Collaborative Research: CAS-AES: An Integrated Framework for Compile-time/run-time Support for Multi-scale Applications on High-end Systems

该项目的目标是开发新的编译/运行时技术，以实现高效的局部性增强的并行执行程序，这些程序可以方便地用高级编程模型表示。该项目将开发性能模型驱动的方法，以高效执行具有多级并行性的复杂应用程序，并为开发核外应用程序提供便利的抽象，并将调查若干科学领域的应用程序，重点是在以全球共享的数据观点实现高性能方面的要求和挑战。此外，该项目还将开发编译/运行时技术，以支持在非数组数据结构上操作的全局共享视图并行程序的有效执行。本项目将开发的工具和技术将针对科学计算的各个领域中已证明的需求。这项工作产生的软件产品将免费提供给他人使用和扩展。

The goal in this project is the development of new compile/runtime techniques that can enable efficient locality enhanced parallel execution of programs that are conveniently expressed in a high-level programming model. The project will develop performance-model driven approaches to efficient execution of complex applications with multi-level parallelism, with convenient abstractions for developing out-of-core applications, and will investigate applications in a number of scientific domains, focusing on requirements for and challenges in realizing high performance with a global shared view of data. In addition the project will develop compile/runtime techniques to support efficient execution of global-shared-view parallel programs that operate on non-array data structures. The tools and technologies to be developed in this project will target demonstrated needs in various areas of scientific computing. The software products arising from this work will be made freely available for use and extension by others.
