Abstract

This paper presents a new formulation of the isoefficiency function which can be applied to parallel systems executing balanced or unbalanced workloads. This new formulation allows analyzing the scalability of parallel systems under either balanced or unbalanced workloads. Finally, the validity of this new metric is evaluated using some synthetic benchmarks. The experimental results allow assessing the importance of considering the unbalanced workloads while analyzing the scalability of parallel systems.
