Popis: For scientific software, especially those used for large-scale simulations, achieving good performance and efficiently using the available hardware resources is essential. It is important to regularly perform benchmarks to ensure the efficient use of hardware and software when systems are changing and the software evolves. However, this can become quickly very tedious when many options for parameters, solvers, and hardware architectures are available. We present a continuous benchmarking strategy that automates benchmarking new code changes on high-performance computing clusters. This makes it possible to track how each code change affects the performance and how it evolves.
