Abstract
In this paper we present the results of benchmark experiments carried out on a Silicon Graphics Origin2000. We used the three modules of the EuroBen Benchmark ([1]) to assess the performance of a single node, as a shared memory system, and as a distributed memory system. Where the situation calls for it, we compare the results with those obtained on a Cray T3E and an IBM SP2. The results obtained from this benchmark give a good impression of what performances can be attained on the Origin2000 under what circumstances and expose the weak and strong points of the system.
