The Dell HPC Performance Calculator allows you to enter a few data points of an HPC system (real or projected) to calculate the Theoretical Performance, Estimated Performance (based on system efficiency), and in case you’re curious, estimate Top500 ranking. The Performance Calculator can be a useful tool in the planning phase of a new system, or provide additional insight into system efficiency and performance rankings.
The HPC Performance Calculator focuses on only one component of a HPC system, Compute. Dell recommends this be used as a tool to aid in the sizing of a system, taking into account other critical HPC system components such as Storage, Interconnect, System Management, and most importantly your application(s). For more information, Dell has created a blog resource on these topics at http://www.HPCatDell.com.
