About PANTHEON

PANTHEON is a cross-platform software tool designed for GPU stress testing, diagnostics, profiling, and performance benchmarking on CUDA and ROCm enabled hardware.

PANTHEON provides comprehensive GPU stress testing and diagnostics capabilities, allowing users to test GPU compute, memory, cache, interconnect, and power behavior. It offers 45 focused stress tests, supporting both NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm platforms.

The software enables users to run specific workloads, capture telemetry data, and retain results for comparison. It includes a variety of 'viruses' targeting different GPU components such as Core & Compute (e.g., Omni Virus, Tensor Virus, FP64 Chokehold), Fixed-Function & Accelerators (e.g., RT Virus, Media Encoder Virus), Memory & Cache (e.g., Atomic Virus, Memory Bank Thrasher), and Interconnect & Architecture (e.g., P2P Thrasher, PCIe Thrasher).

Beyond stress testing, PANTHEON also supports AI & ML specific workloads, including LLM Decode, LLM Prefill, KV Cache Churn, Fused Attention, RoPE Stress, Quantized GEMM, Serving Mix, Speculative Decode, MoE Router, Transformer Train Step, Allocation Fragmentation, Graph Replay, RAG Embedding, and Vision Encoder. It provides local reports with exportable telemetry and offers a Performance Database for live benchmarks, comparisons, and methodology details. Installation is straightforward, with Debian packages for Ubuntu/Debian and release bundles for other Linux distributions.
