Bottleneckology: evaluating supercomputers
Jack Worlton · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1985
Evaluating supercomputer performance is more difficult than evaluating performance for other types of computers because of the wide range of performances encountered. Depending on the purpose of the evaluation, methods of evaluation can be used that trade off level of effort and accuracy, including rules of thumb, analytical models, testing, and simulation.
