Current software development practices and tools are inadequate for the computing power that is now becoming available. Applications that will run on today?s and tomorrow?s most powerful supercomputers will help improve our world in a variety of fields, including the study of severe storms, epidemic disease, earthquakes, and new product development. These applications must fully exploit hundreds of thousands of compute cores, hundreds of terabytes of memory, and tens of thousands of disk drives. In the future, such systems may well combine many different types of specialized computing elements. The workshop on ?Software Development Environment for Science & Engineering Applications? will focus on the tools and practices needed to develop software for these incredibly complex supercomputers. It will also consider an integrated software development environment for science and engineering applications. Such an environment would allow researchers to build, edit, fix, and improve the performance of their software using more straightforward and graphically based tools than exist today.The workshop on ?Software Development Environment for Science & Engineering Applications will focus on the set of software tools (editors, compilers, debuggers, optimization tools, etc.) needed to develop applications for petascale and beyond computers. It will also cover the numerical and communications libraries, programming languages, and software engineering practices needed by the scientists and engineers. The workshop will consider the feasibility of developing an integrated software development environment for science and engineering applications, similar in concept to the IDEs used in the commercial world. The workshop will help establish requirements for maximizing developer productivity. It will also address issues of application portability and maintenance in light of emerging architectural trends in high-performance computing.

当前的软件开发实践和工具对于现在已可用的计算能力不足。今天和明天最强大的超级计算机的应用将有助于改善各种领域的世界，包括研究严重风暴，流行病，地震和新产品开发。这些应用必须充分利用数十万个计算核心，数十种记忆和成千上万的磁盘驱动器。将来，这样的系统很可能结合了许多不同类型的专业计算元素。科学与工程应用程序软件开发环境的研讨会？将专注于为这些令人难以置信的复杂超级计算机开发软件所需的工具和实践。它还将考虑用于科学和工程应用的集成软件开发环境。这样的环境将使研究人员能够使用比今天存在的更直接和图形的工具来构建，编辑，修复和改善其软件的性能。有关科学和工程应用程序软件开发环境的研讨会将集中在一组软件工具（编辑，编译器，调试器，优化工具等）上，需要开发Petascale和Beyond Computers的应用程序。它还将涵盖科学家和工程师所需的数值和通信库，编程语言和软件工程实践。研讨会将考虑为科学和工程应用开发集成的软件开发环境的可行性，科学和工程应用与商业世界中使用的IDE相似。研讨会将有助于确定最大化开发人员生产率的要求。鉴于高性能计算中新兴的建筑趋势，它还将解决应用程序可移植性和维护问题。
