some ab initio benchmarks

Sat Oct 18 00:52:59 EDT 2003

Hi,

quite recently I did some benchmarks of P4 2.8 GHz against dual Opteron
1400MHz, dual Itanium2 1400MHz and dual k7mp 2133MHz(MP 2600+) and some
older machines. For comparison I am including benchmarks of dual P3 512
1200MHz I got from Wayne Fisher, The University of Texas at Dallas. On
Opteron I have also tried PC GAMESS program which I received from Alex
Granovsky.

some details:

g03 is GAUSSIAN 03 rev. B04 with gaussian blas compiled with 32-bit pgi4.0

gamess is  VERSION 6 SEP 2001 (R4) compiled with 32-bit ifc 7.1, for P4 I 
have used additional options -tpp7 -axKW

Opteron (dahlia) had 64bit GinGin64 Linux and I had to use static 32-bit 
binaries.  It should have SuSE Linux Enterprise soon and I will repeat 
tests using PGI 5.0 64-bit compiler when it will be ready.

Itanium2 (itek) uses gamess  VERSION = 14 JAN 2003 (R3) compiled with
64-bit efc and GAUSSIAN 03 rev. B04 with mkl60 compiled with 64-bit efc 
7.1

P3xenon (galera) uses gamess VERSION = 6 SEP 2001 (R4) compiled with ifc
6.0 and GAUSSIAN 03 rev B.01 with gaussian blas compiled with pgi 3.3
