UKRI Living Benchmarks

We are developing open source benchmarks and building skills to support the procurement of future supercomputers

About

UKRI Living Benchmarks is creating and curating open-source benchmarks that support the procurement and performance assessment of high-performance computing systems. The suite of benchmarks can be drawn from for systems across all performance tiers. Living Benchmarks is also building community skills and capabilities that support benchmarking.

The project is supported by the UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure Programme under grant APP46895.

Living

We create, curate and actively maintain a suite of benchmarks, and are building skills in the community for defining and developing benchmarks.

Community

Benchmarks are developed in collaboration between domain experts and research software engineers, and are drawn from across research and innovation fields. Benchmarks can he suggested here.

Open source

All benchmark codes are open source and available under an Open Source Initiative approved license.
