Introduction

cBench is a cross-platform client connected with the open cKnowledge.io portal to support collaborative and reproducible benchmarking, optimization and co-design of computational systems based on emerging technologies (AI, ML, quantum, IoT).

cBench is a part of the Collective Knowledge technology and a wrapper around the low-level CK SDK to simplify the user experience.

MLPref crowd-benchmarking demo on Ubuntu

Install prerequisites:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git wget libz-dev curl cmake
sudo apt install gcc g++ autoconf autogen libtool
sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt install python3.7-dev
sudo apt install -y libsm6 libxext6 libxrender-dev

Install cbrain:

python3 -m pip install cbrain

Initialize the CK solution for MLPerf:

cb init demo-obj-detection-coco-tf-cpu-benchmark-linux-portable-workflows

Participate in crowd-benchmarking:

cb benchmark demo-obj-detection-coco-tf-cpu-benchmark-linux-portable-workflows

See results on a public SOTA dashboard.

You can also use the stable Docker image to participate in crowd-benchmarking:

sudo docker run ctuning/cbench-obj-detection-coco-tf-cpu-benchmark-linux-portable-workflows /bin/bash -c "cb benchmark demo-obj-detection-coco-tf-cpu-benchmark-linux-portable-workflows"

You can also check all dependencies for this solution.
