Parallel benchmarks on the Transtech Paramid

摘要

This paper presents the results of running the some benchmarks from the Genesis suite on the Transtech Paramid. The benchmarks use the PARMACS parallel processing standard, and are based on applications in the fields of general relativity, molecular dynamics and QCD. The Paramid is a distributed memory parallel computer, using up to 64 Intel i860-XP processors. The results demonstrate good parallel performance, and the ability of the machine to run standard portable software.
