Scalability and performance of OpenMP and MPI on a 128-processor SGI Origin 2000

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the scalability and performance of seven, simple OpenMP test programs and to compare their performance with equivalent MPI programs on an SGI Origin 2000. Data distribution directives were used to make sure that the OpenMP implementation had the same data Distribution as the MPI implementation. For the matrix-times-vector (test 5) and the matrix-times-matrix (test 7) tests, the syntax allowed in OpenMP 1.1 does not allow OpenMP compilers to be able to generate efficient code since the reduction clause is not currently allowed for arrays.
