SHF: MEDIUM: Collaborative Research: Architecture, Programmability and Performance of Large Scale Parallel Systems

新的微处理器芯片架构的出现（例如， GPU、多核/众核芯片架构）、下一代大规模集成问题（如数据中心应用程序）表明需要全面重新思考架构设计、编程和软件设计的方法。 本文档中提出的研究将关注未来应用程序的特征行为，突出表现为性能，可扩展性，以及计算机系统（执行和架构模型，编译器/运行时软件技术）如何能够适当地针对性。 这项工作的结果将是确定这些应用程序的特点和要求，开发符合其需要的适当执行和结构模型，并开发一种编译技术及其相关工具，以便与目标应用程序领域的拟议结构模型协调工作。 拟议的研究的结果将是对未来应用程序的需求的深入了解，新的架构思想的演示，以及编译方法和工具的设计。

The advent of new microprocessor chip architectures (e.g., GPUs, multi-core/many-core chips architectures), next generation large scale integrated problems such as datacenter applications points to the need for a comprehensive rethinking of the approach to architecture design, programming, and software design. The research proposed in this document will be concerned with the characteristic behavior of future applications, highlighted by the performance, scalability, and how computer systems (execution and architecture models, and compilers/runtime software technologies) can be appropriately targeted. This work will result in the characterization of the features and requirements of such applications, in the development of suitable execution and architecture models that match their needs, and in the development of a compilation technology and its associated tools that will work in coordination with the proposed architecture models for the targeted application domains. The outcome of the proposed research will be an in-depth understanding of the needs of future applications, the demonstration of new architecture ideas, as well as the design of compilation methods and tools.
