Abstract:The computing capacities required for STAR are large and challenging. In order to plan for a computing facility which is able to provide sufficient resources one has to find a measure to define a common reference point. This measure should be platform independent, i.e. one should be able to estimate the processing power on every architecture in question. This note gives a brief overview of commonly used benchmarks and their relations.
