Title: Towards High-Productivity Environments for Development of
Scalable Scientific Software
Abstract: The phenomenal power of massively parallel supercomputers
can facilitate significant advances in many areas of science and
engineering. However, the effort required to develop high-performance
applications using currently available parallel programming models is
extremely high, and is often a limiting factor in the rate of
scientific process. As supercomputers get more powerful, they are
becoming even more complex to program for effective utilization of
their potential performance. There is therefore considerable interest
in developing high-level frameworks that ease the burden of
development of high-performance scientific software. This talk will
discuss some of the approaches being pursued towards this goal, the
challenges, and potential future directions.
Short Bio: P. (Saday) Sadayappan is a Professor of Computer Science
and Engineering at the Ohio State University. His research centers
around programming models, compilers and runtime systems for parallel
computing, with special emphasis on high-performance scientific
computing.
