Abstract
Magic Cube at Shanghai Supercomputing Center is the fastest supercomputer in east Asia. It is configured with 1920 16-Way SMP compute nodes, which gives 233 TFLOPS theoretical peak performance. The compute nodes are connected using Infiniband switches. In this study, we use STREAM micro-benchmark, random access in HPCC benchmark suite to understand the memory performance of Magic Cube’s SMP compute node. The multi-zone version of NAS Parallel Benchmark suite (NPB-MZ) servers as the application performance evaluation tools.
