DB12 1.0.3

DIRAC Benchmark 2012

DB12

DIRAC benchmark 2012 is a really quick benchmark, originally developed by Ricardo Graciani (https://github.com/graciani) that uses wrapper functions by Andrew McNab (https://github.com/Andrew-McNab-UK) to run multiple copies in parallel. Imane Iraoui (https://github.com/ImanIra0ui/) ported it to py3 and added many tests. The current maintainers are Federico Stagni (https://github.com/fstagni) and Alexandre Boyer (https://github.com/aldbr).

It is distributed from https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DB12.

Contribute

Development

DB12 is a fully open source project, and you are welcome to contribute to it:

• Fork the project
• Develop
• Create a Pull Request to propose a change

Code quality

To ensure the code meets DB12's coding conventions we recommend installing pre-commit system wide using your operating system's package manager. Alteratively, pre-commit is included in the Python3 development environment, see the development guide for details on how to create one. Once pre-commit is installed you can enable it by running:

pre-commit install --allow-missing-config

Code formatting will now be automatically applied before each commit.

Score analysis

DB12 has been ported to Python3 in October 2021, this created discrepancies in the scores. You might need to run an analysis of the DB12 scores to mitigate these discrepancies.
