Summary:
Computational Frameworks, supporting multiple algorithms and applications
with common parallel, I/O, and other computational routines, can provide an excellent
substrate for application-scale benchmarks. Such benchmarks are essential
for estimating the effective performance of HPC systems for the purpose of system
procurement and live-long post-deployment tuning. The Cactus Computational
Framework is extremely portable and its modularity supports a variety of communication
substrates and numerical methods — offering wide-coverage of the HPC
applications domain.
