Thread-topic: [EnergyPlus_Support] Any geeks out there? EnergyPlus CPU benchmarks

Hi Santiago,

The second table on the page is for multithread performance. 3770K is still on the top, but I guess 3930K/3960X/3970X will be faster. I hope someone can test an Opteron 6100/6200 machine, too, as they have 12/16 cores.

My little announcement may help answer your other question…

Cheers,

Thanks for sharing Yi!

I definitely need to get a new computer. Interesting to find out that the difference can be 10 times as much time.

I see $Core i7-3770K OC with Ubuntu being fastest with a single thread, have you measured for multiple thread? is it still fastest? I guess the real question is, what is your conclusion about the most cost effective (Processor + OS) option for doing parametric analysis on the cloud (eg. EC2)?

Ill send feedback when I start measuring this as well.

Cheers,

Santiago.

Hi,

We’ve been testing computers with a set of E+ models, and here are the results: http://www.iesd.dmu.ac.uk/~jeplus/wiki/doku.php?id=docs:eplustest

If you think your E+ simulation is a bit slow, get a new computer or upgrade the processor may help A LOT!

Cheers,
