Abstract
Recently, researchers at NASA Ames have defined a set of computational benchmarks designed to measure the performance of parallel supercompu ters. In this paper, we describe the parallel implementation of the fi ve kernel benchmarks from this suite on the IBM SP2(TM) a scalable, di stributed memory parallel computer. High-performance implementations o f these kernels have been obtained by mapping the computation of these kernels to the underlying architecture of the SP2 machine. Performanc e results for the SP2 are compared with publicly available results for other high-performance computers.
