As the interest to Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) is growing, the importance of benchmarking and performance characterization studies of GNNs is increasing. So far, we have seen many studies that investigate and present the performance and computational efficiency of GNNs. However, the work done so far has been carried out using a few high-level GNN frameworks. Although these frameworks provide ease of use, they contain too many dependencies to other existing libraries. The layers of implementation details and the dependencies complicate the performance analysis of GNN models that are built on top of these frameworks, especially while using architectural simulators. Furthermore, different approaches on GNN computation are generally overlooked in prior characterization studies, and merely one of the common computational models is evaluated. Based on these shortcomings and needs that we observed, we developed a benchmark suite that is framework independent, supporting versatile computational models, easily configurable and can be used with architectural simulators without additional effort. Our benchmark suite, which we call gSuite, makes use of only hardware vendor's libraries and therefore it is independent of any other frameworks. gSuite enables performing detailed performance characterization studies on GNN Inference using both contemporary GPU profilers and architectural GPU simulators. To illustrate the benefits of our new benchmark suite, we perform a detailed characterization study with a set of well-known GNN models with various datasets; running gSuite both on a real GPU card and a timing-detailed GPU simulator. We also implicate the effect of computational models on performance. We use several evaluation metrics to rigorously measure the performance of GNN computation.

这项研究重点是探索局部可解释性方法来解释时间序列聚类模型。许多最先进的聚类模型无法直接解释。为了提供这些聚类算法的解释，我们训练分类模型以估计群集标签。然后，我们使用可解释性方法来解释分类模型的决策。这些解释用于获得对聚类模型的见解。我们执行一项详细的数值研究，以测试多个数据集，聚类模型和分类模型上所提出的方法。结果的分析表明，所提出的方法可用于解释时间序列聚类模型，特别是当基础分类模型准确时。最后，我们对结果进行了详细的分析，讨论了如何在现实生活中使用我们的方法。
