For example, one can interpret a load average of "1.73 0.60 7.98" on a single-CPU system as: During the last minute, the system was overloaded by 73% on average (1.73 runnable processes, so that 0.73 processes had to wait for a turn for a single CPU system on average). During the last 5 minutes, the CPU was idling 40% of the time, on average.
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.
On the other hand, hand-tuned assembly language programs using MMX or AltiVec extensions and performing data prefetches (as a good video encoder might) do not suffer from cache misses or idle computing resources. Such programs therefore do not benefit from hardware multithreading and can indeed see degraded performance due to contention for ...
With 20 processors, it would take 5 clock cycles per image. Each processor can be utilized for 100% of its available time but the result of each pixel-computation needs to be communicated and aggregated at the end of each image processing which can cause a lot of overhead (100 communications per image = 2000 total).
On the other hand, if a new user starts a process on the system, the scheduler will reapportion the available CPU cycles such that each user gets 20% of the whole (100% / 5 = 20%). Another layer of abstraction allows us to partition users into groups, and apply the fair share algorithm to the groups as well.
Time redundancy, performing the same operation multiple times such as multiple executions of a program or multiple copies of data transmitted; Software redundancy such as N-version programming; A modified form of software redundancy, applied to hardware may be: Distinct functional redundancy, such as both mechanical and hydraulic braking in a car.
The woman adds that she thinks her sister-in-law might've brought the dish in several containers to "cut the 'good parts.' " The woman and her mother agreed to disagree, however, and the ...
