| Description | The HPC Challenge (HPCC)$ ^{1}$ benchmark suite was initially developed for the DARPA's HPCS program [Kep04] to provide a set of standardized hardware probes based on commonly occurring computational software kernels. The HPCS program has initiated a fundamental reassessment of how we define and measure performance, programmability, portability, robustness, and ultimately, productivity in the high-end domain. Consequently, the suite was aimed to both provide conceptual expression of the underlying computation as well as be applicable to a broad spectrum of computational science fields. Clearly, a number of compromises must have led to the current form of the suite given such a broad scope of design requirements. HPCC was designed to approximately bound computations of high and low spatial and temporal locality (see Figure 2.1 which gives the conceptual design space for the HPCC component tests). In addition, because the HPCC tests consist of simple mathematical operations, this provides a unique opportunity to look at language and parallel programming model issues. As such, the benchmark is to serve both the system user and designer communities [Kah97]. Figure 2.1 The application areas targeted by the HPCS program are bound by the HPCC tests in the memory access locality space. Book Name: Contemporary High Performance Computing |
