Performance Test

Introduction

This page summarises some results for the performance test of YADE (yade --performance) on a multicore machines. It should give an idea on how good YADE scales.

Test 1

Two versions of YADE are compared to each other and two different machines are used. The test was conducted on the computing grid of the University of Newcastle by Klaus.

YADE versions:

• version1 (trunk): 2014-01-25.git-22c2441
• version2 (see [1]): 2014-02-24.git-b60d388

Machines (Hyperthreading disabled):

• AMD: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6282 SE (64 cores)
• Intel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60GHz (16 cores)
