A 3D benchmark tests the maximum capabilities of graphics hardware and can be done with benchmarking software or in a real application. Different types of tests can be performed, but raw numbers may not determine real-world performance. Using a real-world program for benchmarking may not access the full functionality of a graphics card. Benchmark software […]
The LINPACK benchmark measures computer speed by solving linear equations. There are three benchmarks: LINPACK Fortran n=100, LINPACK n=1000, and Highly Parallel Computing. The results are published in a report and compared to other systems. LAPACK has replaced LINPACK in some applications. A LINPACK benchmark is a way to measure the speed of a computer. […]
Investors use benchmark indices to compare the performance of their investment portfolios over time. Different indices are used for stocks, bonds, and commodities, with popular indices including the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Mutual funds can mimic these indices. A benchmark is a standard reference point used to […]
