Effective runtime scalability metric to measure productivity in high performance computing systems
Jing Du, Xuejun Yang, Zhiyuan Wang · 2008
Current high performance computing systems all rely on parallel processing techniques to achieve high performance. With the parallel computer systems scaling up, the new generation of high performance computers puts more emphasis on "high productivity" [1], rather than "high performance" as in the past. These new systems will not only meet the traditional requirements of computing performance, but also address the ongoing technical challenges in the current high-end computing domain regarding energy consumption, reliability, etc.
