And why should your algorithm be the benchmark for supercomputer performance, rather than something that is at least somewhat related [1] to the workloads those machines run?

[1] We can of course argue endlessly that HPL is no longer a very representative benchmark for supercomputer workloads, but I digress.

My initial argument since the beginning of this thread, is that it's the most powerful computer not the fastest, as it will not be, for the case for some single threaded task. Not really sure what is so controversial about it...:-)

Nobody but you is confused about this.

It's not confusion, is about clarifying that "fast" is contextual...
