MPI performance measurement on nodes of the earth simulator

Uehara, Hitoshi; Tamura, Masanori; Yokokawa, Mitsuo

The Earth Simulator is an ultra high-speed supercomputer which is developed now for global environment change simulations. For achieving high performance computing on large scale distributed memory parallel computer such as the Earth Simulator, an optimization of communication processings in user applications is required, and the optimization needs an evaluation for performances of communication methods. In the Earth Simulator, Message Passing Interface (MPI) is supported as the communication method. We evaluated performances of the MPI-1/MPI-2 functions on the Earth Simulator in detail using MBL which we developed.
