PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF INTEGER AND FLOATING-POINT ARITHMETICAL OPERATIONS CARRIED OUT USING DOCKER CONTAINERS AND HOST MACHINE

Lapin I. A., Sergeev A. V., Khakhina A. M.

This article provides the description and testing results of the performance of arithmetical operations with integer and floating-point numbers carried out using Docker containers with Linux operating system and the host machine with MacOS. Benchmark results and the findings provided in this article might be useful while deciding to use the Docker virtual machines to maintain the simultaneous calculations while considering the possible overheads and increased time consumption.
