Benchmarks and scalability on Blue Waters (NCSA)

Vasquez et al. measured Alya’s performance on the Blue Waters (NCSA) HPC system, for two different biomedical problems (incompressible flow in the respiratory system and non-linear solid mechanics coupled with electro-physiology of the human heart) with different mesh resolutions.

Strong scalability and efficiency plot for a respiratory system problem. For details see [Vasquez et al.](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1877750315300521) The results show an almost linear scalability up to a hundred thousand cores for the problem with larger mesh size and excellent scalability, with a 0.8 efficiency maintained up to 30K and 60K cores for respiratory and cardiac problem respectively.
