Some codes are also outliers, for example Fluent on Woodcrest does
great, if I remember correctly.
The Fluent benchmarks need to be explained. There are basically
9 benchmarks (small, medium, and large models). On the small
and medium models the Woodcrest kicks butt on a single node
(1-4 cores) mostly due to the cache size. On some of the large
models, the Woodcrest does very well on a single node (1-4 CPUs).
But on some of the large models, the Opteron does very well.
While benchmarking MX-10G, my contacts at Fluent said that only the
three large models are useful these days for comparing systems (i.e.
the small and medium datasets no longer represent what their
customers use).
