论文摘要
大量的研究和工程都用于设计代表常见的高性能计算工作负载的代理应用程序，以共同设计和评估当前的超级计算机，例如Riken的Super Computer Fugaku Fugaku，Anl's Aurora或Ornl的边界。对于避免在每个HPC中心进行重复的努力以开发自己的基准测试的同时，必须进行此过程。不幸的是，与当前技术和未来异质性的快速发展趋势相比，代理应用程序将HPC中心和提供商（供应商）（供应商）置于不良状态。为了适应一个极为异质的未来，我们必须重新考虑如何在未来十年中共同设计超级计算机，并避免重复过去的错误。该立场论文概述了系统共同设计中当前最新的，在过去几年中遇到的挑战以及拟议的前进计划。
A considerable amount of research and engineering went into designing proxy applications, which represent common high-performance computing workloads, to co-design and evaluate the current generation of supercomputers, e.g., RIKEN's Supercomputer Fugaku, ANL's Aurora, or ORNL's Frontier. This process was necessary to standardize the procurement while avoiding duplicated effort at each HPC center to develop their own benchmarks. Unfortunately, proxy applications force HPC centers and providers (vendors) into a an undesirable state of rigidity, in contrast to the fast-moving trends of current technology and future heterogeneity. To accommodate an extremely-heterogeneous future, we have to reconsider how to co-design supercomputers during the next decade, and avoid repeating the past mistakes. This position paper outlines the current state-of-the-art in system co-design, challenges encountered over the past years, and a proposed plan to move forward.
