HTC Benchmarking – System Specifications <br />
This section will cover the details about the HTC benchmarking setup <strong>and</strong> system specifications used to compare <br />
the in-‐house vs. cloud computing instances. An introduction to the HEPSEPC06 benchmark that is used for the HTC <br />
benchmarking is already included in the deliverable <strong>D2</strong>.2. Moreover, for HPC benchmarking system specifications <br />
<strong>and</strong> benchmark results, please also refer to the <strong>D2</strong>.2. <br />
In-‐House HTC Systems Specification <br />
Two different systems are used in-‐house at the INFN data centre to run the HEPSEPC06 benchmark. Below are the <br />
system specifications for the two systems: <br />
• System with Intel S<strong>and</strong>y Bridge <br />
o Hardware: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-‐2660 @ 2.2 GHz, 2 x 8 cores, 64 GB memory <br />
o Software: Scientific Linux 6.2, 64-‐bit platform with Hyper-‐Threading enabled. GNU C compiler. <br />
• AMD Opteron <br />
o Hardware: 6272 (aka Interlagos) @ 2.1 GHz, 2 x 16 cores, 64 GB memory <br />
o Software: Scientific Linux 6.2, 64-‐bit platform, GNU C compiler. <br />
Amazon EC2 Instances Specification <br />
Following Amazon EC2 instances types are used to run the HEPSPEC06 benchmark: M1 Medium, M1 Large, M1 <br />
Extra-‐Large, M3 Extra-‐Large <strong>and</strong> M3 Double Extra-‐Large. Below are the system specifications for each of the <br />
instance: <br />
• M1 Medium Instance <br />
o Hardware: 2 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 2 EC2 Compute Unit), 410 GB instance <br />
storage, 3.75 GB memory <br />
o Software: Scientific Linux 6.2, 64-‐bit platform with Hyper-‐Threading enabled. GNU C compiler. <br />
• M1 Large Instance <br />
o Hardware: 4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each) 850 GB instance <br />
storage, 7.5 GB memory <br />
o Software: Scientific Linux 6.2, 64-‐bit platform with Hyper-‐Threading enabled. GNU C compiler. <br />
• M1 Extra-‐Large Instance <br />
o Hardware: 8 EC2 Compute Units (4 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each) 1,690 GB <br />
instance storage, 15 GB memory <br />
o Software: Scientific Linux 6.2, 64-‐bit platform with Hyper-‐Threading enabled. GNU C compiler. <br />
• M3 Extra-‐Large Instance <br />
o Hardware: 13 EC2 Compute Units (4 virtual cores with 3.25 EC2 Compute Units each), 15 GB <br />
memory <br />
o Software: Scientific Linux 6.2, 64-‐bit platform with Hyper-‐Threading enabled. GNU C compiler. <br />
• M3 Double Extra-‐Large Instance <br />
o Hardware: 26 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 3.25 EC2 Compute Units each), 30 GB <br />
memory <br />
o Software: Scientific Linux 6.2, 64-‐bit platform with Hyper-‐Threading enabled. GNU C compiler. <br />
