We present the work performed at Quest, a high performance computing cluster at Northwestern University regarding benchmarking of software performed to guide software upgrades. We performed extensive evaluation of all MPI modules present on the system for functionality and performance in addition to testing a strategy to deploy architecture optimized software that can be loaded dynamically at runtime.
