-The Scalable HeterOgeneous Computing (SHOC) benchmark suite is a collection of benchmark programs testing the performance and stability of systems using computing devices with non-traditional architectures
-for general purpose computing. It serves as synthetic benchmark suite in the UEABS context. Its initial focus is on systems containing Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and multi-core processors, featuring implementations using both CUDA and OpenCL. It can be used on clusters as well as individual hosts.
-Also, SHOC includes an Offload branch for the benchmarks that can be used to evaluate the Intel Xeon Phi x100 family.
-
-The SHOC benchmark suite currently contains benchmark programs, categoried based on complexity. Some measure low-level "feeds and speeds" behavior (Level 0), some measure the performance of a higher-level operation such as a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) (Level 1), and the others measure real application kernels (Level 2).
