Benchmarking of high performance computing clusters with heterogeneous CPU/GPU architecture

The most modern supercomputers are clusters of computing nodes with a heterogeneous architecture; in such a node we can see both classical CPUs and specialized computing coprocessors (GPU-or MIC-based). Modern benchmark tests are oriented either for CPU or for specific coprocessor calculations - but not in a whole thing. This article is dedicated to describe an approach to build a unified performance test for a heterogeneous HPC cluster with CPU/GPU computing nodes.
