MatvecMicrobenchmark {RHPCBenchmark}

Conducts a single performance trial with the matrix-vector multiplication dense matrix kernel

Description

MatvecMicrobenchmark conducts a single performance trial of the matrix-vector multiplication dense matrix kernel for the matrix given in the kernelParameters parameter. The function times the single function call kernelParameters$A %*% kernelParameters$b.

Usage

MatvecMicrobenchmark(benchmarkParameters, kernelParameters)

Arguments

benchmarkParameters

an object of type DenseMatrixMicrobenchmark specifying various parameters for microbenchmarking the dense matrix kernel

kernelParameters

a list of matrices or vectors to be used as input to the dense matrix kernel

Examples

## Not run: 
# Allocate input to the matrix-vector multiplication microbenchmark for the
# first matrix size to be tested
microbenchmarks <- GetDenseMatrixDefaultMicrobenchmarks()
kernelParameters <- MatvecAllocator(microbenchmarks[["matvec"]], 1)
# Execute the microbenchmark
timings <- MatvecMicrobenchmark(microbenchmarks[["matvec"]], kernelParameters)

## End(Not run)
