Parallelization of CC Workshop Benchmark Suggestion Sudhakar Pamidighantam NCSA

General Benchmark needs Benchmarks standardization is important but comparison with/between codes could be problematic if license statements prohibit such activity The information should provide users a guide lines to their own parallel runs The benchmarks between heterogeneous systems may not be comparable except for total time to solution Benchmarking is used to evaluate systems for price/performance and should be a continuous process NSF has a set that could be a start if we want one

Heterogeneous systems GPU/CPU/FPGA count and their usage Cache amounts and bandwidths

Goal for Benchmarks Automatic processor count/type selection Problem specificity On the fly benchmarking for specific distribution cpu/io

Systems NSF Set Natural systems easy to systematically grow like benzene--- hexacene…./Polymer/Argon clusters to define some constant work/data per processing unit Method dependent
