definitely stress the processor(s) and memory, especially the bandwidth. I would recommend running single-core tests and tests that use all of the cores (i.e., MPI or OpenMP).

Applying these lessons to HPC, you might ask, “how do I tinker with HPC?” The answer is far from simple. In terms of hardware, a few PCs, an Ethernet switch, and MPI get you a small cluster; or, a video card
