| This message is being sent on behalf of Horst Simon, NERSC Director, and
the DOE Office of Advanced Scientific Computing which funds NERSC:
The DOE Office of Advanced Scientific Computing has asked us (the
Applications Performance Matrix team) to work with users to assemble
information about the performance of their codes on high performance
computers. We have established a website that aggregates this
information and provides tools to help classify and visualize the data.
The site is located at
http://www.appsmatrix.info/
DOE believes that the aggregated data and the analysis tools provided at
this site will become increasingly useful to the technical community as
the datasets included in the matrix increase in size and diversity. We
are writing to you as a major user of DOE facilities and on behalf of
ASCR to ask your assistance in providing information about one or more
of your codes for the Applications Performance Matrix (APM). Information
can only be submitted using an online form found at
http://www.appsmatrix.info/matrix/matrix_submit/
In addition please note that
1. You are asked to submit full runs of your scientific and
engineering codes on real machines (i.e., please do not submit
projected or expected results).
2. A reference is required. Please provide either a citation to
a paper available in the open literature or to an electronic
version of a preprint or technical report.
3. If you introduce a scientific metric (e.g., computed years per
day of computation in climate), briefly and clearly explain
its meaning.
4. A scientific point of contact must be provided. If you have
questions about the process or about how to submit data
please contact Ron Winther at winther@krellinst.org
Finally, any comments or suggestions that you have on the site, how well
it functions and how it can be improved, are welcome.
Thank you for your help
The Matrix Team
