A considerable amount of research and engineering went into designing proxy applications, which represent common high-performance computing workloads, to co-design and evaluate the current generation of supercomputers, e.g., RIKEN's Supercomputer Fugaku, ANL's Aurora, or ORNL's Frontier. This process was necessary to standardize the procurement while avoiding duplicated effort at each HPC center to develop their own benchmarks. Unfortunately, proxy applications force HPC centers and providers (vendors) into a an undesirable state of rigidity, in contrast to the fast-moving trends of current technology and future heterogeneity. To accommodate an extremely-heterogeneous future, we have to reconsider how to co-design supercomputers during the next decade, and avoid repeating the past mistakes. This position paper outlines the current state-of-the-art in system co-design, challenges encountered over the past years, and a proposed plan to move forward.
