We study benchmarking on modern chip multi-processors (CMP), and outline a set of programs to measure the architectural performance properties, focusing on the REPLICA architecture employing a hybrid of PRAM and NUMA computational models. We analyse the parallel data processing and storage mechanisms on mainstream and research CMPs and their utilization in benchmarks to identify the strong and weak points of REPLICA and to further develop the benchmarks to demonstrate its scalability and performance
