The Problem of Evaluating CPU-GPU Systems with 3D Visualization Applications.

Complex, computationally demanding 3D visualization applications can be used as benchmarks to evaluate CPU-GPU systems. However, because those applications are time dependent, their execution is not deterministic. Thus, measurements can vary from one execution to another. This article proposes a methodology that enforces the starting times of frames so that applications behave deterministically. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
