Dear all, further the emails back in 2020 around the HPCG benchmark test, as we are in the process of getting a new cluster I was wondering if somebody else in the meantime has used that test to benchmark the particular performance of the cluster. From what I can see, the latest HPCG version is 3.1 from August 2019. I also have noticed that their website has a link to download a version which includes the latest A100 GPUs from nVidia. https://www.hpcg-benchmark.org/software/view.html?id=280
What I was wondering is: has anybody else apart from Prentice tried that test and is it somehow useful, or does it just give you another set of numbers? Our new cluster will not be at the same league as the supercomputers, but we would like to have at least some kind of handle so we can compare the various offers from vendors. My hunch is the benchmark will somehow (strongly?) depend on how it is tuned. As my former colleague used to say: I am looking for some war stories (not very apt to say these days!). Either way, I hope you are all well given the strange new world we are living in right now. All the best from a spring like dark London Jörg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
