Predict the effectiveness of a general purpose machine using a small
collection of inner loops which you think are typical of your applications
Examples:
- The Livermore Loops
- LINPACK
- McCalpin's STREAM benchmark (?)
Problems:
- Real applications may have very different innermost loops
- Future applications may differ from applications studied
at purchase time
- Real applications may not be dominated by loops
