[FLASH-USERS] Request for reference on performance and scalability

[Carlo Graziani]

There's

@inproceedings{cordery2013analysis,
    title={Analysis of Cray XC30 performance using Trinity-NERSC-8 
benchmarks and comparison with Cray XE6 and IBM BG/Q},
    author={Cordery, Matthew J and Austin, Brian and Wassermann, HJ and 
Daley, Christopher S and Wright, Nicholas J and Hammond, Simon D and 
Doerfler, Douglas},
    booktitle={International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking 
and Simulation of High Performance Computer Systems},
    pages={52--72},
    year={2013},
    organization={Springer}
}

which is BiBTeX for 
https://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~sdh/pmbs13papers/pmbs0900.pdf.

There's also the following very detailed presentation on getting Flash 
ready for IBM BG/Q from 2013:
