Performance Comparison of SGI Altix 4700 and SGI Altix 3700 Bx2

S. Saini, D. Jespersen, D. Talcott, J. Djomehri, T. Sandstrom

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a newly introduced dual-core-based SGI Altix 4700 system and we compare its performance with that of a single-core-based SGI Altix 3700 Bx2 system. We used the High-Performance Computing Challenge (HPCC) benchmarks and five real-world applications, three from computational fluid dynamics, one from climate modeling and one from nanotechnology.
