HPCMP Guide to the Best Program Architectures Based on Application Results for TI-05

Since time-to-solution and processor scalability of an application can vary greatly from one architecture to another, it is important to consider the suitability of architectures with respect to target applications in order to make efficient use of available resources. Given that the full set of possible applications is quite large this paper focuses only on codes found within the applications portion of the HPCMP 2005 Technology Insertion (TI-05) Benchmarking Suite. Member codes include AERO, AVUS, GAMESS, HYCOM, OOCORE, OVERFLOW2, RF-CTH2, and WRF. Parallel performance-perprocessor for major HPCMP architectures is analyzed for each code in order to provide general selection guidance to users and a unique perspective for code developers.
