High Performance FFT on SGI Altix 3700
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a high-performance FFT on SGI Altix 3700, improving the efficiency of the floating-point operations required to compute FFT by using a kind of loop fusion technique. As a result, we achieved a performance of 4.94 Gflops at 1-D FFT of length 4096 with an Itanium 2 1.3 GHz (95% of peak), and a performance of 28 Gflops at 2-D FFT of 4096 with 32 processors. Our FFT kernel outperformed the other existing libraries.

Optimizing OpenMP Parallelized DGEMM Calls on SGI Altix 3700
Using functions of parallelized mathematical libraries is a common way to accelerate numerical applications. Computer architectures with shared memory characteristics support different approaches for the implementation of such libraries, usually OpenMP or MPI. This paper’s content is based on the performance comparison of DGEMM calls (floating point matrix multiplication, double precision) with...
متن کاملInterconnect 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...
متن کاملPerformance Characterization of Matrix Multiplication on SGI Altix 3700
Matrix multiplication is widely used in a variety of applications and is often one of the core components of many scientific computations which includes graph theory, numerical methods, digital control and signal processing. Multiplication of large matrices require a lot of computation time as its complexity is O(n), where n is the dimension of the matrix. A serial algorithm to compute large ma...
