Chunk Validation Experiments
CRM: Column Radiation Model extracted from the CCM
- 6% of floating point operations are sqrt, 3% are fdiv
- exp, log, and pow are among top six most frequently called functions
Fixed vertical dimension (18 levels) and total number of columns (512)
Varying number of columns per chunk
Complicating factors
- Compiler optimizations
- Memory contention between processes in a shared memory node
