CCSM4 Timing Table

General Notes:

  • This information is constantly subject to change due to changes in the model or machine hardware and software. Each entry contains information about the CCSM4 version and the date of the test.
  • This is a sortable table, click on the headings to perform a descending or ascending sort. (Note: the tool sorts based on character string, not numerical value).
  • A clickable link for each entry in the Compset column takes you to the raw timing output file.
  • Please contribute to this timing table by sending a raw CCSM timing file and information about your hardware (including a web link if possible) to ccsm4-help@cgd.ucar.edu.

    Component pe information is formatted as follows:

  • total_pes
  • tasks x threads
  • root_pe

    The machines are:

  • bluefire = NCAR IBM AIX power6, 32-way, 4.7 GHz, infiniband interconnect, 64 Gb/node
  • jaguar = NCCS Cray XT4, quad-core, AMD 2.1 GHz, SeaStar 2 interconnect, 8 Gb/node
  • jaguarpf = NCCS Cray XT5, dual hex-core AMD, SeaStar 2+ interconnect, 16 Gb/node
  • franklin = NERSC Cray XT4, dual quad-core, AMD 2.3 GHz, SeaStar 2 interconnect, 8 Gb/node
  • midnight = ARSC Sun Cluster, Two 2.6 GHz Dual-Core AMD Opteron, Voltaire infiniband interconnect, 16 Gb/node
  • interpid = ANL IBM Blue Gene/P, Quad-Core 850 MHz PowerPC 450, 2 GB/node
  • coates = Purdue HP Cluster, dual/quad 2.5 GHz Quad-Core AMD 2380/8380, 10 GigE interconnect, 32-128 Gb/node
