Outline of the CTP calculation method CTP is a measure of computational performance given in Mtops. In calculating the CTP of an aggregation of CEs the following three steps are required: Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each CE; Apply the word length adjustment (L) to the effective calculating rate (R), resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP) for each CE.; If there is more than one CE, combine the TPs resulting in a CTP for the aggregation. Details for these steps are given in the following sections. For aggregations of multiple CEs which have both shared and unshared memory subsystems, the calculation of CTP is completed hierarchically, in two steps: first, aggregate the group of CEs sharing memory, second calculate the CTP of the groups using the calculation method for multiple CEs not sharing memory. CEs that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g. disk drive, communication and video display controllers) are not aggregated into the CTP calculation.
