Last week, contributing editor Mark Anderson asked me to comment on the imminent release of the 2013 Graph500 Benchmark. The Graph500 is a rating of supercomputer systems that perform graph search workloads that happen in our lives every day—from academic and scientific research challenges such as genome mapping to commercial graph problems being addressed by companies such as Facebook, Amazon, and Netflix. As chair of the Graph500 executive committee, I am always happy to bring more awareness to the existence of these complex data problems and how memory is playing a key role in the solution. Watch for the release of the Graph500 at this year’s International Supercomputing Conference.
