SUMMARY:Application Performance in the Frontera Acceptance Process
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nApplication Performance in the Frontera Acceptance
  Process\n\nEvans\n\nIn 2017 the NSF called for proposals for a High Perfo
 rmance Computing System that would replace its largest system at the time,
  Blue Waters, located at the National Center for Supercomputing Applicatio
 ns. The solicitation required proposals to include a performance analysis 
 of eleven designated scientific application benchmarks, chosen to be repre
 sentative of the workload the proposed system was to support. The performa
 nce analysis was expected to project time-to-solution improvements for eac
 h benchmark on the proposed system over Blue Waters. The projected perform
 ance improvements were then required to be used as a metric for system acc
 eptance. In this paper, we present a candid accounting of the development 
 of the application acceptance criteria used in the Texas Advanced Computin
 g Center's proposal to this solicitation. We also describe the acceptance 
 testing process on the resulting Frontera system and compare its scientifi
 c workload capacity to Blue Waters.\n\nRegistration Category: Workshop Reg
