Evaluating the Evaluation: A Benchmarking Checklist

Brendan Gregg

These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

Supercomputing Predictions: Custom CPUs, CXL3.0, and Petalith Architectures

Adrian Cockcroft

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. In early January a related paper was published by Satoshi Matsuoka et. petaflops, which is 0.8%
