| 1 | This will only depend on 3 parameters |
| 2 | n which is grain size -- amount of problem stored on each processor (bounded by local memory) |
| 3 | tfloat which is typical time to do one calculation on one node |
| 4 | tcomm which is typical time to communicate one word between two nodes |
| 5 | Most importance omission here is communication latency |
| 6 | Time to communicate = tlatency+ (Num Words)tcomm |
| 7 | Node A |
| 8 | Node B |
| 9 | tcomm |
| 10 | CPU tfloat |
| 11 | CPU tfloat |
| 12 | Memory n |
| 13 | Memory n |
