Performance Analysis of a Scalable Algorithm for 3D Linear Transforms on Supercomputer with Intel Processors/Co-Processors

Supra-linear Packet Processing Performance with Intel® Multi-core Processors

Scalable Platform Services on the Intel TFLOPS Supercomputer

This paper describes Scalable Platform Services (SPS)—a collection of software providing the manageability solution for Intel’s latest parallel processing supercomputer. Compared to previous generations of supercomputer management environments, such as that of the Intel Paragon Supercomputer, the SPS makes significant strides in feature offerings and overall usability. The SPS consists of dist...

The Performance of the Intel TFLOPS Supercomputer

The purpose of building a supercomputer is to provide superior performance on real applications. In this paper, we describe the performance of the Intel TFLOPS Supercomputer starting at the lowest level with a detailed investigation of the Pentium® Pro processor and the supporting memory subsystem. We follow this with a description of the benchmarks used to track the performance of the machine ...

Hyperscan Performance Benchmark on Intel Xeon Processors

The requirement for advanced security equipment to scan data streams for malicious content at line rate presents significant challenges to network security vendors. Overwhelmed by the data rates of present-day networks, security equipment is more likely to miss attacks, leading to increased risk of security breaches. While high-speed content scanning, also known as deep packet inspection (DPI),...

Scalable framework for 3D FFTs on the Blue Gene/L supercomputer: Implementation and early performance measurements

This paper presents results on a communications-intensive kernel, the three-dimensional fast Fourier transform (3D FFT), running on the 2,048-node Blue Genet/L (BG/L) prototype. Two implementations of the volumetric FFT algorithm were characterized, one built on the Message Passing Interface library and another built on an active packet Application Program Interface supported by the hardware br...
