+# pcie_bw
+This standalone helps evaluate the following:
+- Is transferring one large buffer faster than transferring 16 small buffers 
+  from host to device?
+- Is it better to have host buffers in pinned memory even for hipMemcpy calls?
+- Is it less efficient if multiple threads launched those small buffer transfers?
+
+## How to build and run
+
+```
+make
+OMP_NUM_THREADS=<nthread> ./test <nbuf> <bufsize_mb> <pinned> <iter>
+```
+where,
+- nbuf = number of buffers to copy from HtoD (Default: 1)
+- bufsize_mb = size of each buffer in MB (Default: 16)
+- pinned =0 use pageable host buffer, =1 use pinned host buffer (Default: 1)
+- niter  = number of iterations of timing loop (Default: 100)
+- async_copy = 0 for hipMemcpy for transfers, 1 for hipMemcpyAsync (Default: 0)
+
+A script is also included to test a range of buffer sizes. To run the script, 
+```
+./run.sh
+```
+One could augment the script to vary any or all input arguments as needed.
