Abstract / Description of output

The European HPC infrastructure is composed of a wide range of architectures. In this paper, we discuss the usage of the DEISA Benchmark Suite, a selection of widely used HPC applications in a range of scientific areas, to un- derstand and quantify the relationship between a system’s theoretical peak performance and its actual performance for the applications in the Benchmark Suite. The results show that for some applications relative performance can vary greatly between systems, underlining the fact that maintain- ing diversity in the HPC infrastructure in the future will be beneficial to scientific progress in Europe.
