Blue Waters [4] is a petascale-level supercomputer whose mission is to greatly accelerate insight to the most challenging computational and data analysis problems. We performed a detailed workload analysis of Blue Waters [8] using Open XDMoD [10]. The analysis used approximately 35,000 node hours to process the roughly 95 TB of input data from over 4.5M jobs that ran on Blue Waters during the period that was studied (April 1, 2013 - September 30, 2016).
