SPECFEM3D

simulates acoustic (fluid), elastic (solid), coupled acoustic/elastic, poroelastic or seismic wave propagation in any type of conforming mesh of hexahedra. This test profile currently relies on CPU-based execution for SPECFEM3D and using a variety of their built-in examples/models for benchmarking.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark specfem3d.

Performance Metrics

SPECFEM3D 4.1.1

Model: Layered Halfspace

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 129 public results since 6 April 2024 with the latest data as of 4 May 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (SPECFEM3D 4.1.1 - Model: Layered Halfspace) has an average run-time of 6 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
