1 The TOP500 Project of the Universities Mannheim and Tennessee Hans Werner Meuer University of Mannheim EURO-PAR August September 2000 Munich/Germany

2 Outline TOP500 Approach HPC-Market as of 06/2000 Market Trends, Architecture Trends, Technology Trends WWW Service for TOP500 Future of TOP5000

3 Supercomputer and TOP500 What is a Supercomputer? 1980 s (early) - Vector computers - One main application area numerical, scientific and engineering Mannheim Supercomputer Statistics 1990 s -?

4 TOP500 Idea Assemble list of the XXX most powerful computers in the World and define them as Supercomputer Update as needed The problem is now shifted from defining Supercomputer to powerful Define powerful with a benchmark result

5 Linpack Benchmark measuring the solution of a dense system of linear equations Features: Most widely used benchmark on large systems Favors large memory Performance increases with problem size Not very sensitive to network performance No I/O! Still much better than peak performance

6 TOP500 Procedure Assemble list of the 500 most powerful computers in the World Yardstick for performance: Rmax of the LINPACK Updated twice a year: June at Supercomputer in Mannheim November at SCxx in USA Widely accepted after 15 editions

7 TOP500 Authors - Started in spring 1993 by: Hans W. Meuer and Erich Strohmaier - First list published in 6/93 together with Jack Dongarra

8 TOP500 Benefits - Basis for analysing the HCP market - Quantification of observations - Detection of trends market, architecture, technology

9 TOP500 Status 1. List in June 1993 Accepted by Users and Manufacturers 15. List on June 8, 2000

44 Status of HPC Benchmarking There is no agreed benchmark set for HPC systems Linpack and NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) are the only recent candidates System capabilities vary quite tremendously over time due to Moore s Law scalability problem

45 Status of Linpack Pure CPU benchmark Not sensitive to memory issues - but dependant on memory size Over-optimized compared to real applications Scalable over wide range slowly approaching its limits!

46 New Approach IDC 2000 Benchmark (Earl Joseph II) IDC Forum Mountain View, July 24-25, 2000 Erich Strohmaier: A new benchmark suite must be simple enough to be usable and maintainable, complex enough to reflect the influences of all system attributes of interest, and scalable to utizile resources in a variety of system sites.
