How to calculate Arithmetic Intensity?

594 views Asked by At

I have the following code snippet, of which I have to calculate the Arithmetic Intensity.

const int N = 8192;
float a[N], b[N], c[N], d[N];
...
#pragma omp parallel for simd 
for(int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
 const float tmp_a = a[i];
 const float tmp_b = b[i];
 c[i] += tmp_a*tmp_b;
 d[i] = tmp_a+tmp_b;
}

Case 1 : What will be the AI if tmp_a and tmp_b are in registers Case 2 : What will be the AI if tmp_a and tmp_b are in RAM or cache

I know AI is given as number of floating point operations divided by the number of bytes transferred. How should the bytes transferred depend on the data being stored in RAM/registers/Cache? What additional information do we need to calculate the maximum floating point throughput achievable by the code?
