Hi Don,
The first time I ran the program I am working on. It
is perfectly scallable and on 20 processors it ran on
27 seconds (on two processors on 300 seconds).
The I had the curiosity to run it on a pentium D. It
ran in 30 senconds on a single core. On two cores it
ran on 37 seconds (I think something is wrong in the
mixture Solaris+Sunstudio+OpenMpi+Pentium).
I ran then the NAS benchmarks (CG benchmark CLASS A or
B) and the benchmark took 16
times longer on a SparcII Processor than on my
Pentium D(on one core).
So everything leads to the same conclusion.
I would be curious what such benchmark would give
between a Pentium D and the last generation Sparc
processor.
