Programming Models for Parallel Architectures and Requirements for Pre-Exascale
SESSION: Programming Models for Parallel Architectures and Requirements for Pre-Exascale
EVENT TYPE: Panels
EVENT TAG(S): Performance, HPC Futures and Exascale, Hardware and Architecture, Software for HPC

ROOM:16AB
ABSTRACT:
Relying on domain scientists to provide programmer intervention to develop applications to emerging exascale platforms is a real challenge. A scientist prefers to express mathematics of the science, not describe the parallelism of the implementing algorithms. Do we expect too much of the scientist to code for high parallel performance given the immense capabilities of the platform. This ignores that the scientist may have a mandate to code for a new architecture, and yet preserve portability in their code. This panel will bring together user experience, programming model, architecture experts to discuss the pressing needs in finding the path forward to port scientific codes to such a platform. We hope to discuss the evolving programming stack, application-level requirements, and address the hierarchical nature of large systems in terms of different cores, memory levels, power consumption and the pragmatic advances of near term technology.
