Performance Metrics for Parallel Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
One frequently needs to compare the performance of two or more parallel computers; but how should this be done? The most straightforward way to do this would be to rely upon a suite of benchmarks. Unfortunately, there are many problems and limitations with this approach. Therefore, one is frequently forced to rely upon a combination of approaches. Unfortunately, many of the alternative approaches are all to frequently based on excessively simplistic approximations and extrapolations. This paper will discuss some of these issues so that the problems they can cause may be avoided in the future.

Building a Comprehensive Conceptual Framework for Power Systems Resilience Metrics
Recently, the frequency and severity of natural and man-made disasters (extreme events), which have a high-impact low-frequency (HILF) property, are increased. These disasters can lead to extensive outages, damages, and costs in electric power systems. A power system must be built with “resilience” against disasters, which means its ability to withstand disasters efficiently while ensuring the ...
متن کاملA Parallel Genetic Algorithm Based Method for Feature Subset Selection in Intrusion Detection Systems
Intrusion detection systems are designed to provide security in computer networks, so that if the attacker crosses other security devices, they can detect and prevent the attack process. One of the most essential challenges in designing these systems is the so called curse of dimensionality. Therefore, in order to obtain satisfactory performance in these systems we have to take advantage of app...
متن کاملParallel Computing: Performance Metrics and Models
We review the many performance metrics that have been proposed for parallel systems (i.e., program { architecture combinations). These include the many variants of speedup, eeciency, and isoeeciency. We give reasons why none of these metrics should be used independent of the run time of the parallel system. The run time remains the dominant metric and the remaining metrics are important only to...

متن کاملDiagnosing Performance Problems in Parallel File Systems
This work describes and compares two black-box approaches, using syscall statistics and OS-level performance metrics, to automatically diagnose different performance problems in parallel file systems. Both approaches rely on peer-comparison diagnosis to compare statistical attributes of relevant metrics across servers in order to indict the culprit node. An observation-based checklist is develo...
