  2. CPU-bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-bound

    Establishing that a computer is frequently CPU-bound implies that upgrading the CPU or optimizing code will improve the overall computer performance. With the advent of multiple buses, parallel processing, multiprogramming , preemptive scheduling, advanced graphics cards , advanced sound cards and generally, more decentralized loads, it became ...

  3. Floating point operations per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point_operations...

    NEC's SX-9 supercomputer was the world's first vector processor to exceed 100 gigaFLOPS per single core. In June 2006, a new computer was announced by Japanese research institute RIKEN, the MDGRAPE-3. The computer's performance tops out at one petaFLOPS, almost two times faster than the Blue Gene/L, but MDGRAPE-3 is not a general purpose ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECint

    The time it takes the reference machine to run the benchmark is 9770 seconds. [1] Thus the ratio is 4.885. Each ratio is computed, and then the geometric mean of those ratios is computed to produce an overall value.

  5. Benchmark (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benchmark_(computing)

    A graphical demo running as a benchmark of the OGRE engine. In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.

  6. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

    A CPU cache [71] is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory. A cache is a smaller, faster memory, closer to a processor core, which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations.

    SPECsfs2008 is the latest version of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation benchmark suite measuring file server throughput and response time, providing a standardized method for comparing performance across different vendor platforms. EMC DSSD D5 Flash Up to [neutrality is disputed] 10 million IOPS [31] [non-primary source needed]

  9. Load (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)

    In UNIX computing, the system load is a measure of the amount of computational work that a computer system performs. The load average represents the average system load over a period of time. It conventionally appears in the form of three numbers which represent the system load during the last one-, five-, and fifteen-minute periods.
