Statistical Analysis of NAS Parallel Benchmarks and LINPACK Results

摘要

In the last three years extensive performance data have been reported for parallel machines both based on the NAS Parallel Benchmarks [1] [2] and on LINPACK [3]. In this study we have used the reported benchmark results and performed a number of statistical experiments. These included cluster, factor and regression analyses, as well as fitting Amdahl's Law to the data. All statistical experiments were done for absolute performances as well as for the corresponding efficiencies.
