Abstract

As the successor of parb_ana the project parbana1 was started to find some answers to questions the first project left open. The main problem encountered in examining SX-4 and SX-5 at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) was the impossibility to test these machines with all planed trials concerning mixed workloads due to software hangups. To illustrate the problem as well as the undertaken efforts to solve it, we will divide this report into three parts. First, PARbench the used benchmark system is described briefly. Thereafter, the results and problems investigating the SX vector computers are shown. In the final part the changes made to PARbench as well as the new findings are discussed.
