ZEUS-3D Parallel Performance Comparison for Problem Blast w/MoC Scheme

by streeter last modified 2007-03-30 04:50
The parallel performance on three different multiprocessor platforms of the ZEUS-3D Blast test problem using the MoC algorithm is shown below. The long listings give more extensive information.
  • CODE: ZEUS-3D version 3.4.1.
  • PROBLEM: Blast -- the expansion of a hot sphere of plasma into an initially uniform magnetic medium.
  • GEOMETRY: Cartesian XYZ
  • GRID: 128 X 64 X 64 zones. The ratio of neighboring zone dimensions is 1.02. The smallest zones are near origin.
  • ALGORITHM: van Leer advection, Method of Characteristics scheme to evolve magnetic fields
  • PRECISION: DOUBLE
  • DATA: In the graph below, the number of Megaflops for a given physical problem is determined by comparing the number of CPU seconds used by the master thread in computing the evolution (some system and ZEUS-3D overhead is excluded). The data are scaled to the results from running on one Cray C90 processor, which has a hardware performance monitor capable of counting MFLOPS.
