Charter:

Establish objectives of future performance metrics and measurement techniques to characterize system value and productivity to users and institutions. Identify strategies for evaluation including benchmarking of existing and proposed systems in support of user applications. Determine parameters for specification of system attributes and properties.

Guidelines and Questions:

• As input to HECRTF charge (2c), provide information about the types of system design specifications needed to effectively meet various application domain requirements.
• Examine current state and value of performance modeling, metrics for HEC and recommend key extensions
• Analyze performance-based procurement specifications for HEC that lead to appropriately balanced systems.
• Recommend initiatives needed to overcome current limitations in this area.
• Example Topics:
  • Metrics, time to solution, measurement and modeling methods, benchmarking, specification parameters, time to solution and relationship to fault-tolerance
