Description
In preparation for the procurement of their next generation of supercomputers, DiRAC have developed a suite of benchmarks based on the software in use on their current systems. Working with vendors, this will allow us to characterise the performance of key particle physics and astrophysics algorithms on newly available hardware. This talk will provide an overview of the design and development process and highlight some of the code optimisations we were able to achieve on behalf of researchers.
