Services for performance analysis of Linux clusters:

  • Linux platform compiler evaluation: Intel, and PGI
  • Linux cluster IA-32 & IA-64 hardware benchmarking.
  • Applications benchmarking on Linux clusters.

Some sample performance analyses from the technical reports pages:

  1. MPI bandwidth comparison of the SGI Altix versus new Quad-core nodes
  2. MPI Parallel efficiency for CMAQ on a 300+ core cluster
  3. The Stommel Ocean Model (in a Fortran 77 MPI version) with the Pentium III SSE instruction set using the Portland Group Compiler ( for problem sizes 1000 x 1000 to 10,000 x 10,000.
  4. For the latest results see the current year's report(s) at this list for progress with CMAQ and AERMOD
