Abstract:

This article examines various approaches to benchmarking and measuring sustainable performance in order to identify long-term high performance companies in South Africa. We set guidelines and select the criteria for benchmarking high performance. This benchmarking approach (based on the accessibility and reliability of standardized financial data) addresses the critical issues in the measurement of sustainable performance: benchmarking approaches, measuring strategic performance, finding the right guidelines for peer performance benchmarks, calibrating sustainability and long-term performance,

The HEPiX Benchmarking Working Group has devised a new HEPspecific benchmark, HEPscore23. This benchmark is an instance of the underlying benchmarking tool that is HEPscore, also created by the Working Group during this endeavor. HEPscore can be set up to run different HEP Workloads, autonomous production applications sourced from various HEP experiments. Through study and analysis, a subset of those workloads was elected, the minimal set that best represented HEP applications overall. To streamline the benchmarking process, this benchmarking framework includes the HEP Benchmark Suite, which f

Abstract:

AbstractEstimates for small areas defined by social, demographic, and geographic variables are increasingly important for official statistics. To overcome problems of small sample sizes, statisticians usually derive model-based estimates. When aggregated, however, the model- based estimates typically do not agree with aggregate estimates (benchmarks) obtained through more direct methods. This lack of agreement between estimates can be problematic for users of small area estimates. Benchmarking methods have been widely used to enforce agreement.

Abstract:

Abstract Land surface models require continuous validation against observations to improve and reduce simulation uncertainty. However, inferred model performance can be heavily influenced by subjective choices made in the selection and application of observational data products. A key area often misrepresented by models is the Arctic–Boreal region, which is a potential tipping point region in Earth’s climate system due to large permafrost carbon stocks that are vulnerable to release with climate warming.

The multiplicity of existing software and component alternatives for web applications, especially in open source communities, has boosted interest in suitable benchmarks, able to assist in the selection of candidate solutions, concerning several quality attributes.

Traditional vulnerability/attack detection techniques can hardly be used alone to benchmark security, as security depends on hidden vulnerabilities and subtle properties of the system and its environment.

Quantum computing systems need to be benchmarked in terms of practical tasks they would be expected to do.

We quantify the performance of a quantum computing system in running circuits from these classes using several figures of merit, all of which require exponential classical

AbstractNon-governmental organisations use benchmarks as a form of symbolic violence to place political pressure on firms, states, and international organisations.

Abstract:

Every designer of a new data structure wants to know how well it performs in comparison with others. But finding, coding and testing applications as benchmarks can be tedious and time-consuming. Besides, how a benchmark uses a data structure may considerably affect its apparent efficiency, so the choice of applications may bias the results. We address these problems by developing a tool for inductive benchmarking. This tool, Auburn, can generate benchmarks across a wide distribution of uses. We precisely define ‘the use of a data structure’, upon which we build the core algorithms of Auburn: h

Benchmarking of CPU resources in WLCG has been based on the HEP-SPEC06 (HS06) suite for over a decade.

The aim of the HEP-Benchmarks project is to develop a new benchmark suite for WLCG compute resources, based on real applications from the LHC experiments. By construction, these new benchmarks are thus guaranteed to have a score highly correlated to the throughputs of HEP applications, and a CPU usage pattern similar to theirs.

Fully synthetic data usually consists of outliers and regular instances with clear characteristics and thus allows for a more meaningful evaluation of detection methods in principle.

This might be due to the imprecise notion of outliers or to the difficulty to arrive at a good coverage of different domains with synthetic da

Abstract:

Benchmarking is crucial for evaluating a DBMS, yet existing benchmarks often fail to reflect the varied nature of user workloads. As a result, there is increasing momentum toward creating databases that incorporate real-world user data to more accurately mirror business environments. However, privacy concerns deter users from directly sharing their data, underscoring the importance of creating synthesized databases for benchmarking that also prioritize privacy protection. Differential privacy (DP)-based data synthesis has become a key method for safeguarding privacy when sharing data, but the

Abstract:

Purpose – The paper aims to develop a benchmarking framework to address issues such as supply chain complexity and visibility, geographical differences and non-standardized data, ensuring that the entire supply chain environmental impact (in terms of carbon) and resource use for all tiers, including domestic and import flows, are evaluated. Benchmarking has become an important issue in supply chain management practice. However, challenges such as supply chain complexity and visibility, geographical differences and non-standardized data have limited the development of approaches for evaluating

Abstract:

Benchmarking is a strategic management tool that can help to gain competitive advantage, but the question is how to decide the relevant practice exemplars to be used as role models. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a very helpful method for tracking corresponding benchmarks, but the question remains of how to record them when performance is fluctuating and unstable, as is the case in a transition period to an open market. To address this issue a new DEA-based tool is proposed, the Corresponding Benchmark Matrix (CBM), which helps to reveal ?leader? countries and the most suitable benchmarks

Abstract:

To demonstrate that nuclear reactors can be built faster and more economically than they have been in the past, the US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy is sponsoring the development of a small nuclear reactor called the Transformational Challenge Reactor (TCR) [1–2]. An important part of the design and licencing process of a new reactor is validation of the software used to analyze the reactor using established reactor physics benchmarks. This paper discusses validation of the neutronics software used to model four preliminary designs of the TCR core [2]. Because the TCR core desi

Abstract:

A plethora of question answering (QA) systems that retrieve answers to natural language questions from knowledge graphs have been developed in recent years. However, choosing a benchmark to accurately assess the quality of a question answering system is a challenging task due to the high degree of variations among the available benchmarks with respect to their fine-grained properties. In this demonstration, we introduce CBench, an extensible, and more informative benchmarking suite for analyzing benchmarks and evaluating QA systems. CBench can be used to analyze existing benchmarks with respec

Abstract:

Quantum computers are rapidly becoming more capable, with dramatic increases in both qubit count \cite{kim2023evidence} and quality \cite{moses2023race}. Among different hardware approaches, trapped-ion quantum processors are a leading technology for quantum computing, with established high-fidelity operations and architectures with promising scaling. Here, we demonstrate and thoroughly benchmark the IonQ Forte system: configured as a single-chain 30-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer with all-to-all operations. We assess the performance of our quantum computer operation at the component level

Abstract:

Due to the fast advancement in large language models (LLMs), the natural language processing (NLP) technology domain has witnessed a massive change. It has brought ground breaking developments in how machines understand and generate human language. However, even with these advancements, it remains hard to objectively compare and evaluate LLMs' performance because various benchmarks and metrics are used in the assessment. Such a method requires this study's writers to conduct a comparative analysis of various benchmark LLMs to explain the viability of different evaluation metrics. Analyzing the
