Integrating the Nqueens Algorithm into a Parameterized Benchmark Suite

“…A complete discussion of the benchmark suites can be found in a previously published ARL report. 2 The takeaway from the ARL technical report examining each benchmark suite is that there are 2 mature benchmark suites to fit the needs of ARL: OpenDwarfs and the Scalable Heterogeneous Computing Benchmark Suite (SHOC). Each of these has advantages and disadvantages, as was previously documented.…”

“…Each of these has advantages and disadvantages, as was previously documented. 2 These 2 suites will be summarized here for convenience.…”
