ISS compares the burn rate it calculates for the subject company to an industry-specific benchmark in one of three groups: S&P 500, Russell 3000 (excluding S&P 500), and Non-Russell 3000.
Silver grades will be awarded to universities offering courses with "high levels of stretch that ensures all students are significantly challenged," while bronze will go to universities where "provision is of satisfactory quality … however, the provider is likely to be significantly below benchmark in one or more areas".
Our method has been recently and successfully benchmarked in one experiment of Automated Function Prediction featuring a Critical Assessment of Function Annotations [AFP/CAFA 2011, (21, 22)].
The properties of the numerical algorithm are checked on some benchmark problems in one, two and three space dimensions.
In addition, it preserves full accuracy, including higher-order rates of convergence, which we illustrate for boundary-fitted discretizations of several benchmark tests in one, two and three dimensions.
Electrochemical benchmarking was done in one molar tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile.
Benchmark numerical experiments in one dimension and two dimensions are provided to validate the performance of the method.
Relative potency factors in cumulative risk assessment should be based on benchmark doses from studies in one species with identical study design and human relevance of effects on specific target organs should be analyzed to define minimal margins of exposure.
Of these, one added benchmarks to the feedback in one intervention arm [ 16], and one let the patients fill in the feedback reports in the GP's waiting room [ 13].
I like the Qualcomm-produced slide above because it compares apples to apples, at least in one benchmark metric (SPECint), from a per-thread performance perspective.
