Title: The High Performance Conjugate Gradients (HPCG) Benchmark Abstract: The High Performance Conjugate Gradients (HPCG) Benchmark is a new community metric for ranking high performance computing systems. The first list of results was released at ISC'14, including optimized results for systems built upon Fujitsu, Intel, Nvidia technologies. Presently the list contains more than 100 entries, including the majority of the top 50 platforms, and HPCG has been accepted into the TOP500 ranking system. In this presentation we discuss the design of HPCG, opportunities for optimizing its performance, show the most recent results, and discuss possible future efforts.
