Evaluating Performance of the SGI Altix 4700 via Scientific Benchmark and Micro-Benchmarks
نویسنده
چکیده
I evaluated the performance of the SGI Altix 4700 by using several well-known benchmarks. In performing these experiments we hope to gain a better understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the system, and thus be able improve upon the design in future generations or develop tools that enhance the performance of the system.

High performance computing using MPI and OpenMP on multi-core parallel systems
The rapidly increasing number of cores in modern microprocessors is pushing the current high performance computing (HPC) systems into the petascale and exascale era. The hybrid nature of these systems—distributed memory across nodes and shared memory with non-uniform memory access within each node—poses a challenge to application developers. In this paper, we study a hybrid approach to programm...

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 and IBM Blue Gene/L. These six systems use also six different networks (SGI NUMALINK4, Cray network, Myri...
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 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...
