The simulation code GIZMO is a flexible, multi-method magneto-hydrodynamics+gravity code. The code lets you solve the hydrodynamic equations using a variety of different methods – whatever is best for the problem at hand. In particular, it introduces a couple of new, Lagrangian Godunov-type methods, that allow you to solve the fluid equations with a moving particle distribution that is automatically adaptive in resolution and avoids the advection errors, angular momentum conservation errors, and excessive diffusion problems that seriously limit the applicability of “adaptive mesh” (AMR) codes, while simultaneously avoiding the low-order errors inherent to simpler methods like smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH). source

The benchmark constructed contains 128 ^3 (~ 2.1 million) dark matter and 128 ^3 (~ 2.1 million) gas particles in 32 Mpc^3 volume. The initial conditions were generated using the MUSIC utility. The simulation is run from a scale factor of 0.2 (z=4) to a scale factor of 0.7 (z=0.42), in order to reduce total run time. Only a few output snapshots are generated to minimize IO overheads.

Check that the dynamic libraries (Intel, GCC and GSL) are sourced (they should be from the bashrc file sourced previously).

ldd GIZMO

Download the benchmark here: gas32n128.tar.gz

cd ..

cp ../GIZMO/GIZMO .

Run the benchmark using the script provided.

./run.sh

The script reports the total runtime (and dumps to time.log). The number of simulation time steps is available from the timings.txt file in the output directory.

tail output/timings.txt

From here, the metric 'timesteps per hour' can be determined. The runtime for this benchmark on the Dell C4130 (24 Haswell cores) is 92 minutes.
