HPCC(1)

💖 HPCC(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual for hpcc, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, so you already know it's giving "type it in the terminal and let it cook" energy. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

hpcc — the HPC Challenge benchmark, aka the glow-up test for your whole cluster 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hpcc

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, just vibes and a config file (more on that in a sec) 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the High Performance Computing (HPC) Challenge benchmark is this whole suite of tests, right, and it measures the performance of CPU, memory and network for HPC clusters. like, all three. it's an everything-benchmark. it ate. 👑

and the way it gets its settings? it does not take them from the command line, bestie. it takes its parameters from an hpccinf.txt file. so if you just run it raw and it does something unexpected, that file is the one to blame, not the binary. 😭

there's an example file you can peek at if you need inspo, and it lives at:

/usr/share/doc/hpcc/examples/_hpccinf.txt

go look at it. copy it. make it your own. main character energy. ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• /usr/share/doc/hpcc/ — the whole documentation directory, go browse, it's lowkey iconic

💜 a lil sign-off 💜

this page is from HPCC(1) and it's dated April 8, 2015, so yeah it's been around a minute but it still serves. no cap. 🎀

now go run hpcc and check that vibe. bye bestie 💖🌈⭐
