HPCG - June 2024

The TOP500 list has incorporated the High-Performance Conjugate Gradient (HPCG) benchmark results, which provide an alternative metric for assessing supercomputer performance. This score is meant to complement the HPL measurement to give a fuller understanding of the machine.

Supercomputer Fugaku is the leader on the HPCG benchmark with an impressive score of 16 HPCG-PFlop/s.

Frontier came in second with a score of 14.1 HPCG-PFlop/s.

Aurora came in third with a score of 5.6 HPCG-PFlop/s. However, it is important to note that Aurora only used about 40% of its nodes for the HPCG run. The Aurora team plans to get a full system run for the next TOP500 list.

Rmax and Rpeak values are in PFlop/s. For more details about other fields, check the TOP500 description.

Rpeak values are calculated using the advertised clock rate of the CPU. For the efficiency of the systems you should take into account the Turbo CPU clock rate where it applies.
