abstract

The dynamics benchmark computes the equations of motion for a grid-point
atmospheric global climate model. This benchmark contains
nearest-neighbor communication, data redistribution and static
load-balancing.

environment

The source code, written in fortran 77, has been designed to
execute efficiently on sequential, vector and mpp architectures with minimal
updating to the source code. The current version of the dynamics benchmark
has been successfully executed on Sun, DEC Alpha and SGI Power
Challange workstations, the Cray C90 vector processor, the CRAY T3D,
IBM SP2 and Intel Paragon MPP's, as well as PVM implementations on
networked Sun and Alpha workstations.
