alt Hacker NewsI worked on the MTA architectures for years among several other HPC systems but I don’t remember this particular benchmark. I suspect it was replaced by the Graph500 benchmark. Graph500 measures something similar and was introduced only a few years after GUPS.
The HPCS benchmarks predated Graph500. They were talked about at SC for a few years in the early 2000s but mostly faded into the background. It’s hard to dig up the numbers for the MTA on RandomAccess, but the Eldorado paper from ‘05 by Feo and friends (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1062261.1062268) mentions it and you can see the MTA beating the other popular architectures of the time in one of the tables.
