....Number of processors Wallclock Time (seconds) Scaling Parallel Efficiency 15 266 15.0 1.000 30 135 29.55 0.985 45 93 42.9 0.953 60 72 55.42 0.924 so that 4 processors (15 of the total of 26) is reasonable. When SKYHI was ported to the LANL TMC CM 5 machine (Jones et al. [2]) however, it was necessary to use a two dimensional domain decomposition. The major longitudinal dependence which was encountered was the polar Fourier filter, which required extensive communication of data between processors, and resulted in a high computational price. Jones et al. 2] discuss ....
....et al. 2] however, it was necessary to use a two dimensional domain decomposition. The major longitudinal dependence which was encountered was the polar Fourier filter, which required extensive communication of data between processors, and resulted in a high computational price. Jones et al. [2] discuss the performance of SKYHI on the CM5 machine and the reasons for it. Table 1: SKYHI PVP scaling characteristics The SKYHI code running on the Cray PVP machine has also been modified to run on the CRI T3E distributed memory machine. Pre processor options are used to select either the ....

....although required huge buffers to get much scalability. They want to see a single, shared file system image from all processors, have the file format be independent of processor count, use portable conventional interface, and have throughput scale with the number of computation processors. ffl [JKH95] This paper is about a weather code. There s a bit about the parallel I O issues. They periodically write a restart file, and they write out several types of data files. They write out the data in any order, with a little mini header in each chunk that describes the chunk. I O was not a ....
