Function Documentation

std::string IMP::benchmark::get_data_path

(

std::string

file_name

)

Return the full path to one of this module's data files.

To read the data file "data_library" that was placed in the data directory of this module, do something like

std::ifstream in(IMP::benchmark::get_data_path("data_library"));

This will ensure that the code works both when IMP is installed or if used via the setup_environment.sh script.

Note

Each module has its own data directory, so be sure to use this function from the correct module.

std::string IMP::benchmark::get_example_path

(

std::string

file_name

)

Return the full path to one of this module's example files.

To read the example file "example_protein.pdb" that was placed in the examples directory of this module, do something like

std::ifstream in(IMP::benchmark::get_example_path("example_protein.pdb"));

This will ensure that the code works both when IMP is installed or if used via the setup_environment.sh script.

Note

Each module has its own example directory, so be sure to use this function from the correct module.

void IMP::benchmark::report	(	std::string	benchmark,
		std::string	algorithm,
		double	time,
		double	check
	)

Report a benchmark result in a standard way.

Parameters

[in]	benchmark	the name of the benchmark being run
[in]	algorithm	the name of the particular algorithm used to solve the problem
[in]	time	the time it took (perhaps normalized)
[in]	check	a check value to print out to see if the calculation was OK
