The rapidly growing number of large network analysis problems has led to the emergence of many parallel and distributed graph processing systems—one survey in 2014 identified over 80. Determining the best approach for a given problem is infeasible for most developers. We present an approach and associated software for analyzing the performance and scalability of parallel, open-source graph libraries...
The library remote information services of higher educational establishments of America are analysed. The study is based on benchmarking and weights of alternatives methods that allow to identify the group of library leaders in providing quality information services.
This paper introduces a publicly available historical manuscript database DIVA-HisDB for the evaluation of several Document Image Analysis (DIA) tasks. The database consists of 150 annotated pages of three different medieval manuscripts with challenging layouts. Furthermore, we provide a layout analysis ground-truth which has been iterated on, reviewed, and refined by an expert in medieval studies...
The increasing usage of third-party software and complexity of modern software systems makes dependability, in particular robustness against faulty code, an ever more important concern. To compare and quantitatively assess the dependability of different software systems, dependability benchmarks are needed. We present a configurable tool for dependability benchmarking, Hovac, which uses DLL API hooking...
In order to optimally deploy their applications, users of Infrastructure-as-a-Service clouds are required to evaluate the costs and performance of different combinations of cloud configurations to find out which combination provides the best service level for their specific application. Unfortunately, benchmarking cloud services is cumbersome and error-prone. In this paper, we propose an architecture...
In this paper, we present an performance evaluation of a 256-core cluster based on the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2680. This is the new version of Sandy Bridge processor for server and workstation market. It employs an integrated memory controller, dual Intel Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) port and integrated PCIe 3.0 controller. We assessed these architectural enhancements using the High Performance...
This paper describes on some guidelines important for the writing of a benchmarking report for engineering degree programmes in Malaysia. The guidelines are written solely based on the requirements necessary for the accreditation of engineering degree programmes as outlined by the Engineering Accreditation Council. The guidelines will provide sufficient help/reference to institutions in writing a...
With the introduction of the TI-09 platforms at the DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs), users now have access to significantly faster and larger systems for their computations, including the first systems with greater than 10,000 cores. We wanted to benchmark these latest systems and compare to the older platforms while assessing their computational environments.
Discrete gate sizing is one of the most commonly used, flexible, and powerful techniques for digital circuit optimization. The underlying problem has been proven to be NP-hard. Several (suboptimal) gate sizing heuristics have been proposed over the past two decades, but research has suffered from the lack of any systematic way of assessing the quality of the proposed algorithms. We develop a method...
This paper focuses on the design of an ultra low power 8-bit microcontroller for wireless biomedical sensors using advanced low power techniques such as Operand Isolation, Clock-Gating, Multi-Threshold Voltage and Power Gating. In addition, we have conducted a study based on the area, timing performances and power consumptions by benchmarking different low power design techniques. These statistical...
In this paper we present work towards the benchmarking of mobile manipulation algorithms. We review the current state-of-the art in mobile manipulation and analyze the most prominent algorithms concerning common structures and sub-components. We propose and implement harmonized interfaces for those components, building upon existing software frameworks and libraries. The foundation on the same subcomponents...
With wide adoption of multi-core processor based systems, there is a need for benchmarking such systems at both application and operating system levels. Developing benchmarks for multi-core systems is a cumbersome task due to underlying parallel architecture and complexity of parallel programming paradigms. In this paper, we introduce multi-core processor architecture and communication (MPAC) benchmarking...
