Goals
To gain insight into performance issues arising from the new architectural features of the SV1
- Vector cache
- Multi-stream processors (MSPs)
To begin to study how these performance issues will impact the migration of codes, developed for Y-MP/C90/T90 series machines, to Cray’s new architecture roadmap
To characterize the machine performance on a variety of real-world applications
