英文摘要 | Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems have gained popular acceptance by combining the scalability and low cost of distributed system with the ease of use of single address space. Many new hardware DSM and software DSM systems have been proposed in recent years. In general, benchmarking is widely used to demonstrate the performance advantages of new systems. However, the common method used to summarize the measured results is the arithmetic mean of ratios, which is incorrect in some cases. Furthermore, many published papers list a lot of data only, and do not summarize them effectively, which confuse users greatly. In fact, many users want to get a single number as conclusion, which is not provided in old summarizing techniques. Therefore, a new data-summarizing technique based on confidence interval is proposed in this paper. The new technique includes two data-summarizing methods: (1) paired confidence interval method; (2) unpaired confidence interval method. With this new technique, it is concluded that at some confidence one system is better than others. Four examples are shown to demonstrate the advantages of this new technique. Furthermore, with the help of confidence level, it is proposed to standardize the benchmarks used for evaluating DSM systems so that a convincing result can be got. In addition, the new summarizing technique fits not only for evaluating DSM systems, but also for evaluating other systems, such as memory system and communication systems. |
