โœฆ Synopsis

The serial and parallel performance of one of the world's fastest general purpose computers, the CRAY-2, is analyzed using the standard Los Alamos Benchmark Set plus codes adapted for parallel processing. For comparison, architectural and performance data are also given for the CRAY X-MP/416. Factors affecting performance, such as memory bandwidth, size and access speed of memory, and software exploitation of hardware, are examined. The parallel processing environments of both machines are evaluated, and speedup measurements for the parallel codes are given.

In this paper a set of techniques for improving the performance of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm on modern vector-oriented supercomputers is presented. Single-processor FFT implementations based on these techniques are developed for the CRAY-2 and the CRAY Y-MP, and it is shown that the

The CRAY-2 is considered to be one of the most powerful supercomputers. Its state-of-the-art technology features a faster clock and more memory than any other supercomputer available today. In this report the single processor performance of the CRAY-2 is compared with the older, more mature CRAY X-M

Various scientific codes were benchmarked on three vector computers: the CRAY X-MP/48 and CRAY-2 supercomputers and the SCS-40/XM minisupercomputer. On the X-MP, two Fortran compilers were also compared. The benchmarks, which were initially all in Fortran, consisted of six research codes from Caltec
