[IO-500] System descriptions for IO500 submissions

Dear all, thanks again for all those that have submitted already to the IO500. An important piece of the submission is to provide information about the system where the test is run. There has happened a considerable amount of work to improve the database behind it, a process that is not yet completed. However, the system description is completed, such that one can add detailed information about nodes, devices of the supercomputer and data center. We will then link back from the IO-500 results to the test description. Have a look for example at DKRZ's page: https://www.vi4io.org/hpsl/2017/deu/dkrz/start I want to encourage people to update or submit new information to that list when they submit to IO500. The entry page is here: https://www.vi4io.org/hpsl/start If you have any questions, how to perform these changes send them to me or the list. Editing is very easy with the UI provided one clicks on the red button. If you send me the site information for the submissions, I can create stubs.
