SC19 Birds of a Feather: TOP500 Supercomputers

Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions provide a dynamic, noncommercial venue for conference attendees to openly discuss current topics of interest to our HPC community – from programming models to big data to accelerators to education. BoF sessions connect you with other attendees with similar interests.

"TOP500 Supercomputers"
Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Session Leader:
Erich Strohmeier, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Additional Sessions Leaders:
Jack Dongarra, University of Tennessee
Horst Simon, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Martin Meuer, ISC Group

Description:
The TOP500 list of supercomputers serves as a “Who’s Who” in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC). It started as a list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world and has evolved to a major source of information about trends in HPC. The 54th TOP500 list will be published in November 2019 just in time for SC19.

This BoF presents detailed analyses of the TOP500 and discusses the changes in the HPC marketplace during the past years. The BoF is meant as an open forum for discussion and feedback between the TOP500 authors and the user community.
