45 What s new with the TOP500? HPL: High Performance Linpack Antoine Petitet and Clint Whaley, ICL, UTK icl.cs.utk.edu/hpl Needs only MPI BLAS or VSIPL Highly scalable and efficient for the whole range of system sizes we see

46 What s new with the TOP500? New database interface at More categories and variables to select or list experimental cross-linked lists Ad s corner (Ad Emmen) Architecture descriptions (Aad van der Steen)

47 What s next with the TOP500? What s now? New application areas of Supercomputers New architectures for Supercomputers Self-made systems

48 Implications Commercial DB systems don t care about floating point New architectures - compute farms not designed to run Linpack Self-made cluster no vendor to measure Linpack every system is different

49 TOP500 Plans Talks with experts since 3 years on how to resolve these issues Q: How can we provide better information for different application and architecture domains? A: Make additional lists

50 TOP500 Plans Keep current TOP500 Continuity, trends, 16 existing editions 17th: Supercomputer 2001 Mannheim/Heidelberg, Germany, June 21-23, 2001 The current TOP500 will remain center of future activities

51 TOP500 Plans Assemble additional lists for special purposes - first try: TOP100 (commodity) cluster Jointly with TFCC But what is a cluster??? Which benchmark? Initially without

52 TOP500 Plans Collaborate with research centers (NERSC, ICL,...) which develop new benchmarks Feedback about benchmarks TOP500.org will provide free access to benchmark results and possibilities for re-ranking

53 TOP500 Future Right now in development: New DB design with direct user input Site centric instead of system centric Set up for multiple benchmarks Access to detailed architecture information All searchable and cross-link-able To facilitate more research about results

54 TOP500 Future Eventually: Hierarchical structure Master List (current TOP500?) Domain specific sub-lists ranked differently Historical information about systems Access to benchmark and architecture information
