  • Abstract
    The problems of misleading performance reporting and the evident lack of careful refereeing in the supercomputing field are discussed in detail. Included are some examples that have appeared in recently published scientific papers. Some guidelines for reporting performance are presented, the adoption of which would raise the level of professionalism and reduce the level of confusion in the field of supercomputing
