Abstract

This document provides an overview of the benchmark ? HPGMG ? for ranking large scale general purpose computers for use on the Top500 list [8]. We provide a rationale for the need for a replacement for the current metric HPL, some background of the Top500 list and the challenges of developing such a metric; we discuss our design philosophy and methodology, and an overview of the specification of the benchmark. The primary documentation with maintained details on the specification can be found at hpgmg.org and the Wiki and benchmark code itself can be found in the repository https://bitbucket.org/hpgmg/hpgmg.

Introduction to the HPC Challenge Benchmark Suite

Conference Luszczek, Piotr ; Dongarra, Jack J ; Koester, David ; ...

The HPC Challenge benchmark suite has been released by the DARPA HPCS program to help define the performance boundaries of future Petascale computing systems. HPC Challenge is a suite of tests that examine the performance of HPC architectures using kernels with memory access patterns more challenging than those of the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark used in the Top500 list. Thus, the suite is designed to augment the Top500 list, providing benchmarks that bound the performance of many real applications as a function of memory access characteristics e.g., spatial and temporal locality, and providing a framework for including additional tests.more »« less

Hospital Energy Benchmarking Guidance - Version 1.0

Technical Report Singer, Brett C

This document describes an energy benchmarking framework for hospitals. The document is organized as follows. The introduction provides a brief primer on benchmarking and its application to hospitals. The next two sections discuss special considerations including the identification of normalizing factors. The presentation of metrics is preceded by a description of the overall framework and the rationale for the grouping of metrics. Following the presentation of metrics, a high-level protocol is provided. The next section presents draft benchmarks for some metrics; benchmarks are not available for many metrics owing to a lack of data. This document ends with a listmore »« less

Understanding the Performance and Potential of Cloud Computing for Scientific Applications

Journal Article Sadooghi, Iman ; Martin, Jesus Hernandez ; Li, Tonglin ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing

In this paper, commercial clouds bring a great opportunity to the scientific computing area. Scientific applications usually require significant resources, however not all scientists have access to sufficient high-end computing systems, may of which can be found in the Top500 list. Cloud Computing has gained the attention of scientists as a competitive resource to run HPC applications at a potentially lower cost. But as a different infrastructure, it is unclear whether clouds are capable of running scientific applications with a reasonable performance per money spent. This work studies the performance of public clouds and places this performance in context tomore »« less

Toward a new metric for ranking high performance computing systems.

Technical Report Heroux, Michael Allen ; Dongarra, Jack.

The High Performance Linpack (HPL), or Top 500, benchmark [1] is the most widely recognized and discussed metric for ranking high performance computing systems. However, HPL is increasingly unreliable as a true measure of system performance for a growing collection of important science and engineering applications. In this paper we describe a new high performance conjugate gradient (HPCG) benchmark. HPCG is composed of computations and data access patterns more commonly found in applications. Using HPCG we strive for a better correlation to real scientific application performance and expect to drive computer system design and implementation in directions that will bettermore » impact performance improvement.« less

Solving a trillion unknowns per second with HPGMG on Sunway TaihuLight

Journal Article Ma, Wenjing ; Ao, Yulong ; Yang, Chao ; ... - Cluster Computing

Benchmarks for supercomputers are important tools, not only for evaluating and ranking modern supercomputers, but also for providing hints for future architecture design. As a new benchmark, HPGMG (high performance geometric multigrid) solves a linear equation set with a full geometric multi-grid algorithm. It involves computation on different scales, data movement with various volumes, global communication and neighbor communication with both large and small messages, etc., and is more correlated to real world applications than traditional benchmarks such as LINPACK. Therefore, it is desirable to examine how well HPGMG can perform on leadership supercomputers such as Sunway Taihulight. Sunway Taihulight,more »« less
