  • EXPLORING THE DATABASE

    Default view
    When this page is viewed no filters are initially applied. All benchmarks are selected and sorted by simulation speed. The chart on the right displays only top 30 benchmarks for clarity.
  • Selecting benchmarks
    A subset of benchmarks can be selected using a custom chain of filters. Selected database entries can be downloaded as CSV files for further analysis or viewed in the Benchmark Details table at the bottom of the page.
  • Detailed views
    A detailed view of each database entry can be accessed from Benchmark ID and Software ID search forms. Detailed views include submission commands and simulation input files. View example: PMEMD @Narval (benchmark ID=46).
  • Parallel efficiency
    Efficiency is computed as PS/(SS * N) where PS is speed of the parallel program, SS is speed of the serial program, and N is the number of CPUs or GPUs.
  • Viewing parallel speedup and efficiency
    To view the graph of the dependence of parallel speedup and efficiency on the number of CPU/GPU equivalents select only one software and one cluster. View example: GROMACS @Narval .

  • Viewing QM/MM benchmarks
    To view QM/MM benchmarks select simulation system 4cg1 .
