Abstract

Classic vector systems have all but vanished from recent TOP500 lists. Looking at the newly introduced NEC SX-9 series, we benchmark its memory subsystem using the low level vector triad and employ an advanced lattice Boltzmann flow solver kernel to demonstrate that classic vectors still combine excellent performance with a well-established optimization approach. Results for commodity x86-based systems are provided for reference. © 2009 IEEE.
