Klrp timings From: Table sent by A. Ramsak, May 31, 1999 Summary (1) The code speed is correlated with the THEORETICAL MFLOPS speed, not with clock speed. (Sun results are not definitive because FPU may not have run at full speed.) Compiler options are important. Table I. klrp (A. Ramsak). RC is 10**5 divided by the CPU time and clock frequency. RF is 10**5 divided by the CPU time and theoretical MFLOPS rating (which is clock * FP pipeline). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time RC RF -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SGI PCL R8000 75-90 MHz *1) f77 -Ofast=ip21 -O3 -pfa -WK,-p=1 235 5.1 1.3 f77 -Ofast=ip21 -O3 -pfa -WK,-p=1 -TENV:X=4 -LNO:ou=4 235 5.1 1.3 f77 -Ofast=ip21 -O3 251 4.8 1.2 f77 -r8000 -mips4 -n32 -O3 -pfa -WK,-p=1 479 2.5 0.6 f77 -r8000 -mips4 -n32 -O3 599 2.0 0.5 Sun Enterprise 4500 336 MHz *2) f77 -fast f77 -fast -O5 f77 -fast -O5 -xtarget=ultra2 -xcache=16/32/1: 4096/64/1 211 1.4 0.7 *2) Intel Pentium II 400 MHz pgf77 $FLAGS 151 1.7 1.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *1) RC, RF calculated with an effective clock of 83 MHz because of lack of information on which processor the job was run. *2) FPU unit may not have run at optimum speed.
