%0 Journal Article %T Performance of Artificial Intelligence Workloads on the Intel Core 2 Duo Series Desktop Processors %A Abdul Kareem PARCHUR %A Kuppangari Krishna RAO %A Fazal NOORBASHA %A Ram Asaray SINGH %J Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies %D 2010 %I AcademicDirect %X As the processor architecture becomes more advanced, Intel introduced its Intel Core 2 Duo series processors. Performance impact on Intel Core 2 Duo processors are analyzed using SPEC CPU INT 2006 performance numbers. This paper studied the behavior of Artificial Intelligence (AI) benchmarks on Intel Core 2 Duo series processors. Moreover, we estimated the task completion time (TCT) @1 GHz, @2 GHz and @3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo series processors frequency. Our results show the performance scalability in Intel Core 2 Duo series processors. Even though AI benchmarks have similar execution time, they have dissimilar characteristics which are identified using principal component analysis and dendogram. As the processor frequency increased from 1.8 GHz to 3.167 GHz the execution time is decreased by ~370 sec for AI workloads. In the case of Physics/Quantum Computing programs it was ~940 sec. %K Processor Performance %K Benchmarks %K Artificial Intelligence (AI) %U http://lejpt.academicdirect.org/A17/109_116.pdf
