From help-request at octave dot org Mon Mar 28 16:37:45 2005 Subject: Octave on IRIX64 - Origin 2000 8 way From: "Brett L. Trotter" To: help at octave dot org Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 15:03:26 -0600 I have an Origin 2000 8x250mhz box and an Origin 200 2x270mhz. I'd like to know what i really need to do to take advantage of those machines either individually or as a group. I saw some links regarding parallelized Octave, but those seem to be MPI based. While the Origin series machines can use MPI, it seems a little wasteful considering the distributed shared memory model. So what package(s) and/or compile options do I need to really get Octave up to its full potential? And a second question, are there some good octave benchmarks around so that I could demonstrate the speed of the 8 way SGI box versus a 2 way Sun box?
