In the beginning of supercomputer performance measurement there was Linpack. This benchmark, the gold standard for measuring high-performance computing, has been the basis for the TOP500 supercomputer ...
The way supercomputer power is measured is about to change. Since 1993, the much-celebrated bi-annual TOP500 list is compiled using Jack Dongarra’s benchmark system, called Linpack. It is the most ...
In order to compare the speeds at which supercomputers operate, they need to be performing the same tasks. The Linpack benchmark measures how fast a computer solves dense systems of linear equations ...
Primed goes in-depth on the technobabble you hear on Engadget every day -- we dig deep into each topic's history and how it benefits our lives. Looking to suggest a piece of technology for us to break ...
When we cover the bi-annual listing of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, the metric at the heart of those results, the high performance Linpack benchmark, the gold standard for over two ...
The developer of the most widely used test for ranking the performance of supercomputers has said his metric is out of date and proposed a new test that will be introduced starting in November. Jack ...
There are dozens of ways to usefully measure the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputers – everything from the speed of a system’s internal communications network and its ability to randomly ...
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tachyum ®, creator of Prodigy ®, the world’s first Universal Processor, today announced it has successfully completed vector-based High-Performance LINPACK (HPL) testing ...
The High Performance Conjugate Gradients (HPCG) Benchmark list was announced this week at SC15. This is the fourth list produced for the emerging benchmark designed to complement the traditional High ...
The developer of the most widely used test for ranking the performance of supercomputers has said his metric is out of date and proposed a new test that will be introduced starting in November. Jack ...
The new test should be a better measure of performance but could lead to disagreement over who has the world's fastest system The developer of the most widely used test for ranking the performance of ...
