Abstract
In this paper we present DISBench, an open-source benchmark suite designed for memory performance evaluation of multicore processors and multiprocessor systems on different sets of workload. DISBench includes three memory access kernels: stream, stride and random, which represent different types of memory intensive applications. DISBench natively supports hardware performance counters for detailed performance analysis. Evaluation results of the modern multicore processors (Intel Sandy Bridge-EP and AMD Interlagos) are presented and discussed.
