Get markdown report from JSON

[bernhardmgruber]

When I run an nvbench-based benchmark, like:

thrust.bench.transform.basic.base -d 0 --stopping-criterion entropy --json baseline.json

it prints a nice markdown report at the end, summarizing the run benchmarks, times, bandwidths etc. All data is also stored into baseline.json. I archive the JSON file for later use, e.g., comparing it with other results. The terminal output is discarded. However, the comparison script nvbench_compare.py later only shows the runtimes of the baseline and comparison run, not the bandwidth and %SOL. The data should be in the JSON file tough.

Is there a way to have the comparison script print the bandwidth as well?
Is there a tool/script to print the markdown report given a JSON file?

Both features would be very useful to easily print the achieved bandwidth and %SOL for results stored as JSON. Otherwise, I would always need to capture and archive the markdown report as well, which is annoying and seems redundant.

The data is in the JSON and we can modify the comparison script to print it (maybe an --additional-fields option or similar?).

Is there a tool/script to print the markdown report given a JSON file?

No, the existing markdown printer reads from the runtime data structures, not the JSON archive. This would require a new implementation.

I would warmly welcome both additions :)
