These programs were developed using the OpenMPI implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard and were run on an experimental grid computer made of 7 desktop computers. These test applications measure execution times for applications implementing the Jacobi approximation for a linear system of equations. The output of the test application is the processing speed, measured in MFlops and obtained using more methods in order to test more aspects of inter-process communication. The final purpose is to see increasing performance in a Grid by increasing the number of computing nodes. Ill. 8, bibl. 10 (in English; summaries in English, Russian and Lithuanian).</p> ER -
