Finite Element Analysis on the Cray MTA-2
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explains how the Cray MTA-2 might be a good platform on which to run an existing suite of finite element codes. We discuss the issues involved and compare the performance on the MTA with that on an SGI Origin 3800.

Bokhari – Saltz : Performance of Multithreaded Architectures 2 1 Introduction
We present a new scheme for evaluating the performance of multithreaded computers and demonstrate its application to the Cray MTA-2 and XMT supercomputers. Our scheme is based on the concept of clock cycles per element, C, plotted against both problem size and the number of processors. This scheme clearly shows if an implementation has achieved its asymptotic efficiency and is much more general...

متن کاملExperience with ADI-FDTD Techniques on the Cray MTA Supercomputer
Finite difference, time domain (FDTD) simulations are important to the design cycle for optical communications devices. High spatial resolution is essential, and the Courant condition limits the time step, making this problem require the level of high-performance system usually only available at a remote center. Model definition and result visualization can be done locally. Recent application o...
متن کاملSequence Alignment on the Cray MTA-2
The standard algorithm for alignment of DNA sequences using dynamic programming has been implemented on the Cray MTA-2 (Multithreaded Architecture-2) at ENRI (Electronic Navigation Research Institute), Japan. Descriptions of several variants of this algorithm and their measured performance are provided. It is shown that the use of “Full/Empty” bits (a feature unique to the MTA) leads to impleme...
متن کاملParallel Implementation of Computational Fluid Dynamics Codes on Emerging Architectures
We consider two emerging parallel computing platforms and their suitability for large-scale computational mechanics codes. CRAY Multi-Threaded Architecture (MTA), featuring custom CPUs and automatic parallelizing compiler suite, is organized around flat uniform access shared memory, high-bandwidth connections between CPUs and memory, lightweight synchronization, and context switching between th...
