That's a difficult question to answer. Many of our default algorithms use disk and can become I/O intensive. However, those same algorithms can be directed to do "direct" calculations, avoiding disk and becoming compute intensive. A third variable is when you run in parallel, where the network bandwidth and latency can become an issue for certain algorithms.
Thanks,

This is my first post on this community. I have a "technical" question about the NWChem software. Is it considered as an I/O intensive application or it is more of compute (i.e. CPU) intensive?
Thanks... |
