Research studies on parallel systems often use benchmark programs. One such suite of programs, SPLASH-2 (Woo, 1995), contains code for applications, such as the Barnes-Hut N-body calculation, L-U factorization of matrices, and simulations. Obtain this suite and evaluate the applications on your DSM parallel/cluster computer system.
