WACCM Power6 performance benchmarks

[chris_fletcher@utoronto_ca]

Hi, does anyone know roughly what performance one should expect from WACCM on a Power6 system (e.g., how many wallclock hours per model year at 2x and 4x resolution on however-many cores)?

Thanks in advance.

4x: ~ 4 wall-clock hours per simulation year on 32 CPUs
2x: ~ 6 wall-clock hours per simulation year on 128 CPUs
