[Barrelfish-users] Barrelfish SPLASH2 Benchmarks

[Timothy Roscoe]

Hi Shawn,

I'm cc'ing the barrelfish-users list, which is the best place to discuss 
questions like this - you'll get more responses, and anyone else can see 
the answers as well.

It's a shame that the SPLASH-2 licence doesn't allow us to redistribute 
it (for some reason), but in older versions of Barrelfish we did make 
available a patch to SPLASH-2 to compile it for the OS.

Simon Peter can probably supply more information, since he did the 
original port ARAIR.

Note that Barrelfish has changed somewhat since the 2009 paper.  Also, 
SPLASH-2 is a bit long in the tooth - Parsec seems a better benchmark 
suite for scientific applications these days.

Best regards,
