[FLASH-USERS] Request for reference on performance and scalability

[Marissa Adams]

Hi Ernesto,

I don't know of any specific publications off the bat that are straight up on the topic of MPI scalability/performance using FLASH. Seems most people may discuss these things strategically in a science publication so that work gets cited too -- so you may want to look around at some of the earlier publications in the 2000s (http://flash.uchicago.edu/site/publications/flash_pubs.shtml).

Albeit section 8 of the Fryxell et al. (2000) paper may be what you're looking for, but I am not sure if it necessarily pertains to current versions of the code/their performance. Hopefully, Klaus or someone else at the Center, or someone else on the user list, knows more -- but this is what I know of.

Best of luck,
Marissa

Hi all!
Does anybody know if there is a (preferently refereed) reference that measures the performance and MPI scalability of the Flash code in PCs and clusters?
I have been looking for it but I got nothing. The reference is needed for a project.

Thank you!
