OpusIB - Grid Enabled Opteron Cluster with InfiniBand Interconnect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Opus is an Opteron based cluster system with InfiniBand interconnect. Grid middleware provide the integration into CampusGrid and D-Grid projects. Mentionable details of hardware and software equipment as well as configuration of the cluster will be introduced. Performance measurements show that InfiniBand is not only well suited for message-passing based parallel applications but also competitive as transport layer for data access in shared cluster file systems or high throughput computing.

Interconnect Performance Evaluation of SGI Altix 3700 Cray X1, Cray Opteron, and Dell PowerEdge
We study the performance of inter-process communication on four high-speed multiprocessor systems using a set of communication benchmarks. The goal is to identify certain limiting factors and bottlenecks with the interconnect of these systems as well as to compare between these interconnects. We used several benchmarks to examine network behavior under different communication patterns and numbe...

The HPC Challenge (HPCC) benchmark suite and the Intel MPI Benchmark (IMB) are used to compare and evaluate the combined performance of processor, memory subsystem and interconnect fabric of six leading supercomputers SGI Altix BX2, Cray X1, Cray Opteron Cluster, Dell Xeon cluster, NEC SX-8, Cray XT3 and IBM Blue Gene/L. These six systems use also six different networks (SGI NUMALINK4, Cray net...
متن کاملA Scalability Study of Columbia using the NAS Parallel Benchmarks
The Columbia system at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility is a cluster of 20 SGI Altix nodes, each with 512 Itanium 2 processors and 1 terabyte (TB) of shared-access memory. Four of the nodes are organized as a 2048-processor capability-computing platform connected by two low-latency interconnects— NUMALink4 (NL4) and InfiniBand (IB). To evaluate the scalability of Columbia with re...

متن کاملImproving the performance scalability of the community atmosphere model
The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM), which serves as the atmosphere component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM), is currently the most computationally expensive CCSM component in typical configurations. Improving performance scalability in CAM has been a challenge, due largely to algorithmic restrictions necessitated by the polar singularities in its latitude-longitude computational...
