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.
