U.S.-France (INRIA) Cooperative Research: Tools for Port- able and Efficient Parallel Scientific Software

这一为期三年的奖项将支持田纳西大学和INRIA罗纳/阿尔卑斯山校区(法国国家计算机科学和应用数学研究所)研究团队在并行计算方面的美法合作研究。这些球队包括美国队的杰克·东加拉和法国的让-皮埃尔·韦尔朱、伊夫·罗伯特和伯纳德·图兰乔。他们的研究目标是为在多台计算机和异类网络上开发可移植的并行程序提供一个软件环境。他们建议为分布式内存多计算机上的库例程开发有效的算法。这项工作将涉及代码和工具的实现和实验，以及复杂性分析。该项目利用了美国和法国的互补专业知识，并将受益于法国在并行处理软件方面的进步。该项目可能会产生一套用于开发可移植数据并行程序的工具。

This three-year award will support U.S.-France cooperative research in parallel computing between research teams at the University of Tennessee and at INRIA's Rhone/Alps campus (French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics). The teams include Jack Dongarra on the U.S. side and Jean-Pierre Verjus, Yves Robert and Bernard Tourancheau in France. The objective of their research is to provide a software environment for the development of portable parallel programs on multicomputers and heterogeneous networks. They propose to develop efficient algorithms for library routines on distributed-memory multicomputers. This effort will involve implementation and experiment of codes and tools, and complexity analysis. The project takes advantage of U.S. and French complementary expertise and will benefit from French advances in software for parallel processing. The project may result in a set of tools for the development of portable data parallel programs.
