HPCG Benchmark offers a alternative way to rank Top Computers

"The LINPACK program used to represent a broad spectrum of the core computations that needed to be performed, but things have changed," said Sandia researcher Mike Heroux, who created and developed the HPCG program. "The LINPACK program performs compute-rich algorithms on dense data structures to identify the theoretical maximum speed of a supercomputer. Today's applications often use sparse data structures, and computations are leaner."
