16 Dell HPC System for Manufacturing—System Architecture and Application Performance
building blocks is 11%; however, the slowest result is still within specification for the relevant processor
model.
Results of running HPL in parallel on the eight Explicit building blocks are presented in Figure 2. This bar
chart shows HPL performance from one to eight servers. This test demonstrates good scalability of the
system with up to eight Explicit building blocks.
