are large enough to exploit data parallelism (e.g. no scalar arithmetic was attempted). This benchmark assumes a data parallel problem.

It requires the MATLAB Compiler Runtime, but runs on both Windows and LInux.
