Hardware Benchmarking - Results

CPU Results

The following table summarises the runtimes for a range of computers. More will be added when additional results are obtained. The table is ordered based on the combined 20m Classic and HPC CPU runtimes, with the fastest computers at the top of the table.
Runtimes for CPU benchmarks

GPU Results

The following table summarises the runtimes for a range of computers. More will be added when additional results are obtained. The table is ordered based on the combined 20m and 10m runtimes with the fastest computers at the top of the table.
The HPC GPU benchmark only uses a single GPU card. TUFLOW HPC GPU can be run across multiple nVidia GPU devices. However, the benefits of these are typically more noticeable for larger models with more than 1 million cells.

** The output  cpu.txt only provides the 'out of the box' processor speed. If you have overclocked your cpu, then please send these details through to TUFLOW Support so we can add the correct clock speed.  

High End GPU Results

A number of additional benchmarking tests have been completed on a 5m and 2.5m model on a single GPU card.
