Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP)

The following table shows the method of calculating the effective calculating rate (R) for each computing element:

For computing elements (CEs) implementing:	Effective calculating rate, R
XP only (Rxp)	$13(txp add)$ if no add is implemented use: $1(txp mult)$ If neither add nor multiply is implemented use the fastest available arithmetic operation as follows: $13txp$ See Notes X & Z
FP only (Rfp)	Max $1tfp add,1tfp mult$ See Notes X & Y
Both FP and XP (R)	Calculate both Rxp, Rfp
For simple logic processors not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations.	$13*tlog$ Where tlog is the execution time of the XOR, or for logic hardware not implementing the XOR, the fastest simple logic operation. See Notes X & Z
For special logic processors not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations.	$R=R'*WL/64$ Where R' is the number of results per second, WL is the number of bits upon which the logic operation occurs, and 64 is a factor to normalize to a 64 bit operation.

Note X:

For CEs which perform multiple arithmetic operations of a specific type in a single cycle (e.g., two additions per cycle), the execution time t is given by:

$t=cycle timethe number of arithmetic operations per machine cycle$

CEs which perform different types of arithmetic operations in a single machine cycle are to be treated as multiple separate CEs performing simultaneously (e.g., a CE performing an addition and a multiplication in one cycle is to be treated as two CEs, the first performing an addition in one cycle and the second performing a multiplication in one cycle).

If a single CE has both scalar function and vector function, use larger value.

Note Y:

If no FP add or FP multiply are implemented, but the CE performs FP divide:

$Rfp;=1tfpdivide;$

Note Z:

In simple logic operations, a single instruction performs a single logic manipulation of no more than two operands of given lengths. In complex logic operations, a single instruction performs multiple logic manipulations to produce one or more results from two or more operands. Rates should be calculated for all supported operand lengths, using the fastest executing instruction for each operand length based on:

• (1) Register—to—register. Exclude extraordinarily short execution times generated for operations on a predetermined operand or operands (for example, multiplication by 0 or 1). If no register—to—register operations are implemented, continue with 2.

• (2) The faster of register—to—memory or memory—to—register operations; if these also do not exist, then continue with 3.

• (3) Memory—to—memory. In each case above, use the shortest execution time certified by the manufacturer.

Note:

The word length WL used in these calculations is the operand length in bits. (If an operation uses operands of different lengths, select the largest word length.)

Each special logic processor not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations.

CTP for CPUs and aggregations of CEs

• For a CPU with a single CE,

• CTP = TP

• (for CEs performing both fixed and floating point operations TP = max (TPfp;, TPxp;))

• For aggregations of multiple CEs operating simultaneously:

• Note 1:For configurations which do not allow all of the CEs to run simultaneously, the configuration of permissible CEs that provides the largest CTP should be used. The TP of each contributing CE is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the CTP of the combination is derived.

• Note 2:A single integrated circuit chip or board assembly may contain multiple CEs.

• Note 3:Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer. $CTP=TP1+C2&TP2+. . .+Cn&TPn,$ where TP₁ is the highest of the TPs, and Ci is a coefficient determined by the strength of the interconnection between CEs, as follows:

For multiple CEs sharing memory:

$C2=C3=C4.=Cn=0·75$

Note:CEs share memory if they access a common segment of solid state memory. This memory may include cache storage, main storage, or other internal memory. Peripheral memory devices such as disk drives, tape drives or RAM disks are not included.

For multiple CEs not sharing memory, interconnected by one or more data channels:

$$Ci=8Si(WLiTPi)$ where (i = 2, . . ., n) Si = sum of the maximum data rates (in units of MByte/sec) for all data channels connected to the ith; CE or CPU,$

Note: This does not include channels dedicated to transfers between one individual processor and its most immediate memory or related equipment.

WLi is the operand length for which TPi was obtained, and the factor 8 normalizes Si (measured in bytes per second) and WL (given in bits).

Note: If Ci exceeds 0·75, the formula for CE/CPU sharing direct addressable memory applies (i.e., Ci cannot exceed 0·75).
