Advanced Software Technology for an Exascale Point Design Study

NSF和其他联邦机构在制定未来的使能技术、体系结构和方法之前，需要进一步理解Exascale计算系统的概念、方法和手段。NSF支持一项为期两年的有针对性的调查计划，即Exascale Point-design Study，以提供对可能的使能技术、实施架构和操作系统软件以及编程接口和方法之间相互关系的足够深入和详细的理解。（在DOE赞助下），UD团队设计了一种Exascale编译技术和策略，该技术和策略来自NSF，DOE和DARPA赞助下进行的先前研究，反映了Exaflops规模下硬件和软件的一些最知名的原则和实践。这项合作研究将与我们的合作伙伴合作进行，他们将提供架构（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）。该小组计划提供一份关于其评价和分析的最后报告。

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.
