Performance evaluation of a seismic data analysis kernel on the KSR multiprocessors

The paper presents the results of performance analyses of a seismic analysis kernel code on the KSR multiprocessors. The purpose of such analysis is to understand the performance behaviors of a class of applications on shared memory parallel machines. The g5 kernel code, commonly used in seismic analysis applications, is parallelized, and its computational and I/O performance is analyzed on a 32-node KSR-1 and a 64-node KSR-2.<
