Is Simple Scalar(http://simplescalar.com/) good forr testing beowulf clusters?
but why? simplescalar appears to be an ISA simulator, which I would guess would exibit a relatively small memory footprint and lots of branchy, mostly-int code. if that's the case, then it would make a pretty poor cluster tester. HPL is a pretty decent way to test a cluster, since it can be configured to fill your memory, will certainly keep your FPU
warm, as well as make realistic (if not extreme) use of your interconnect. regards, mark hahn. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
