# Testing
## Running a Vortex application
The framework provides a utility script: blakcbox.sh under the /ci/ folder for executing applications in the tests tree.
You can query the commandline options of the tool using:
$ ./ci/blakcbox.sh --help
To execute sgemm test program on the simx driver and passing "-n10" as argument to sgemm:
$ ./ci/blakcbox.sh --driver=simx --app=sgemm --args="-n10"
You can execute the same application of a GPU architecture with 2 cores:
$ ./ci/blakcbox.sh --core=2 --driver=simx --app=sgemm --args="-n10"
When excuting, Blackbox needs to recompile the driver if the desired architecture changes.
It tracks the latest configuration in a file under the current directory blackbox.<driver>.cache.
To avoid having to rebuild the driver all the time, Blackbox checks if the latest cached configuration matches the current.
## Running Benchmarks
The Vortex test suite is located under the /test/ folder
You can execute the default regression suite by running the following commands at the root folder.
$ make -C tests/regression run-simx
$ make -C tests/regression run-rtlsim
You can execute the default opncl suite by running the following commands at the root folder.
$ make -C tests/opencl run-simx
$ make -C tests/opencl run-rtlsim
