Abstract :
This paper presents a brief description of the sustained system performance (SSP) test, which is designed to quantitatively track the performance of Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) high performance computing (HPC) systems throughout their life cycles. The effects of incremental changes in system software, workarounds for hardware problems, and changes to scheduler operations on system performance can all be quantitatively evaluated. Data from runs of the SSP test conducted on selected HPC systems in the HPCMP will be used to demonstrate the benchmark.
