Benchpress

Benchpress is a comprehensive quantum benchmarking tool developed by IBM Research to help evaluate quantum computing SDKs and stacks. Released in September 2024, Benchpress consists of over 1,000 tests measuring key performance metrics for operations on quantum circuits with up to 930 qubits and O(10^6) two-qubit gates. The benchmarking suite evaluates quantum software development kits including Braket, BQSKit, Cirq, Qiskit, Qiskit Transpiler Service, Staq, and Tket. Described in a paper titled 'Benchmarking the performance of quantum computing software' and addresses the need for systematic evaluation of quantum software tools. Benchpress provides standardized metrics for comparing quantum circuit creation, manipulation, and compilation performance across different platforms. Open-source tool helping the quantum computing community make informed decisions about software stack selection.
