Abstract

PARCBench is a non-synthetic, multi-component benchmark written in C and directed at Unix-based shared-memory multiprocessor architectures. Unlike most conventional benchmarks PARCBench generates multivariate data to produce a characterization of shared-memory architectures which necessarily goes beyond the single timing datum.
