Popis: The work produced within this task is an extension of the UEABS (Unified European Applications Benchmark Suite) for accelerators. As a first version of the extension, this document will present a full definition of a suite for accelerators. This will cover each code, presenting the code in itself as well as the test cases defined for the benchmarks and the problems that could occur during the next months. As the UEABS, this suite aims to present results for many scientific fields that can use HPC accelerated resources. Hence, it will help the European scientific communities to make a decision in terms of infrastructures they could buy in a near future. We focus on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and NVidia GPU cards for benchmarking as they are the two most important accelerated resources available at the moment. The following table lists the codes that will be presented in the next sections as well as their implementations available. It should be noted that OpenMP can be used with the Intel Xeon Phi architecture while CUDA is used for NVidia GPU cards. OpenCL is a third alternative that can be used on both architectures. The chosen codes are all part of the UEAS suite excepted PFARM which comes from PRACE-2IP and SHOC which is a synthetic benchmark suite for accelerators.
