Talk:Memory bandwidth

Untitled
"A variety of computer benchmarks exist to measure sustained memory bandwidth using a variety of access patterns."

What are these benchmarks? Where can I read about them?

Assuming this is not a blatant troll, you might perform a web search on keywords like "memory bandwidth benchmarks".

Most of the results will contain some reference to the STREAM benchmark. Other memory bandwidth benchmarks include CacheBench, LMbench, and "Sandra" (a commercial product from SiSoftware).

The methodology of benchmarking memory bandwidth has been the subject of a few academic papers, but unfortunately not very many. The methodology tends to be tied very closely to the specifics of various pieces of hardware and so does not have the theoretical impact typically expected for academic publications.
