In the universe of numeric computation, one way to predict the future is to draw lines based on the past. Though not always perfect, predicting how fast a supercomputer will run the HPC benchmark in the future is often about extending lines. These lines reflect computational efficiencies and bottlenecks that ultimately shape the near-term exceptions for the future. The same is true for many other applications—benchmark the code, draw lines, and set reasonable expectations.
