Performance Characteristics of a Cost-Effective Medium-Sized Beowulf Cluster Supercomputer
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper presents some performance results obtained from a new Beowulf cluster, the Helix, built at Massey University, Auckland funded by the Allan Wilson Center for Evolutionary Ecology. Issues concerning network latency and the effect of the switching fabric and network topology on performance are discussed. In order to assess how the system performed using the message passing interface (MPI), two test suites (mpptest and jumpshot) were used to provide a comprehensive network performance
