This report completes the AD-CD-PA-1040 Milestone: We will develop a quantitative methodology to compare the fidelity of the ECP proxy applications with respect to the parent ECP application they represent. Fidelity includes comparison of appropriate dynamic execution characteristics (e.g., memory characteristics for a memory-matching proxy), computational requirements, and hardware bottlenecks. This methodology will include metrics and platform specifications (e.g., tools, specific systems), and will be applied to evaluate 4 ECP proxy applications.
