What is a goid benchmark today for supercomputers? TFLOPS don’t seem to be a good measure, because it’s relatively easy to deploy tens of thousands of servers. Is it the latency of the interconnection? Or the bandwidth? Or something entirely different?
- nabla9 4y agoThey never have used flops to measure supercomputer performance. Its GFLOPS in HPLinpack (dense matrice multiplication)
- the_svd_doctor 4y agoHard/impossible to respond. Every workload is different. It can be mostly compute bound (Linpack), communication bound, a mix, very latency sensitive, etc. Imho, it just depends on the workflow and we should probably use multiple metrics instead of just Linpack peak TFLOPS.
- alar44 4y agoThat's like asking what the benchmark for an engine is. It all depends on what you're trying to do with it. There's no single metric to compare a diesel semi truck engine to a 2 stroke golf cart. You need multiple measures and the importance of each is dependent on your workload.
