color me impressed

GAMESS running on Magny Cours and Istanbul … I rebuilt them with OpenMPI 1.5 and 1.4.2. Running across 24 cores right now on each. They are running a test case now that, the previous fastest machine has been a Nehalem 3.2 GHz system. They are tearing up the track …. The sockets version isn’t as good as the MPI version. You will see/hear more about this soon, in another white paper. Needless to say, I am blown away at how fast this is. SMT helps a little, physical cores definitely rock. More later …
