Benchmarks to Supplant Export 'FPDR' (Floating Point Data Rate) Calculations

摘要

Because modern computer architectures render application of the FPDR (Floating Point Data Processing Rate) increasingly difficult, there has been increased interest in export evaluation via actual system performances. The report discusses benchmarking of uniprocessor (usually vector) machines for scientific computation (SIMD array processors are not included), and parallel processing and its characterization for export control.
