About CSG
Mission
Since the dawn of computing, the world has tracked system performance. Yet, computer system performance data is still primarily siloed by benchmark, system, or system component. The Mission of the Computer Systems Genome Project (CSGenome) is to conduct the first scientific effort to catalog the lineage of computer system performance over time to enable knowledge discovery and further understanding of the impact of computing innovations on transformative technologies, the knowledge-based economy, and societal change.
The CSGenome Project is led by Professors Kirk W. Cameron (PI), Godmar Back (co-PI and Technical Advisor), and Margaret Ellis (co-PI and Team Leader) and an extremely talented and highly diverse group of more than a dozen Virginia Tech undergraduate and graduate students.
Data Sources
The data used to create the lineage is drawn from a number of sources, including:
-
The biyearly Top500 list released by Top500.org
-
The Stanford CPU DB
