Unclassified benchmarking - Benchmarks measure the performance of HPC hardware (such as CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, memory modules, interconnects, etc.) and provide valuable information to application developers and other stakeholders. Such developers and stakeholders use this information to make all manner of decisions that will determine the success or failure of their applications and also to monitor the health of the HPC over time. Furthermore, because each new generation of HPC hardware includes new capabilities (e.g. increased SIMD widths, new instructions, novel memory configurations, etc.) it is imperative that benchmarks are updated regularly and test all capabilities of the hardware. Consequently, for this task, you will work with and develop deep expertise with the latest hardware. In addition, you will update and utilize numerous benchmarks to characterize the performance of that hardware.
