HPL: Will experiment with several tuning configurations that consider OpenMP support within OpenBLAS, thus reducing intra-node communication overhead.
STREAM: We will explore several MPI+OpenMP configurations to achieve maximum memory bandwidth across the cluster.
D-LLAMA 3 8B: We will compare the performance for different BLAS implementations and determine whether quantization is beneficial given our cluster setup.
Hashcat: Will research and experiment with application, benchmarking with various hash digests (MD5, SHA256, SHA512). We will also explore using a hybrid cracking technique before moving onto a brute force approach.
Mystery Application: Will research into the provided application to ensure completion within the allotted timeframe.
