*Result*: HPL-MxP benchmark: Mixed-precision algorithms, iterative refinement, and scalable data generation.
*Further Information*
*We present a mixed-precision benchmark called HPL-MxP that uses both a lower-precision LU factorization with a non-stationary iterative refinement based on GMRES. We evaluate the numerical stability of one of the methods of generating the input matrix in a scalable fashion and show how the diagonal scaling affects the solution quality in terms of the backward-error. Some of the performance results at large scale supercomputing installations produced Exascale-level compute throughput numbers thus proving the viability of the proposed benchmark for evaluating such machines. We also present the potential of the benchmark to continue increasing its use with proliferation of hardware accelerators for AI workloads whose reliable evaluation continues to pose a particular challenge for the users.
