LS-DYNA Performance and Scalability in the Multi-Core Environment
Efficient data transfer between clustered compute nodes is critical for balanced system performance. In a balanced system, the overall performance is equal to or greater than the sum of its components, while in a non-balanced system, the performance is less than the sum. The challenge of achieving balanced performance becomes more evident in multi-core environments. A multi-core environment introduces high demands on the cluster interconnect and the interconnect must handle multiple I/O streams simultaneously. In this paper we explore the benefits of InfiniBand high-speed connectivity solution for multi-core clusters, and show the scalability and efficiency of LS-DYNA on InfiniBand connected multi-core cluster platforms.
