$: cmake ..
$: make -j
$: cd ..
$: ./benchpress --help

More info

Prerequisites [Optional]

To install BenchPress you need to have cmake>=3.14 installed, and a few other standard apt packages. Inspect requirements.apt file to see what is required. Either apt install the listed packages or execute the script with sudo rights to install them. This step is optional.

Python

BenchPress uses 3.6<=python.version<=3.8. python3.8 is recommended. You may also use python3.9 but pip will struggle to find older package versions. You will have to manually bump package versions in requirements.pip.

Building BenchPress

Build makefiles:

$: cmake -S <path_to_src_root> -B <path_to_build_root> <-Dcmake_flag1, -Dcmake_flag2, ...>

For most of BenchPress's functionalities (e.g. training and sampling the model), no cmake flags are required. The following build flags are supported:

  • -DLOCAL=<path>[Default: ""]: All output binaries and libraries will be compiled under <build_root>/local/. Override this flag if you want to specify a custom output path (e.g. in the case of high-bandwidth partitions of clusters).
  • -DBOOST_FROM_SOURCE=ON/OF[Default: OFF]: Set ON if you with boost library to be compiled from source into the build directory. BenchPress does not use boost, however if you want to extend it to C++ synthesis and want boost header files to be visible by the language model, you can use this flag.
  • -DPROTOC_FROM_SOURCE=ON/OFF[Default: OFF]: BenchPress uses protobuf messages to read/write specifications about the model, corpuses, sampler and other things. To compiler protobufs protoc is needed. If you cannot install it globally, this flag will install it from source within the build directory.
  • -DBUILD_CLDRIVE=ON/OFF[Default: OFF]: Set ON to build cldrive, a driver for OpenCL kernels. cldrive is required if one desires to execute kernels using BenchPress's cli. Details: https://github.com/ChrisCummins/cldrive
  • -DBUILD_CSMITH=ON/OFF[Default: OFF]: Builds csmith fuzzer and adds it to environment.
  • -DBUILD_CLSMITH=ON/OFF[Default: OFF]: Builds clsmith fuzzer (csmith variation for OpenCL) and adds it to environment.
  • -DBUILD_MUTEC=ON/OFF[Default: OFF]: Builds mutec source code mutator and adds it to BenchPress's environment. Details: https://github.com/chao-peng/mutec
  • -DBUILD_SRCIROR=ON/OFF[Default: OFF]: Builds srciror text-level and IR mutator and adds it to the environment. Details: https://github.com/TestingResearchIllinois/srciror

After you specify the build environment, cd into your build directory and:

$: make -j

This will produce all libraries and binaries sandboxed in the build directory. At the root of the source directory an executable script benchpress will be built:

$: ./benchpress --help

will list all available execution flags for the application.

Platforms

⚠️ BenchPress only supports Linux-based systems. While it can be installed on Windows or MacOS, it has not been attempted and tested, therefore not guaranteed to work.
