چکیده
Over the last 20 years, the open-source community has provided more and more software on which the world’s highperformance computing systems depend for performance and productivity. The community has invested millions of dollars and years of effort to build key components. However, although the investments in these separate software elements have been tremendously valuable, a great deal of productivity has also been lost because of the lack of planning, coordination, and key integration of technologies necessary to make them work together smoothly and efficiently, both within individual petascale systems and between different systems. It seems clear that this completely uncoordinated development model will not provide the software needed to support the unprecedented parallelism required for peta/ exascale computation on millions of cores, or the flexibility required to exploit new hardware models and features, such as transactional memory, speculative execution, and graphics processing units. This report describes the work of the community to prepare for the challenges of exascale computing, ultimately combing their efforts in a coordinated International Exascale Software Project.

European Exascale Software Initiative: Numerical Libraries, Solvers and Algorithms
Computers with sustained Petascale performance are now available and it is expected that hardware will be developed with a peak capability in the Exascale range by around 2018. However, the complexity, hierarchical nature, and probable heterogeneity of these machines pose great challenges for the development of software to exploit these architectures. This was recognized some years ago by the I...

When processor clock speeds flatlined in 2004, after more than 15 years of exponential increases, the computational science community lost the key to the automatic performance improvements its applications had traditionally enjoyed. Subsequent developments in processor and system design — hundreds of thousands of nodes, millions of cores, reduced bandwidth and memory available to cores, inclusi...
متن کاملInter-Agency Workshop on HPC Resilience at Extreme Scale
The following report summarizes the proceedings of a three-and-a-half day inter-agency workshop focused on the technical challenges of HPC resilience in the 2020 Exascale timeframe. The resilience problem is not specific to any particular program or agency; coordinated resilience solutions will be challenging because of the need for a truly integrated approach. The interagency workshop therefor...
متن کاملA Use Case of Service-based Knowledge Management for Software Development
Large, international cooperative efforts pose high expectations for knowledge management support. In this paper we present a use case of a knowledge management solution in an international research project, which offers several novel features applicable in other cases as well. The primary goals are to make the implicit knowledge explicit, to organize knowledge objects according to multiple crit...
