This article discusses various toolsavailable for server diagnostics at the tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 levels, along with bestpractices for the use of server diagnostic tools.Evaluating File-Serving Performance ofthe Dell PowerEdge 700 ServerBy Yi-Ming Xiong, Ph.D.The Dell PowerEdge 700 demonstrated a considerableperformance gain compared to its predecessor, the PowerEdge 600SC, when Dellengineers measured its file-serving performance using Ziff Davis NetBench. This articleexplains the findings of this comparison test, including results for CPU frequency,cache size, and memory size tests performed on the PowerEdge 700 server.Understanding Performance of MolecularDynamics and Quantum MechanicsApplications on Dell HPC ClustersBy Kalyana Chadalavada and Srivathsa NSHigh-performance computing (HPC) clusters are proving to be suitable environmentsfor running a wide range of parallel-processing applications. This articlediscusses the performance and scalability of two domain-specific scientificapplications—NAMD (for molecular dynamics) and DFT++ (density-functionaltheory)—on a Dell PowerEdge HPC cluster running Linux.Considering Middleware Optionsin High-Performance Computing ClustersBy Rinku Gupta, Monica Kashyap, Yung-Chin Fang,and Saeed Iqbal, Ph.D.Middleware is a critical component for the development and porting of parallelprocessingapplications in distributed HPC cluster infrastructures. This articledescribes the evolution of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard specificationas well as both open source and commercial MPI implementations that can beused to enhance Dell HPC cluster environments.Altiris Inc. .......................................................61Avocent Corporation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5CommVault ......................................................73Dell Inc.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .29, 65, 69, 77Emulex Corporation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17Enterasys. .......................................................49Intel Corporation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
