A High-Performance Computing Cluster for Parallel Simulation of Petroleum Reservoirs

Overview This white paper examines compute-intensive benchmark tests performed on an Intel Xeon processor-based Dell PowerEdge server cluster running the Red Hat Linux operating system. To determine how configuration factors affect a standards-based high performance computing (HPC) cluster, the study explores the scalability of a parallel petroleum reservoir simulator when varying the network interconnect type, test case size, and configuration. Each test was run twice to compare the results of single-processor versus dual-processor nodes.
