Benchmarks

A web site for MILC benchmarks may be found at http://physics.indiana.edu/~sg/milc/benchmark.html.
Additional graphs and explanations may be found there.

The simple performance model presented above can help us guess when the communication and floating point are in reasonable balance, but it is no substitute for real benchmarks.
 
 
 
Key variables
  • problem size L4/node
  • # of CPU's or nodes

All benchmarks are for Single precision Kogut-Susskind Conjugate Gradient. Use the back button on your browser to return to this page. These graphs are in PostScript. Other tables and axis are available from the MILC benchmark site.
