....rapid turnaround on this largescale design study. 5 ASCI Red Supercomputer 5.1 Architecture Review For this optimization study, substantial compute resources were required. Within Sandia National Laboratories, one of the primary production computing platforms is the ASCI Red supercomputer [9, 10]. ASCI Red is a massively parallel, message passing, multiple input multiple data (MIMD) computer. It achieves multiple TeraFLOPS (trillion floating point operations per second) peak performance. It is designed so that file I O, memory, disk capacity, and communication are scalable. Standard ....

....is a 550 node Paragon XP S with 448 GP (with 32MB memory) 86 MP (with 64MB memory) nodes [1] We performed our experiments on 16 and 64 I O node partitions, each I O node having 64MB memory and a 4GB Seagate disk. ASCI Red Teraflops is a 4500 compute nodes and (eventually) 19 I O nodes machine [8]. Each I O node also has two 200 MHz Pentium Pro and 256MB memory, having access to two 32GB RAIDs. We carried our experiments on a 3 I O node partition 1 . 4.1 Overall Performance Evaluation We show the performance results on the TREX and ASCI Red Teraflops for the basic collective and ....

....Intel ASCI Option Red Supercomputer is in routine production use. The machine is successfully addressing the problems that motivated the DOE to purchase it. One feature of the machine that we haven t talked about is its ability to rapidly switch between classified and unclassified operating modes [12]. While this isn t a performance issue, it does make the machine more broadly usable and therefore impacts the application programmer directly. Performance on such a complex machine means many things. It means understanding single node performance, and knowing where the memory bottlenecks lie. In ....
