IXPUG BoF at SC21
Best Practices for Benchmarking Diverse Architectures with Varied Workloads
This BoF, organized by the Intel eXtreme Performance Computing Users Group, will focus on sharing expertise in benchmarking computing systems across a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures with a variety of workloads. With increasing heterogeneity, the accurate and adequate comparison of performance across architectures and applications has become a growing challenge. This BoF will explore current approaches and best practices for benchmarking heterogeneous systems and exotic architectures, with the goal of identifying a unified set of principles and practices that can be leveraged to produce benchmarking results that are appropriate for direct comparison across sites, architectures, and applications.
