Podcast: Radio Free HPC on the Exascalar Benchmark

By Rich Brueckner | Published September 25, 2012

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team discusses the Exascalar measure/benchmark and what it’s telling us. Exascalar combines Top500 and Green500 data in order to see if the industry is on track to hit the goal of an exascale system that consumes less than 20MW of juice by 2020. Like usual, the conversation takes some interesting turns into how to measure performance, power consumption, and efficiency. For some reason, laptops got added into the mix too.
