Abstract

General performance measurement tools, as provided on a SGI-Power Challenge/R10000 (194 MHz) running IRIX 6.2, which are the shell-commands perfex -a a.out and ssrun -[pcsampl, ideal, usertime] a.out, have been used for profiling a new SCF-program based on the Hartree Fock theory. The main cpu-time-consuming subroutine was detected and a parallel version with PVM 3.3 at a host-node model has been deduced. Speed-up parameters are presented and discussed.
