Question about execution time datasets and simulation hardware

[davudazizov]

Hi,

While following your workflow, I am currently working on the step where circuits are executed on simulators to obtain execution times. I’ve been able to run smaller circuits, but I am encountering difficulties with some of the larger ones.

I had a couple of questions:

Are the processed datasets (i.e., the updated circuit files with recorded execution times) available to share?
Could you provide more details about the hardware used for the simulations (e.g., CPU/GPU specifications and memory)?

Best,
Davud

Hi Davud,

Yes, I can share the processed datasets for both simulators and quantum computers: https://github.com/mooselab/Quantum-Execution-Time-Prediction/tree/main/data

For the simulations, I used my local machine rather than a server or cluster. The hardware setup was:

• Mac mini
• Apple M2 chip
• 8-core CPU (4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores)
• Integrated graphics on the M2 chip, with no discrete GPU
• 16 GB unified memory

Best,
Ning
