PIV and WPIV: Performance Index For Heterogeneous Systems Evaluation

Abstract

This article presents two new performance indices (PIV - performance index vector and WPIV - weighted performance index vector), to evaluate heterogeneous computing systems, based on a Euclidian metric. Aiming to maximize the use of the machines, the proposed indices are a combination of several usual indices and the results of their evaluation through a simulator show an appropriate behavior for different kinds of applications
