The benchmarking of the Nanoelectronic Modeling Tool (NEMO 1-D) on a variety of different computational platforms is presented. Three platforms are evaluated as possible development platforms for continued NEMO work. These platforms are SUN E450 Ultra-Sparc 2 (300 MHz), SGI Origin 2000 (200 MHz), and HP V class 8000 (200 MHz). The benchmarking issues to be addressed are 1) single CPU and 2) shared memory multiple CPU performance on a wide variety of physical models, and 3) compilation speeds. Several compiler optimizations were examined on the individual platforms and tested against the standard NEMO binary, which is provided by Raytheon. Several other platforms available to the High Performance Computing Group (HPC) have been benchmarked as well: HP/Convex SPP-2000 (180 MHz), SGI Onyx (200 MHz), LINUX based Pentium Pro (200 MHz), SUN Sparc-Ultra 1 (170 MHz). These machines are tested as possible execution platforms for NEMO.
