Abstract

Basic techniques for measuring the performance of parallel computers with distributed memory are considered. The results obtained via the de-facto standard LINPACK benchmark suite are shown to be weakly related to the efficiency of applied parallel programs. As a result, models and methods of macro-piping computations proposed by V. M. Glushkov in the late 1970s become topical again. These results are presented in the context of the modern architecture of cluster complexes.
