Benchmarking & Workload Characterization
NERSC assess available HPC system solutions using a combination of application benchmarks and microbenchmarks. By understanding the requirements of the NERSC workload we drive changes in computing architecture that will result in better HPC system architectures for scientific computing in future generation machines.
Some of these pages may be incomplete because of the transition to the new NERSC web site in May, 2011.
NERSC-6 Benchmarks
The NERSC-6 application benchmarks were used in the acquisition process that resulted in the NERSC Cray XE6 ("Hopper") system. Read More »
