HBJ model
In computer science, the Helman-Bader-JaJa model [1] is a concise message-passing model of parallel computing defined with the following parameters:
- is number of processors.
- is the problem size.
- is number of machine words in a packet sent over the network.
- is the latency, or time at which a processor takes to initiate a communication on a network.
- is the bandwidth, or time per machine word at which a processor can inject or receive machine words from the network.
- is the largest computation time expended on a processor.
- is the time spent in communication on the network.
This model assumes that for any subset of processors, a block permutation among the processors takes time, where is the size of the largest block.
