ABSTRACT
The value of a High Performance Computing (HPC) system to a user includes
many factors, such as: execution time on a particular problem, software
development time, and both direct and indirect costs. The Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) High Productivity Computing Systems
(HPCS) is focused on providing a new generation of economically viable
high productivity computing systems for the national security and industrial
user community in the 2007-2010 timeframe. The goal is to provide systems
that double in productivity (or value) every 18 months. This program
has initiated a fundamental reassessment of how we define and measure
performance, programmability, portability, robustness and ultimately
productivity in the HPC domain. This talk will describe the HPCS efforts
to develop a productivity assessment framework, characterize HPC user
workflows, and define the scope of the target applications.
