Technics For Computer Performance Analysis [técnicas Para Análise De Desempenho De Computadores]

A series of open source benchmarks for computer performance analysis of personal computers with a focus on computational chemistry calculations is presented. The results returned by these tests are discussed and used to correlate with the actual performance of a set of computers available for research on two computing intensive fields of chemistry, quantum chemical and molecular simulation calculations.251117122Dowd, K., (1993) High Performance Computing, , O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.Sebastopol, Ca, EUA, 1 edDongarra, J., (1998) The Linpack Benchmark, , http://www.netlib.org, UTK & Netlib(1989) Systems Performance Evaluation Cooperative, , http://www.spe.corgTorvalds, L., (1995) GNU/Linux The Debian Distribution, , http://www.debian.org(1992) The FreeBSD Project, , http://www.freebsd.orgBecker, D., Mecker, P., (2000) The Beowulf Project, , http://www.beowulf.org, Scyld Computing CorporationHenry, G., (1997) ASCI Red Pentium II BLAS 1.2F, , http://www.cs.utk.edu/ghenry/distrib, ASCI Red Project ArchivesDongarra, J., (1999) ATLAS Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software, , http://www.netlib.org/atlas, University of Tenesee KentuckyBilmes, J., Asanovi, K., Demmel, J., Lam, D., Chin, C., (1996) PHiPAC: A Portable, High-Performance, ANSI C Coding Methodology and its Application to Matrix Multiply, , LAPACK Working Note 111, University of TennesseeBilmes, J.A., Asanovic, K., Vudoc, R., Iyer, S., Demmel, J., Chin, C., Lam, D., (1997) The PHiPAC, Portable High Performance ANSI C for BLAS3 Compatible Fast Matrix Matrix Multiply, , http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/bilmes/phipac, UCBAburto, A., (1992) Flops.c Version 2.0, , ftp://ftp.nosc.mil/pub/aburto(1993) The GNU Project C and C++ Compiler, , http://www.gnu.org, Cambridge, MA, EUAMcCalpin, J.D., IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA) Newsletter 1995, , http://www.computer.org/tab/tcca/NEWS/DEC95/DEC95.HTMMcCalpin, J.D., (1995) STREAM: Sustainable Memory Bandwidth, , http://www.cs.virginia.edu/streamBray, T., (1991) Bonnie, A Filesystem Benchmark, , ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/benchmark/Bonnie/Bonnie.tar.ZNorcott, W.D., Capps, D., (2000) IOzone, Filesystem Benchmark, , http://www.iozone.orgLehey, G., (1999) Test Performance of Low-level Storage Devices, , ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/rawio-1.1.tar.gzBass, T., (1991) The BYTE Benchmark Suite, , ftp://ftp.inria.fr/system/benchmark/bytebench-3.1.tar.ZMcCormick, B., Aburto, A., (1998) Benchmarking, , http://www.nswc.navy.mil/cosip/may98/cots0598-1.shtmlPabst, T., (2000) Tom's Hardware Guides, , http://www.tomshardware.com/#guidesSchmidt, M.W., Baldridge, K.K., Boatz, J.A., Elbert, S.T., Gordon, M.S., Jensen, J.H., Koseki, S., Montgomery, J.A., (1993) J.
