After some suggestions from @rbapat-ampere over in https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/19#issuecomment-1549607679, I'm going to be re-testing with a few different parameters, to get a feel for how things change:
Test matrix:
RAM | Ps / Qs | Blis library | Benchmark Result | Power Consumption |
---|---|---|---|---|
64 GB (4x 16 GB) | 4 / 24 |
default | 401.88 Gflops | 202W |
64 GB (4x 16 GB) | 8 / 12 |
default | 394.15 Gflops | 200W |
96 GB (6x 16 GB) | 4 / 24 |
default | 600.63 Gflops | 235W |
96 GB (6x 16 GB) | 8 / 12 |
default | 582.90 Gflops | 232W |
96 GB (4x 16 GB) | 8 / 12 |
ampere-optimized | 985.02 Gflops | 270W |
Note: For power consumption, I compared a Sonoff S31 power outlet adapter and a Kill-A-Watt power meter, and re-ran all tests on both. They were within 2W in spot measurements, and within 1W in averages over a 1 minute time period.
Trying to get the Ampere-optimized HPL run to work, but currently running into issues: https://github.com/AmpereComputing/HPL-on-Ampere-Altra/issues/3
I was originally going to test things by trying to swap their library into my install, but decided to just end-to-end try testing their docs in that repo.
Result with the ampere-optimized setup following these instructions:
root@adlink-ampere:/opt/hpl-2.3/bin/Altramax_oracleblis# mpirun -np 96 --bind-to core --map-by core --allow-run-as-root ./xhpl

Power measured at average of 270W (spiking to about 272W, dipping to 245W). Efficiency: 3.64 Gflops/W
Just noting that my M1 Max results may also improved from a native BLAS library—see, for example: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/42312
@geerlingguy Glad to see the jump in scores. But we are still leaving some performance on the table. On the Ampere Altra Developer Platform I was able to get 1253 GFlops for HPL using the optimized BLIS. Here's a screen cap from the document :
@rbapat-ampere - Interesting... I ran with 100000
Ns, and 8/12 P/Q, and that was how I got the 985.02 Gflops. Can you think of anything else I might've missed. I followed the instructions from here explicitly, and ran them all on a brand new fresh Ubuntu 22.04 Server install.
@geerlingguy I rebuilt, reran HPL + Optimized BLIS from scratch (using the instructions) on a fresh Ubuntu installed AADP and got very similar scores to my previous results. Here are my current scores

@rbapat-ampere - I shall reformat and run it again :)
Can you also confirm what RAM layout you're using? Is it 6x 16 GB sticks, or something else? That seems to have an outsize effect on the results.
It seems like the RAM vendor is the only major difference—I'm running industrial-type Transcend RAM, and @rbapat-ampere is running Samsung... I may need to change vendors and see if that gets our numbers more in line (stranger things have happened!).
I'm also planning on re-testing on a 128 core CPU soon too...
New result is 1188.3 Gflops at 296W, for 4.01 Gflops/W
