NAS Parallel Benchmark Results on ADENART

This paper reports NAS Parallel Benchmark results on parallel machine ADENART, which has been developed through collaboration between Kyoto University and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.[KKT]. The results show that ADENART has comparable or two/three times power of Y-MP/1, though it is very compact as a deskside machine and consumes only about several KWhs of electric power. 1 Introduction Parallel machine ADENART had been developed until 1990, through collaboration between Kyoto University and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.. Its original idea was already proposed by the first author in the beginning of 1980's under the academic name ADENA(changed from previous ADINA). A dozen of systems had been produced to support CAD research in the company and academic research in some Japanese universities. Our university uses one of them for computational physics and mathematics, developing of parallel algorithms and software development. On the last summer, we tried to test NAS Parallel ..
