Abstract: The authors present their thoughts on alternative performance measures that can be used to rank supercomputers. Using the computer system solutions developed by Maxeler Technologies, they suggest the use of performance metric that analyzes performance per watt, cubic foot, or monetary unit in addition to FLOPS (floating-point operations per second).
