Workshop Proposal: Software Tools for High-Performace Computing Systems, Chatham, Massachusetts, October 1996

强大、灵活和高效的软件工具的关键重要性早已得到承认，并已成为几次国家会议的主要讨论议题，包括由国际和平研究所组织的会议。这些会议的重点是与构建好的工具相关的困难，以及缺乏用于工具开发和测试的基础设施。这项提议是为了举办一次研讨会，讨论高性能计算系统缺乏这些软件工具的设计和实施解决方案。讨论将主要集中在与这些需求相关的调试、性能测量、分析和演示问题上。通过包括学术研究人员、供应商和政府机构代表，可以提出和探索各种不同的观点、观点和需求，以实现所有群体的共同利益。

The critical importance of robust, flexible, and efficient software tools has long been recognized, and has been a major discussion topic at several national meetings, including those organized by the PI. These meetings focused on the difficulties associated with building good tools, and the lack of infrastructure for tool development and test. This proposal is for a workshop to discuss design and implementation solutions to the lack of these software tools for high performance computing systems. The discussions will focus will focus primarily on issues of debugging, performance measurement, analysis, and presentation as they relate to these needs. By including academic researchers, vendors, and government agency representatives, a wide variety of opinions, viewpoints, and needs can be presented and explored to the mutual benefit of all the groups.
