Benchmarking: una técnica para la evaluación rápida de computadores

1994 
espanolLa tecnica de benchmarking se utiliza cada vez mas para evaluar de forma rapida las prestaciones de un computador. Frecuentemente aparecen publicadas tablas en las que se comparan difierentes computadores entre si a partir de los resultados obtenidos con determinados benchmarks. Sin embargo, para interpretar correctamente estos resultados es necesario conocer las caracteristicas del benchmark utilizado asi como las caracteristicas del entorno en el que se han tomado las medidas. Este articulo es una introduccion al concepto de benchmarking como tecnica de evaluacion de computadores. Se describen las caracteristicas generales que debe tener un benchmark y las caracteristicas particulares de los benchmarks de tipo numerico mas utilizados en la actualidad (whetstones, dbrystones, livermoore loops, linkpack, SPEC, SLALOM, Perfect Club, CPEP, NAS). EnglishBenchmarking is a technique to evaluate very quickly the performance of a computer. Very often, tables are published in which different computers are compared using the results obtained through a given benchmark. However, to interpret correctly those results, it is important to understand the characteristics of the used benchmark as well as the characteristics of the environment in which the measurements were carried out. This paper is an introduction to the concept of benchmarking as a technique for computer evaluation. The general characteristics which should posses a benchmark are described as well as the particular characteristics of the more frenquently used benchmarks (whetstones, dhrystones, livermoore loops, linkpack, SPEC, SLALOM, Perfect Club, CPEP, NAS).
