Abstract
The ParkBench (PARallel Kernels and BENCHmarks) committee has establish a comprehensive set of parallel benchmarks. The ParkBench committee was founded at Supercomputing'92 in Minneapolis, when a group of about 50 people interested in computer benchmarking met under the joint initiative of Tony Hey (University of Southampton, UK) and Jack Dongarra (University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory). Most of the key players were present, from the Universities, Laboratories and industries, representing both computer manufacturers and computer users from both sides of the Atlantic.
In this paper we describes the content of the version 2.0 of the ParkBench suite. This version includes MPI and PVM versions for all benchmark software. This allows performance comparison for these different message passing standards.
