[Gems-users] Ruby cycles variability

[Lois Orosa Nogueira <lois.orosa@xxxxxx>]

Hi list,

I'm simulating barnes in 16 processor system with LogTM, perfect 
filters.  I'm running the test with 1024 bodys and I obtain very 
diferent results for the same test in the same machine if I only change 
the RANDOM_SEED. For instance, with random_seed=213 , 
Ruby_cycles=8550826, and with random_seed=53 , Ruby_cycles=9531861.
Is it normal so big variability?


Thanks
Lois
