Abstract

The HINT Benchmark was developed to provide a broad-spectrum metric for computers, and to measure performance over the full range of memory sizes and time scales. We have extended our understanding of why HINT performance curves look the way they do, and can now predict the curves using an analytical model based on simple hardware specifications as input parameters.
