The final benchmark is released at the end of this period. During the stabilization we encourage the community to test the proper execution of the benchmark and provide us with feedback. We will apply bug fixes to the code base and expect that results obtained will be valid as full submission. We also continue with another list for the Student Cluster Competition, |

+ | Also new this year is that we have partnered with Anthony Kougkas’ team at Illinois Institute of Technology to evaluate the submission metadata describing the storage system on which the test was run to improve the quality and usefulness of the data IO500 collects. You may be contacted by one of his students to clarify one or more of the metadata items from your submission(s). We would appreciate, but do not require, your cooperation to help improve the submission metadata quality. Results from their work will be fed back to improve our submission process for future lists. | ||

+ | Following the success of the Top500 in collecting and analyzing historical trends in supercomputer technology and evolution, the IO500 was created in 2017, published its first list at SC17, and has grown continuously since then. The need for such an initiative has long been known within High-Performance Computing; however, defining appropriate benchmarks had long been challenging. Despite this challenge, the community, after long and spirited discussion, finally reached consensus on a suite of benchmarks and a metric for resolving the scores into a single ranking. | ||
