Benchmarks

In this section will be shown some benckmarks used for testing DMASON. For each of them will be provided a description and the reasons. Each test was running on a cluster with each node has the following features:

• Processors: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon E5-2680, 8C, 2.7GHz, 20M Cache
  

• Memory: 16GB DDR3
  

• Hard Drive: 1TB
  

The below fields describe a simulation configuration:

• AOI: Area of interest
• NumAgents: Number of agents to simulate
• Width: Simulation field width
• Heigth: Simulation field width
• Rows: Rows number used for simulation field partitioning
• Columns: Columns number used for simulation field partitioning
• Mode: Indicates the kind of partitioning to use

Strong scalability

This benchmark is useful for pushing the system to the extreme and measuring the its capability when it is used for a massive amount of work.

The banckmark has been performed wih the following configuration using a uniform partitioning:

• AOI: 10
• NumAgents: 3 Bilions
• Width: 1000
• Heigth: 1000
• Rows: [1-8]
• Columns: [1-8]

Both rows and colums value changes following this mapping:

| LPs | Rows | Columns | LPs for node |

|:---:|:----:|:-------:|:------------:|

| 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | | 8 | 2 | 4 | 1 | | 16 | 4 | 4 | 1 | | 32 | 4 | 8 | 1 | | 64 | 8 | 8 | 1 | | 128 | 8 | 8 | 2 |
