This study focuses on the performance testing and comparison of the most powerful supercomputer Quinde I in Ecuador, by measuring its performance using different parameters, optimizing the system for maximum performance.
Optimizing HPC systems based on performance factors and bottlenecks is essential for designing an HPC infrastructure with the best characteristics and at a reasonable cost. Such insight can only be achieved through a detailed analysis of existing HPC systems and the execution of their workloads. The Quinde I is the only and most powerful supercomputer in Ecuador and is currently listed third on the South America. It was built with the IBM Power 8 servers. In this work, we measured its performance using different parameters from High-Performance Computing (HPC) to compare it with theoretical values and values obtained from tests on similar models. To measure its performance, we compiled and ran different benchmarks with the specific optimization flags for Power 8 to get the maximum performance with the current configuration in the hardware installed by the vendor. The inputs of the benchmarks were varied to analyze their impact on the system performance. In addition, we compile and compare the performance of two algorithms for dense matrix multiplication SRUMMA and DGEMM.
