====== Benchmarks ======

====== Information provided ======

The following information is provided for each benchmark:

  * **name**: the name of the benchmark
  * **layers**: this covers the storage API that is actually benchmarked, e.g. POSIX
  * **features**: Describes roughly the offered features that are supported (potentially via options) by the benchmark
    * data: This is a data centric benchmark (read, write)
    * metadata: This benchmark measures metadata performance (open, close, stat, readdir, ...)
    * programmable: The details of the access pattern can be configured, e.g., execution order.
    * tunable: Offers fine grained access to the underlying API supporting many tunables (e.g., hints)
    * analyzable: The benchmark suite provides at least rudimentary support to visualize and analyze the results and compare several runs.
  * **parallel**: This indicates if and how the benchmark is parallelized:
    * Sequential, i.e., a single process that runs the benchmark
    * OpenMP: Parallelized via OpenMP
    * MPI: MPI parallel version
  * **type**: the type of the access pattern. 
    * synthetic: completely artificial access pattern
    * kernel: this is an I/O kernel of an existing application, meaning it only contains the I/O parts and runs them as fast as possible
    * mini-app: this is a stripped down version of an application consisting of I/O but also compute phases
    * application: this is a full featured scientific application that does make sense
  * **license**: The license behind the benchmark
  * **webpage**: The web page of the benchmark
