Tachyon primary system which introduces recently is a high performance supercomputer that composed with AMD Barcelona nodes. In this paper, we will verify the performance and parallel scalability of TachyonIn by using multi-zone NAS Parallel Benchmark(NPB) which is one of a program with hybrid parallel method. To test performance of hybrid parallel execution, B and C classes of BT-MZ in NPB version 3.3 were used. And the parallel scalability test has finished with Tachyon's 1024 processes. It is the first time in Korea to get a result of hybrid parallel computing calculation using more than 1024 processes. Hybrid parallel method in high performance computing system with multi-core technology like Tachyon describes that it can be very efficient and useful parallel performance benchmarks.

Parallel computing method is widely used in the computational fluid dynamics for efficient numerical analysis. Nowadays, low cost Linux cluster computers substitute for traditional supercomputers with parallel computing shcemes. The performance of nemerical solvers on an Linux cluster computer is highly dependent not on the performance of processors but on the performance of network devices in the cluster system. In this paper, we investigated the effects of the network devices such as Myrinet2000, gigabit ethernet, and fast ethernet on the performance of the cluster system by using some benchmark programs such as Netpipe, LINPACK, NAS NPB, and MPINS2D Navier-Stokes solvers. Finally, upon this investigation, we will suggest the method for building high performance low cost Linux cluster system in the computational fluid dynamics analysis.

전산유체역학분야의 고속 연산을 위해서 병렬처리가 보편화되고 있으며 이러한 병렬해석은 주로 클러스터에서 저렴한 비용으로 수행되고 있다. 전산유체역학을 위한 클러스터 컴퓨터에서의 해석프로그램의 성능은 클러스터에 사용되는 프로세서의 성능뿐만 아니라 클러스터 내부의 통신 장비의 성능에 크게 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 컴퓨터의 구축에 널리 사용되고 있는 Myrinet2000, Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet 등의 네트웍 장치에 대해서 Netpipe, Linpack, NAS NPB, 그리고 MPINS2D Navier-Stokes 해석프로그램을 사용하여 성능을 비교하였다. 이를 통해서 향후 전산유체역학을 위한 클러스터 구축시 최대의 가격대 성능비를 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.
