"... In PAGE 4: ... Simulator Predictions for NAS Benchmarks 4.2 Verification and Validation The target programs and the simulators were executed for all processor configurations listed in Table1 . For each target and host processor configuration, each simulator was executed in four modes described in Section 4.... In PAGE 4: ... The specific configurations of the benchmarks that were used in the performance study were constrained primarily by their memory and CPU requirements. Table1 summarizes the relevant configuration information for the benchmarks. Each benchmark was executed for three target machine configurations.... In PAGE 4: ...

"... In PAGE 7: ... We show the results for a medium and high throughput client/server pair because if a server supports lossless actions for poor clients, it could use the actions for other clients as well. Table7 shows results for the de-att client/server pair, which has medium throughput in the results shown in Figure 3. This client also has a number of accesses where it is classi ed as poor.... ..."
