bench

This is a standard benchmarking system for leabra. It runs 5 layer fully connected networks of various sizes, with the number of events and epochs adjusted to take roughly an equal amount of time overall.

First, build the executable:

$ go build

• run_bench.sh is a script that runs standard configurations -- can pass additional args like threads=2 to test different threading levels.

• bench_results.md has the algorithmic / implementational history for different versions of the code, on the same platform (macbook pro).

• run_hardware.sh is a script specifically for hardware testing, running standard 1, 2, 4 threads for each network size, and only reporting the final result, in the form shown in:

• bench_hardware.md has standard results for different hardware.
