Title Estimating performance of HPC applications on future architectures Abstract In the design of future computer systems, foreknowledge of the how different architectural variants will perform on desired target workloads can be invaluable in guiding the design. Obtaining this foreknowledge is difficult: designs are fluid and future computers systems are orders of magnitude larger in both thread count and memory size than today's systems. I will present a methodology developed Sun Labs to to estimate the performance of realistic HPC applications when running on such systems.
