The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

It ranks the world’s 500 most powerful supercomputers based on their performance as measured by the Linpack benchmark. This is vividly reflected in the design on the Titan supercomputer , which is still among the world’s top 10 most powerful supercomputers (as of the November 2018 Top500 list). You may have heard of the Top500 list.

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.
