Benchmarking of real-time high-performance computing systems

The real-time high performance computing community needs to establish an industry-supported benchmarking effort. This effort should specify two sets of benchmarks: one at an application level and one at a functional level, or so-called "compact" applications. A common set of performance metrics incorporating the embedded physical attributes of systems must be defined. Both system vendors and users must participate in the definition of a standard benchmarking approach and suite for real-time high performance computing.
