Scalability

Effective System Performance (ESP) test is a National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC)-designed benchmark suite that provides a metric that focuses on operating system attributes for production-oriented parallel systems. These attributes include parallel launch time, job scheduling, preemptive job launch, and system reboot time. This paper highlights the improvement in Effective System Performance achieved on the IBM eServer pSeries 655 system. tech news

Independently Consistent Expression Discriminator (ICED) is a sample classification application for Microarray data analysis. While it is based on a robust algorithm, it can take a long time, sometimes even days, to complete a cross-validation test for large data sets on its development platform, Windows. A faster processing time is highly desired. ICED was enabled and optimized on an IBM POWER4 system. The benchmark results indicate that the optimized ICED code runs 2.6 to 4.0 times faster than the original code on Windows. tech news

This paper describes the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592 drives and controllers. The IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592 Model J1A is the first offering in the new 3592 tape drive family designed for enterprise applications. The 3592 tape drive is a new machine type, the 3592, with a new drive, Model J1A. It is designed to provide higher levels of performance, reliability, and cartridge capacity than the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3590, which it will ultimately replace. The 3592 tape drive represents the next leap in technology in the same way that 3590 replaced the 3490 drive family. tech news
