The Surprising Effectiveness of Non-Overlapping, Sensitivity-Based Performance Models

John McCalpin

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

Top500 list: a brief introduction

PDC

This is also commonly known as “double precision” on many computer systems. Over the years, the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputers have reached teraFLOPS (10 12 FLOPS) in 1997 and petaFLOPS (10 15 FLOPS) in 2008, and the next milestone is exaFLOPS (10 18 FLOPS). The Top500 list (Nov 2018). Statistics for (co-)processors.
