SeaDAS Benchmarks

The following benchmarks were calculated using the seadas_benchmarks.bash script. This script processes the MODIS Aqua Level-1A 5 minute granule A2006167181000.L1A_LAC from Level-1A through to Level-3. This data file and script are available from our ftp site in the seadas_benchmarks.tar.gz file. The script calculates both the CPU times (user+sys) and wall clock times (real) required for each of the following processing steps:
If you perform benchmarks, please email the results (including machine, CPU, RAM, OS, and kernel info) to seadas at seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov for inclusion in this table.

All times are in seconds and are indicated in [cpu time] / [wall clock time] order.
