SSP Performance: Gaussian98
Ab initio quantum chemistry
Probably the single most popular 3rd party application at OSC
Consider mostly CPU bound calculations
Examine
- Overall SSP performance (runtime)
- Floating-point performance
- Memory throughput
Notes:
- To round out our single process applications, lets look at a 3rd party application.
- Gaussian is probably the single most popular 3rd party application at OSC and accounts for a significant percentage of the CPU cycles consumed.
- We looked at 3 "representative" problems, mostly cpu bound, which were provided by one of our users
