The Graph500 project, which is updated every six months, was first presented in June 2010 at the International Supercomputing Conference . The initiators of this list were made by experts from the user community of national research laboratories headed by the Sandia laboratory. According to the authors , the benchmark represents a new direction of high-performance computing - “solving huge information problems”. This includes the task of processing huge sparse amounts of information represented as a graph or database. These tasks are usually assigned to the Data Intensive class of applications, and the main operation in them is not floating point operations, but data access operations.
