The BOAST-PDL code is used to perform oil reservoir simulations in wells. The serial version was provided and parallelised by Dr S.Khashan from the Petroleum Development Laboratory, University of Alaska, Fairbanks with support from Parallel Software Products. The following results show the performance of the ParaWise generated parallel BOAST-PDL code.

Code information: 2200 lines of source and 15 subroutines

Total Parallelization Time using ParaWise : Approximately 1 hour.

User Time: Approximately 15 minutes.

  Results

  Sun Fire E25K

The results show the performance of a ParaWise generated message passing code on a Sun Fire E25K machine using UltraSparc IV 1.05 GHz processors (RWTH Aachen University). The results shown are for a 1000x1000x1 test case.

SGI Origin 2000
IBM SP
Cray T3E
SGI IA64 Linux Cluster

The results shown are for a 500x500x1 test case. The same code was transported (via ftp) to the different parallel platforms, compiled and linked with CAPLib to create the parallel executable.
