Achieving High Performance on a Network of Workstations

 

If a network meets the following guidelines, ScaLAPACK will perform well on it (see section 5.1.1). If a network of workstations does not meet one or more of these guidelines, read the rest of this chapter for more information.

Vendor specifications and actual performance often differ considerably, especially in communication latency and bandwidth. Users should make sure that they are using the most efficient BLAS and BLACS available on their system.
