Benchmarking the Three Ps: Performance, Portability, and Productivity

Empowering Interdisciplinary Collaboration through Reproducible Benchmarking Minisymposium at PASC

Our high-performance applications must be written to embrace the full ecosystem of supercomputer design. They need to take advantage of the hierarchy of concurrency on offer, and utilise the whole processor. And writing these applications must be productive because HPC software outlives any one system. Our applications need to address the “Three Ps” and be Performance Portable and Productive. Benchmarking for the Three Ps presents an acute challenge due to the complexities of rigorously and reproducibly testing such a large space. In this talk I will share a perspective on benchmarking for Performance, Portability, and Productivity, and share some of the tools and methodologies we are developing to make this easier for the future.
