I'm clearly going to have to ponder this in some depth. While I've thought about trying to get the maths (statistics) right, I've not really given the nitty gritty of the machine's operation a great deal of thought.
Well, there you have it. I'd love to have your expertise on statistics
I claim none! I've been trying to learn as I go - perhaps a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!
plus Matthias Troyer, et al. test harness be combined in an easy to use benchmarking library.
Be careful what you wish for, it might come true... ;-)
Benchmarking is such a black art :-) !
I totally agree! Like presumably many others, this appeared to me to be a trivial problem - at first sight. In fact it's anything but straightforward. I bet there are half a dozen or so PhDs sitting in this particular dark recess of computing.
Well, I normally use a tool like vtune running the code on real data. Do you think such a tool is unreliable? -Thorsten
