The increasing complexity causes substantial programming challenges to all application software developers since computing devices ranging from $100M supercomputers to $100 tablets are all equipped with homogeneous or heterogeneous multicore architectures. Applications must be optimized to fully utilize a diverse pool of resources; and they must be programmed under a simple and elegant representation that permits easy code migration on the next generation computers. My research revolves around the central topic of parallel, multicore and heterogeneous computing on state-of-the-art parallel architectures. I believe data locality abstractions and asynchronous execution are among the most promising solutions for alleviating the programming and scalability challenges. While programming abstractions provide performance portability and programmer’s productivity, asynchronous execution facilitates efficient use of available resources. In this talk, I will present software solutions that I and my collaborators are developing to facilitate application development through (1) programming model and programming abstractions with TiDA, (2) runtime system with Perilla, and (3) performance modeling and analysis with ExaSAT. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><i class="">Bio: </i>Didem Unat joined <span class="" style="color: rgb(16, 60, 192);">Koç University </span>in September 2014 as a full time faculty.
