High Performance FFT on SGI Altix 3700
We have developed a high-performance FFT on SGI Altix 3700, improving the efficiency of the floating-point operations required to compute FFT by using a kind of loop fusion technique. As a result, we achieved a performance of 4.94 Gflops at 1-D FFT of length 4096 with an Itanium 2 1.3 GHz (95% of peak), and a performance of 28 Gflops at 2-D FFT of 4096 with 32 processors. Our FFT kernel outperf...
متن کاملPerformance Characterization of Matrix Multiplication on SGI Altix 3700
Matrix multiplication is widely used in a variety of applications and is often one of the core components of many scientific computations which includes graph theory, numerical methods, digital control and signal processing. Multiplication of large matrices require a lot of computation time as its complexity is O(n), where n is the dimension of the matrix. A serial algorithm to compute large ma...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics_quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is a theory ofstrong interactions, a fundamental forcedescribing the interactions between quarksand gluons which make up hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of Quantum field theory called a nonabelian gauge theory with symmetry group SU(3). The QCD analog of electric charge is a property called 'color'. Gluons are the ...
متن کاملOptimizing OpenMP Parallelized DGEMM Calls on SGI Altix 3700
Using functions of parallelized mathematical libraries is a common way to accelerate numerical applications. Computer architectures with shared memory characteristics support different approaches for the implementation of such libraries, usually OpenMP or MPI. This paper’s content is based on the performance comparison of DGEMM calls (floating point matrix multiplication, double precision) with...
متن کاملAccessing Data on SGI Altix: An Experience with Reality
The SGI Altix system architecture allows to support very large ccNUMA shared memory systems. Nevertheless, the system layout sets boundaries to the sustained memory performance which can only be avoided by selecting the “right” data access strategies. The paper presents the results of cache and memory performance studies on SGI Altix 350. It demonstrates limitations and benefits of the system a...
