Computing FLOPs with Intel Software Development Emulator (Intel SDE)
Original language description
This project arose from the training "What you need to know about performance analysis using Intel tools" held mid of 2017. It showed the demand for an automatized process (script) to compute the FLOPs from an application by using Intel SDE. So far, there is no such script available and it requires a tedious manual process to compute the FLOPs numbers. A Python script was created to simplify this process and to minimize the risk of manual calculation errors. It also adds support for counting FLOPs of selected sections of an application by using markers in the code. The FLOPs numbers, as well as overall and FMA instructions executed, are shown by thread and in total. The script was validated for Intel architectures using SSE, AVX, AVX2, and AVX512. It is officially available on Github under GPL-3.0: https://github.com/It4innovations/Intel-SDE-FLOPS

Technical parameters
The Python script requires an execution of the Intel SDE with the application to count the FLOPs for. Intel SDE will leave two result files which are then parsed by the script to provide the summary information. The Python script only requires the „re“ module and has no further dependencies.
