Execution-Cache-Memory Performance Model: Introduction and Validation (1509.03118v3)
Published 10 Sep 2015 in cs.DC and cs.PF
Abstract: This report serves two purposes: To introduce and validate the Execution-Cache-Memory (ECM) performance model and to provide a thorough analysis of current Intel processor architectures with a special emphasis on Intel Xeon Haswell-EP. The ECM model is a simple analytical performance model which focuses on basic architectural resources. The architectural analysis and model predictions are showcased and validated using a set of elementary microbenchmarks.
