TL;DR
This paper introduces the Workload Characterisation Framework (WCF), a modular tool designed to systematically analyze and compare radio astronomy software workloads, demonstrated on a LOFAR calibration pipeline.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel modular framework for reproducible characterization of radio astronomy processing software workloads.
Findings
WCF effectively characterizes radio astronomy software.
Application to LOFAR pipeline demonstrates framework's utility.
Framework enables reproducible workload comparison.
Abstract
We present a modular framework, the Workload Characterisation Framework (WCF), that is developed to reproducibly obtain, store and compare key characteristics of radio astronomy processing software. As a demonstration, we discuss the experiences using the framework to characterise a LOFAR calibration and imaging pipeline.
