[gmx-users] benchmark numbers

[vipin sachdeva]

Yes, I am really off (more than 2X for both Woodcrest and PPC970).
I was  earlier doing the configure flags

CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O3 LDFLAGS=-O3 --enable-ppc-altivec (--enable-x86-64-sse) 
--enable-cpu-optimizations --enable-float --disable-threads (single node 
results) only.

and I found I was 2X off. I am just downloading gmxbench, doing grompp 
inside d.villin and then just mdrun. Any more options needed for more 
optimal performance ? Do flags for software-sqrt or static binaries only 
also help a lot ? Both machines are for personal usage only.


Regards
vipin
