What are the prospects for running OpenMP applications on clusters? This paper gives an overview of the SCore cluster enabled OpenMP environment, provides performance data for some of the fundamental underlying operations, and reports overall performance for a model computational science application (the finite difference solution of the 2D Laplace equation).Keywords: Computer programming; Computer programming languages; Computer science; Distributed memory clusters; Shared memory; Data storage equipment20052015-12-12
