Benchmark revision1253

From Yade

We are benchmarking yade revision 1253 on various multi-core workstations. The benchmark is done by launching multiple instances of yade, to fill all cores. The test file is at http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/~janek/benchmark/Compacted_5821.xml.bz2

NOTE: the commands below assume that you have all yade dependencies installed, for full list of required libraries see Installation

    svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/yade/trunk/  --revision=1253
    cd trunk
    scons optimize=1 PREFIX=$HOME/YADE jobs=8 features=none
    cd $HOME/YADE
    mkdir data
    cd data
    wget http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/~janek/benchmark/Compacted_5821.xml.bz2
    bzip2 -d Compacted_5821.xml.bz2
    cd ../bin
 
    # then you run 16 jobs for 16 processors:
    ./yade-svn1253 -n -- -p -v 1000 -f ../data/Compacted_5821.xml -m 10000 > job_1_16cores 2>&1 &
    ./yade-svn1253 -n -- -p -v 1000 -f ../data/Compacted_5821.xml -m 10000 > job_2_16cores 2>&1 &
    # .... and so on, for all 16 cores
    # ....
    ./yade-svn1253 -n -- -p -v 1000 -f ../data/Compacted_5821.xml -m 10000 > job_16_16cores 2>&1 &

On the end of files job_??_16cores you will see Computation time: 00:xx:xx This is the benchmark result. Please put the results on this wiki page. You can edit this page without registering, just click "edit".
