HINT (Hierarchical INTegration Benchmarking)

Abstract

HINT removes the need for pseudo-work measures such as "Mflop/s" or "MIPS." It reveals memory bandwidth and memory regimes, and runs on any memory size. The scalability of HINT allows it to compare computing as slow as hand calculation to computing as fast as the largest supercomputers. It ports to every sequential and parallel programming environment with very little effort, permitting fair but low-cost comparison of any architecture capable of digital arithmetic.
