+
+The [repository i](https://develop.openfoam.com/committees/hpc)s intended to be a shared repository with relevant data sets and information created in order to:
+
+- Provide user guides and initial scripts to set up and run different data sets on different HPC architectures
+- Provide the community with a homogeneous term of reference to compare different hardware architectures, software environments, configurations, etc.
+- Define a common set of metrics/KPI (Key Performance Indicators) to measure performances
+
+Insert a table with a description of test cases??

+## 3-D Lid Driven cavity flow
+
+**Why cavity?**
+
+Key reasons for using the lid-driven cavity (referred to as "cavity" in the following) as a (micro)-benchmark are:
+
+* The test case chosen is the 3-D version of the [Lid-driven cavity flow tutorial](https://www.openfoam.com/documentation/tutorial-guide/tutorialse2.php).
+* The cavity is one of the most basic and popular cases in OpenFOAM and for the validation in CFD codes
+* This test case has simple geometry and boundary conditions, involving transient, isothermal, incompressible laminar flow in a three-dimensional box domain. The _icoFoam_ solver is used in such test-case.
+* It is intended to stress test the linear algebra solver, most of the time being spent in the pressure equation.
+* Results for scaling are available at the white paper \[[1](https://develop.openfoam.com/committees/hpc/-/wikis/home#references)\].
+
+The following [page](https://develop.openfoam.com/committees/hpc/-/wikis/3-D-Lid-Driven-cavity-flow) describes:
+
+1. The 3-D version of the Lid-driven cavity benchmark
+2. The modified the micro-benchmark version, credits to @Serge.
+
+## HPC motorbike
+
+**HPC modification of motorbike tutorial**
+
+* The test case has been developed from the well known motorbike tutorial
+* Mesh generated from blockMesh is 3 times finer, along each axis, with respect to the tutorial one
+* The snappyHexMeshDict hasn’t been touched
+* The base mesh (size S) is about 8.6 \* 10^6 cells (the tutorial one is 3.2 \* 10^5)
+* Sizes: XL (34 M), M (17.2 M), S (8.6 M) # of cells
+
