The Convex SPP-1000, the most recent SPC. is distinguished by a true global shared memory capability based on the first commercial version of directory based cache coherence mechanisms and SCI protocol. The system was evaluated at NASA/GSFC in the Beta-test environment using three classes of operational experiments targeting Earth and space science applications. A multiple program workload tested job-stream level parallelism. Synthetic pro-grams measured overhead costs of barrier; fork-join, and message passing synchronization primitives. An efficient tree-code version of an N-body simulation revealed scaling properties and measured the overall effcienct This paper presents the results of this study and provides the earliest published evaluation of this new scalable architecture.
