Technical Note: The detonators of concern all utilise a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire or foil) that explosively vapourises when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding conductor starts a chemical detonation in a contacting high-explosive material such as PETN (Pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In slapper detonators, the explosive vapourisation of the electrical conductor drives a flyer or slapper across a gap and the impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven by a magnetic force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an EB or a slapper-type detonator. Also, the word initiator is sometimes used in place of the word detonator. |

| Mtops | millions of theoretical operations per second |
| R | effective calculating rate |

| Execution time ‘t’ is expressed in microseconds, TP and “CTP” are expressed in millions of theoretical operations per second (Mtops) and WL is expressed in bits. |
| Outline of the CTP calculation method CTP is a measure of computational performance given in Mtops. In calculating the CTP of an aggregation of CEs the following three steps are required: 1 Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each CE; 2 Apply the word length adjustment (L) to the effective calculating rate (R), resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP) for each CE; 3 If there is more than one CE, combine the TPs resulting in a CTP for the aggregation. Details for these steps are given in the following sections. -
Note 1: For aggregations of multiple CEs which have both shared and unshared memory subsystems, the calculation of CTP is completed hierarchically, in two steps: first, aggregate the group of CEs sharing memory, second calculate the CTP of the groups using the calculation method for multiple CEs not sharing memory. -
Note 2: CEs that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g. disk drive, communication and video display controllers) are not aggregated into the CTP calculation. The following table shows the method of calculating the effective calculating rate (R) for each CE: Step 1: The effective calculating rate R For CEs implementing Note: Every CE must be evaluated independently | Effective calculating rate, R |
|---|
| XP only | | | if no add is implemented use: | | (Rxp) | If neither add nor multiply is implemented use the fastest available arithmetic operation as follows: See Notes X & Z | | FP only (Rfp) | Max See Notes X & Y | | Both FP and XP (R) | Calculate both Rxp, Rfp | | For simple logic processors not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations. | Where See Notes X & Z | | For special logic processors not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations. | Where | Note W: For a pipelined CE capable of executing up to one arithmetic or logic operation every clock cycle after the pipeline is full, a pipelined rate can be established. The effective calculating rate (R) for such a CE is the faster of the pipelined rate or non-pipelined execution rate. Note X: For CEs which perform multiple operations of a specific type in a single cycle (e.g., two additions per cycle or two identical logic operations per cycle), the execution time t is given by: CEs which perform different types of arithmetic or logic operations in a single machine cycle are to be treated as multiple separate CEs performing simultaneously (e.g., a CE performing an addition and a multiplication in one cycle is to be treated as two CEs, the first performing an addition in one cycle and the second performing a multiplication in one cycle). If a single CE has both scalar function and vector function, use the shorter execution time value. Note Y: For the CE that does not implement FP add or FP multiply, but that performs FP divide: If the CE implements FP reciprocal but not FP add, FP multiply or FP divide, then If none of the specified instructions is implemented, the effective FP rate is 0. Note Z: In simple logic operations, a single instruction performs a single logic manipulation of no more than two operands of given lengths. In complex logic operations, a single instruction performs multiple logic manipulations to produce one or more results from two or more operands. -
Rates should be calculated for all supported operand lengths considering both pipelined operations (if supported), and non-pipelined operations using the fastest executing instruction for each operand length based on: - 1.
Pipelined or register-to-register operations. Exclude extraordinarily short execution times generated for operations on a predetermined operand or operands (for example, multiplication by 0 or 1). If no register-to-register operations are implemented, continue with (2). - 2.
The faster of register-to-memory or memory-to-register operations; if these also do not exist, then continue with (3). - 3.
-
In each case above, use the shortest execution time certified by the manufacturer. Step 2: TP for each supported operand length WL Adjust the effective rate R (or R') by the word length adjustment L as follows: where L (1/3 + WL/96) Note: The word length WL used in these calculations is the operand length in bits. (If an operation uses operands of different lengths, select the largest word length.) The combination of a mantissa ALU and an exponent ALU of a floating point processor or unit is considered to be one CE with a Word Length (WL) equal to the number of bits in the data representation (typically 32 or 64) for purposes of the CTP calculation. This adjustment is not applied to specialized logic processors which do not use XOR instructions. In this case TP = R. Select the maximum resulting value of TP for: -
Each XP-only CE (Rxp); -
Each FP-only CE (Rfp); -
Each combined FP and XP CE (R); -
Each simple logic processor not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations; and -
Each special logic processor not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations. Step 3: CTP for aggregations of CEs, including CPUs For a CPU with a single CE, (for CEs performing both fixed and floating point operations ) CTP for aggregations of multiple CEs operating simultaneously is calculated as follows: Note 1: For aggregations that do not allow all of the CEs to run simultaneously, the possible combination of CEs that provides the largest CTP should be used. The TP of each contributing CE is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the CTP of the combination is derived. -
N.B. To determine the possible combinations of simultaneously operating CEs, generate an instruction sequence that initiates operations in multiple CEs, beginning with the slowest CE (the one needing the largest number of cycles to complete its operation) and ending with the fastest CE. At each cycle of the sequence, the combination of CEs that are in operation during that cycle is a possible combination. The instruction sequence must take into account all hardware and/or architectural constraints on overlapping operations. Note 2: A single integrated circuit chip or board assembly may contain multiple CEs. Note 3: Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer. Note 4: CTP values are not to be aggregated for CE combinations (inter) connected by local area networks, Wide Area Networks, Input/Output shared connections/devices, Input/Output controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by software. Note 5: CTP values must be aggregated for multiple CEs specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory,—or multiple memory/CE—combinations operating simultaneously utilising specially designed hardware. This aggregation does not apply to assemblies described by entry 4A003d where -
the TPs are ordered by value, with TP1 being the highest, TP2 being the second highest,…, and TPn being the lowest. Ci is a coefficient determined by the strength of the interconnection between CEs, as follows: For multiple CEs operating simultaneously and sharing memory: Note 1: When the CTP calculated by the above method does not exceed 194 Mtops, the following formula may be used to calculate Ci: where m number of CEs or groups of CEs sharing access. provided: 1. The TPi of each CE or group of CEs does not exceed 30 Mtops; 2. The CEs or groups of CEs share access to main memory (excluding cache memory) over a single channel; and 3. Only one CE or group of CEs can have use of the channel at any given time. Note 2: CEs share memory if they access a common segment of solid state memory. This memory may include cache memory, main memory, or other internal memory. Peripheral memory devices such as disk drives, tape drives or RAM disks are not included. For Multiple CEs or groups of CEs not sharing memory, interconnected by one or more data channels: The value of Ci is based on the number of CEs, not the number of nodes. where k i min (Si/Kr, 1), and K r normalizing factor of 20 MByte/s S i sum of the maximum data rates (in units of MByte/s) for all data channels connected to the ihh CE or group of CEs sharing memory When calculating a Ci for a group of CEs, the number of the first CE in a group determines the proper limits for Ci. For example, in an aggregation of groups consisting of 3 CEs each, the 22nd group will contain CE64, CE65 and CE66. The proper limit for Ci for this group is 0.60. Aggregation (of CEs or groups of CEs) should be from fastest-to-slowest; i.e.: , and in the case of TPi = TPsubi;+1 from the largest to smallest; i.e.: Note: The ki factor is not applied to CEs 2 to 12 if the TPi of the CE or group of CEs is more than 50 Mtops; i.e., Ci for CEs 2 to 12 is 0.75. |
