Guidelines for Running GRASS Benchmarks

Abstract

The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) is a geographic information and image processing system originally designed to serve land managers and environment planners at Army installations. GRASS is public domain software distributed by several public and private organizations. Consequently, there are many different hardware configurations running GRASS. This guide documents current procedures used to conduct system performance tests (benchmarks), to provide users considering the acquisition of the system a reliable means to compare the many systems that run GRASS. Relevant data that accompany benchmark results are: machine specifications; system environment; GRASS program environment; GRASS graphics environment; operation descriptions; data description; and benchmark execution notes.
