Serverworks chip sets

[Steffen Persvold]

Here are a more meaningful comparision. The comparison is between a Tyan
S2510 based on the LE chipset and a Supermicro 370DER based on the HE-SL
chipset.

Both machines are equipped with 2x PIII-800EB(133) CPUs and 512MByte
PC-133 SDRAM

Using one CPU:

370DER:
   ----------------------------------------------
    Double precision appears to have 16 digits of accuracy
    Assuming 8 bytes per DOUBLE PRECISION word
   ----------------------------------------------
    Array size =    2000000
    Offset     =          0
    The total memory requirement is   45 MB
    You are running each test  20 times
    --
    The *best* time for each test is used
    *EXCLUDING* the first and last iterations
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Your clock granularity appears to be less than one microsecond
    Your clock granularity/precision appears to be      1 microseconds
    ----------------------------------------------------
   Function     Rate (MB/s)  Avg time   Min time  Max time
   Copy:        374.2689      0.0855      0.0855      0.0856
   Scale:       401.9594      0.0796      0.0796      0.0797
   Add:         475.5536      0.1010      0.1009      0.1010
   Triad:       475.1911      0.1011      0.1010      0.1012

Using both CPUs (OMP makes it a bit easier and adds the numbers for me):

As you can see the two-way interleaving helps a bit on a Dual-CPU run
(~35% more bandwidth)
