Benchmarking the benchmarking models

Benchmarking, 2008
PurposeA review of benchmarking literature revealed that there are different types of benchmarking and a plethora of benchmarking process models. In some cases, a model has been uniquely developed for performing a particular type of benchmarking. This poses the following problems: it can create confusion among the users as to whether they should use ...

Benchmarking HRM and the benchmarking of benchmarking

Employee Relations, 2000
Organisations with low absenteeism and low turnover can be distinguished from organisations with high absenteeism and turnover through the identification and implementation of sophisticated and strategic best practices such as benchmarking relative cost position, developing a corporate ethic, valuing the negotiation of an enterprise agreement, and not ...

Liquid benchmarks

Proceedings of the 11th annual international ACM/IEEE joint conference on Digital libraries, 2011
Experimental evaluation and comparison of techniques, algorithms or complete systems is a crucial requirement to assess the practical impact of research results. The quality of published experimental results is usually limited due to several reasons such as: limited time, unavailability of standard benchmarks or shortage of computing resources ...

TO BEnchmark or NOT TO BEnchmark security: That is the question

2011 IEEE/IFIP 41st International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks Workshops (DSN-W), 2011
The multiplicity of available software and component alternatives has boosted the interest in suitable benchmarks, able to assist in the selection of candidate solutions from the existing diversity, concerning several attributes. The huge success of performance and dependability benchmarking, however, markedly contrasts with the small advances on ...

Benchmarks in the Cloud: The mOSAIC Benchmarking Framework

2012 14th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing, 2012
A natural consequence of the pay-per-use business model of Cloud Computing, is that Cloud Users need to evaluate and compare different cloud providers in order to choose the best offerings in terms of trade-off among performance and prices. But this is, at the state of art, one of the main lack in the cloud environment: no real grants are offered by ...

Benchmarking for Craniosynostosis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2007
The quality of care for craniofacial malformations is thought to be improved through benchmarking. The benchmarking process identifies the best practice within the participating centers and leads to new protocols and guidelines, which are implemented by the participants. It also allows for comparison of outcome between the various centers.

Benchmarking the Benchmarks

2002
Abstract : Benchmarks can be useful in estimating the performance of a computer system when it is not possible or practical to test out the new system with an actual workload. In the field of high performance computing, some common benchmarks are the various versions of Linpack, the various versions of the Numerical Aerospace Simulation Systems ...

A Benchmark Characterization of the EEMBC Benchmark Suite

IEEE Micro, 2009
Benchmark consumers expect benchmark suites to be complete, accurate, and consistent, and benchmark scores serve as relative measures of performance. however, it is important to understand how benchmarks stress the processors that they aim to test.

Regression benchmarking with simple middleware benchmarks

IEEE International Conference on Performance, Computing, and Communications, 2004, 2004
The paper introduces the concept of regression benchmarking as a variant of regression testing focused at detecting performance regressions. Applying the regression benchmarking in the area of middleware development, the paper explains how regression benchmarking differs from middleware benchmarking in general. On a real-world example of TAO, the paper
