AMD Opteron™ Processor Benchmarking for Clustered Systems
Benchmarks seek to provide comparative results—a quantitative analysis of disparate systems performing similar computational tasks. The benchmarking effort typically attempts to set performance expectations of real world tasks. However, to achieve objective results, each benchmark is limited in the scope of its measurements. Some benchmarks emphasize raw floating-point operations per second, while others measure memory access latency and bandwidth, while others script a particular workload in a specific application. Because applications are diverse and more complex than a combination of metrics, no single benchmark is a metric of a processor’s ability to perform real-world computation.
