Abstract
This paper describes early results of a performance evaluation of the IBM BG/P recently installed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We use microkernels to determine computation and communication performance, both with and without contention. We use the Parallel Ocean Program to evaluate application scalability and to distinguish BG/P performance from other High Performance Computing systems.
