Here’s some predictions I’m making: Jack Dongarra’s efforts to highlight the low efficiency of the HPCG benchmark as an issue will influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. Next generation architectures will use CXL3.0 petaflops, which is 0.8% of peak capacity.

Why RPC is “faster” It’s tempting to simply write a micro-benchmark test where we issue 1000 requests to a server over HTTP and then repeat the same test with asynchronous messages. But to be fair, we also have to process the messages on the server before we can consider the messaging case to be complete.
