Evaluating the parallel performance of a heterogeneous system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heterogeneous parallel systems are becoming increasingly more common, especially with the increasing use of cluster computers, such as Beowulf systems, and networks of workstations for parallel computing. Measuring and evaluating the performance of such parallel systems is not straightforward. In particular, conventional techniques such as computing speedup and efficiency are not appropriate for evaluating the performance of a heterogeneous system, and even have their limitations for homogeneous systems. This paper looks at alternative ways of measuring and evaluating the parallel performance of a heterogeneous system, such as linear speed, and extends this with the concept of linear efficiency.

Parallel computing using MPI and OpenMP on self-configured platform, UMZHPC.
Parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.In this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using MPI and OpenMP programming languages based on set of networked PCs. UMZHPC is a free Linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to cr...
متن کاملPresenting a New Model for Bank’s Supply Chain Performance Evaluating with DEA Solution Approach
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. The traditional DEA treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. This carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...
متن کاملA New Continuous Multi-State Reliability Model with Time Dependent Component Performance Rate
A CSS1†is a system with the continues-state components. When a component has the ability to obtain all the situations from completely working to completely failed, it named continues-state component. In the real world, performance rate of elements are continuous and decrease by time. Continuity of components causes infinite working states and grows up the system states. In this paper we propose...
