Padmaja Kumar writes “Unfortunately the R&D community is lacking a suite of emerging, highly-scalable workloads in order to guide the quantitative design of our future computing systems. A start: open-source library from Dr. Fedkiw at Stanford (fluid dynamics simulation codes), UPMC (medical image analysis codes), Dr. Patterson at Berkeley (“Seven+ Dwarfs of Parallel Computing”), Intel Corp (body-tracking and real-time ray tracing), Dr. Li and Dr. Singh at Princeton (content-based multimedia search, network traffic processing).”
