Inteconnection Network Performance Assessment
One could use the software below to study the communication
and synchronization performance of a processor interconnection network.
One could thus establish the Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model
parameters for the underlying network/parallel hardware.
The code is written in ANSI C and works under both BSPlib (a
BSP specific library) and LAM-MPI (an implementation of MPI). If
run on a particular machine, it generates
enough information to allow someone
to estimate the parameters L and g of the BSP model for that
particular machine. Also included as a separate tar file is a
(very simple) benchmarking program that does matrix multiplication.
