A graphical demo running as a benchmark of the OGRE engine. In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.
Benchmarking is sometimes referred to as 'post-stratification' because of its similarities to stratified sampling.The difference between the two is that in stratified sampling, we decide in advance how many units will be sampled from each stratum (equivalent to benchmarking cells); in benchmarking, we select units from the broader population, and the number chosen from each cell is a matter of ...
Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...
Today's term: benchmarks. You probably think of a benchmark as simply a baseline for comparison, something you can measure performance or judge quality against -- and if so, you're right. But if ...
In applied mathematics, test functions, known as artificial landscapes, are useful to evaluate characteristics of optimization algorithms, such as convergence rate, precision, robustness and general performance.
The term benchmark, originates from the history of guns and ammunition, in regards to the same aim as for the business term: comparison and improved performance. The introduction of gunpowder arms replaced the bow and arrow from the archer, who now had to learn to handle a gun.
Due to hardware typically not supporting 16-bit half-precision floats, neural networks often use the bfloat16 format, which is the single precision float format truncated to 16 bits. If the hardware has instructions to compute half-precision math, it is often faster than single or double precision.
Benchmark (surveying), a point of known elevation marked for the purpose of surveying; Benchmarking (geolocating), an activity involving finding benchmarks; Benchmark (computing), the result of running a computer program to assess performance; Benchmark, a best-performing, or gold standard test in medicine and statistics
