Abstract:
For the evaluation of shared memory systems several programs
were chosen and ported to different, today available computer systems.
These applications represent important aspects of our numerical and
algorithmic research. Beside the evaluation of the processor performance,
the programs were chosen to test the scalability of the systems
w.r.t. memory and the number of CPUs. The main characteristics of
the benchmarked computer systems and the results from the individual
benchmarks are presented. Furthermore, problems which occurred
while porting the programs are discussed.
