Abstract:

After 10 years’ development, the China HPC TOP100 rank list has become the de facto industry standard on ranking the fastest supercomputers in  mainland China. Prof. Yunquan Zhang, etc., from the Institute of Software, CAS, give a detailed analysis and review on the performance, manufacturer, and application area development of 10 years’ China HPC TOP100 rank list. They discuss the reasonability on continually adopting the Linpack as a benchmarking standard, the possibility of adding the success rate of Linpack benchmarking as the reliability metric of supercomputing systems, and the importance of the rules on applying and verifying the submitted benchmarking results of HPC TOP100.
