Advanced Software Technology for an Exascale Point Design Study

美国国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构将要求进一步了解亿级计算系统的概念、方法和手段，然后才能制定未来的使能技术、体系结构和方法计划。NSF支持一个有针对性的两年调查计划，即Exascale点设计研究，以充分深入和详细地了解可能的使能技术、实现体系结构和操作系统软件，以及编程接口和方法之间的相互关系。UD团队与路易斯安那州立大学、南加州大学、UIUC和桑迪亚国家实验室(由美国能源部赞助)合作，设计了一种Exascale编译技术和策略，源于NSF、DOE和DARPA赞助下进行的先前研究，反映了Exaflops规模的硬件和软件所设想的一些最著名的原则和实践。这项协作研究将与我们的合作伙伴合作进行，这些合作伙伴将对架构(LSU)、应用程序驱动程序和编程模型(UIUC)、使能技术和硬件系统设计(USC)以及系统集成和部署(SNL)做出贡献。该小组计划提供一份其评价和分析的最终报告。

The NSF and other Federal agencies will require further understanding of concepts, methods, and means for Exascale computing systems before formulation of future programs in enabling technologies, architectures, and methodologies. NSF supports a targeted two-year program of investigation, The Exascale Point-design Study, to provide sufficient depth and detail of understanding of the interrelationships among possible enabling technologies, implementation architectures and operating system software, and programming interfaces and methodologies.Working in consultation with LSU, USC, UIUC, and Sandia National Laboratory (under DOE sponsorship), UD team devises an Exascale compilation technology and strategy derived from prior research conducted under NSF, DOE, and DARPA sponsorship, reflecting some of the best-known principles and practices envisioned for hardware and software at the Exaflops scale. This collaborative research will be performed in collaboration with our partners who will contribute architecture (LSU), application drivers and programming models (UIUC), enabling technology and hardware system design (USC), and systems integration and deployment (SNL). The team plans to provide a final report of its evaluations and analysis.
