Experiments with a gigabit neuroscience application on the CM-2

Abstract

Recently, there has been considerable interest in high performance networks. To help evaluate the high-speed-networking related performance of supercomputers, we selected a computation neuroscience simulation program that has a bandwidth requirements in excess of 1.5 Gigabits per second. The simulation runs on the Thinking Machnes CM-2 and the target visualization engine is the Convex C3880. We benchmarked the various operations required to transmit data from the CM-2 to the Convex C3880. Our results show that the parallel to serial data transformation operation on the CM-2 and the network interfaces are the major bottlenecks.
