The ultimate purpose of running simulation tasks on high performance computers is to solve numerical problems. The
performance
of an algorithm, or rather an implementation, is significant in several respects: Either a given problem should be solved in the least possible amount of time or a larger problem should be solved in an “acceptable” time; in both cases, the used resources must be utilized as efficiently as possible so that overall throughput and return on investment are maximized for all users of a system.
