Performance Assessment
Evaluation by Melanie Fulgham
Chaos and Elko networks simulated at flit level
"Batched means" method for computing 95% confidence intervals
Expected throughput -- proportion of the network bisection bandwidth utilized
Expected latency -- a packet's injection-to-delivery time, exclusive of source queueing
Learmonth-Lewis prime-modulus, multiplicative congruential pseudo-random number generator
Random: all destinations equally likely, including self
Permutations: transpose, bit-reversal, complement, perfect shuffle
Hot spots: 10 positions 4x more likely to be a destination
