Test cases will help to identify and determine the scaling/ performance behavior of the new system.
[[Compiler(Hawk)|Compiler]]
Ideally, those test cases can be compared to other systems as well to get a full picture.


To do:
<br>
* Definition of a best practice guideline on how to set up a correct test case
** Only measurement of time-stepping loop or equivalent excluding the initialization phase or cleanup
** Well defined measure of computational progress (e.g. LUPS, DoF-UPS, Iterations/s or Flop/s)
** Ideally, the test case is mostly automated with scripts and does also the evaluation on top with a meaningful result file

Revision as of 13:55, 20 November 2019

Hawk is the next generation HPC system at HLRS. It will replace the existing HazelHen system. The installation is planed to take place in Q4 2019. For more detailed information see the Hawk installation schedule.

This Page is under construction!

The information below applies to the Test and Development System (TDS) which is similar to the future Hawk production system. Please have in mind that this is a system under construction. Hence modifications might occur without announcement and stuff may not work as expected from time to time!
