Chapter 10. Microprocessor design 105
10.2 Case analysis
In this section, we analyze how a grid computing solution may be built to tackle
the problem described in the previous section.
10.2.1 Requirements
This section describes the functional and non-functional technical requirements
for the solution proposed.
Functional
To satisfy the requirements described above, here are the recommendations:
Store 5-10 terabytes of data on a distributed file system.
Achieve peak computing power of approximately 2 teraflops.
Provide tools to improve the bug removal rate.
Provide tools to reduce human-resources cost needed to submit 100,000+
tests a day.
Non-functional
Non-functional requirements define the value-added goals of the project that are
not def ...
