Hi All
We are currently performing our HS06 benchmarking for the new WN at the Tier-1. The hardware was the same as last year, so I wasn’t expecting any surprises…. The work was being done by our very talented apprentice (Dominic) and he found he was unable to run the the test using the latest versions of SL7 that we run. This was because various 32 bit packages no longer get bundled. He ‘solved' the problem by changing the flag in the test to 64 bit which gave us a HS06 about 100 higher per box than before (~900 rather than ~800). In order to get a HS06 score using the 32 bit packages we have had to roll back to an older version of SL7, which seems to be a bit silly.
Has anybody else run into this or a similar problem? It might be a relatively minor problem for us this year, but this is only going to get worse. Do we need to push (again) for an updated benchmark? I know it is HEPiX this week, so if there is anybody in San Diego in the benchmarking WG, it might be a good time to mention this again.
Thanks
Alastair
