•To state how ZPL
performs operations, each operator’s work and communication needs are given …
producing a performance model
–Performance
is given in terms of the CTA
–Performance
is relative, e.g. x is more expensive in communication than y
•Rules…
–A + B -- Element-size array operations
•No
communication
•Work
comparable to C
•Work
fully parallelizable, i.e. time = work/P
