Abstract

In this paper, we present performance of a set of typically compute intensive benchmarks on a 16 node SCI based PC cluster. The performance is compared with other currently used high-end computers. Dedicated clusters with high-performance interconnect are shown to be competitive in absolute performance to more traditional high-end computers, offering good scalable performance at a low price.
