Exascale Computing – What are the Goals and the Baseline?

66

In this video from the 4th Annual MVAPICH User Group, Thomas Schulthess from CSCS presents: Exascale Computing – What are the Goals and the Baseline?

“Implementation of exascale computing will be different in that application performance is supposed to play a central role in determining the system performance, rather than just considering floating point performance of the high-performance Linpack benchmark. This immediately raises the question as to what the yardstick will be, by which we measure progress towards exascale computing.
