Benchmark dos Array Processors FPS AP120B e NUMERIX MARS 432. Visando Aplicações Estatísticas
Resumo
Array processors são processadores periféricos de alto desempenho, capazes de aumentar consideravelmente a capacidade de computação do seu computador hospedeiro. O presente trabalho apresenta uma avaliação de desempenho dos array processors FPS AP-120B e NUMERIX MARS-432, visando aplicações estatísticas não convencionais. São descritas as razões para a escolha desses equipamentos, a arquitetura de cada array processor avaliado, o método adotado para realizar os testes e um resumo dos resultados obtidos.
