Abstract:
The 2009 HPC Challenge Awards is a competition with awards in two classes: Class 1 and 2. Class 1: Best Performance awards best run submitted to the HPC Challenge website. Since there are multiple tests, the term "best" is subjective. It has been decided by the committee that winners in four categories will be announced: HPL, Global-RandomAccess, EP-STREAM-Triad per system, and Global-FFT. Class 2: Most Elegant awards implementation of three or more of the HPC Challenge benchmarks with special emphasis being placed on: HPL, Global-RandomAccess, STREAM-Triad and Global-FFT. This award would be weighted 50% on performance and 50% on code elegance/clarity/size. Competition in Class 1 offers a rich view of contemporary supercomputers as they compete for supremacy not just in one category but in four. Class 2, on the other hand, offers a glimpse into high end programming technologies and the effectiveness of their implementation.
