Benchmarks

The B1 procurement consists of three synthetic benchmarks to verify mandatory requirements. Although it contains open source software only, it must be downloaded from this site to ensure the very same version is used by all vendors.

• Intel(R) MPI benchmark (ZIP archive)
• IOR and mdtest benchmarks (ZIP archive)
• IOR benchmark input file (ASCII text file)

In addition, four application benchmarks are used for evaluation of the tender:

• Bifrost (compressed tar archive)
  - the README file is the only change between v.1.1 and v.1.1.1
• NorESM (compressed tar archive)
• LSDalton (compressed tar archive)
• MGLET (compressed tar archive)

Suppliers need to contact the customer through Visma TendSign for access. A one-time link to set username and password will then be received by email. Please ignore the advice to log into sigma2.no/user. Navigate directly to this page and click on items to download. You will then be asked for your username and password. Only one account per supplier will be provided.

NorESM download

Because of the size of the archive (83 GB), downloads of NorESM using popular browsers often fail. If you experience download problems with NorESM, please contact us via Visma TendSign for a password free download link.
