Workshop on Extreme-Scale Programming Tools
Date
November 18, 2013
Location
in conjunction with
Supercomputing 2013
Denver, Colorado, USA
As we approach exascale, architectural complexity and severe resource limitations with respect to power, memory and I/O, make tools support in debugging and performance optimization more critical than ever before. However, the challenges mentioned above also apply to the tools development and, in particular, raise importance of topics such as automatic tuning and methodologies for exascale tools-aided application development. This workshop will serve as a forum for application, system, and tool developers to discuss the requirements for future exascale-enabled tools and the roadblocks that need to be addressed on the way. We also highly encourage application developers to share their experiences with using the tools.
The workshop is organized by the Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing in collaboration with the Priority Programme "Software for Exascale Computing" (SPPEXA) of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The event will also focus on the community-building process necessary to create an integrated tools-suite ready for an exascale software stack.
Workshop topics
- Programming Tools, for instance, Performance Analysis and Tuning Tools, Debuggers, IDEs
- Methodologies for Performance Engineering
- Tool Technologies Tackling Extreme-Scale Challenges, such as Scalability, Resilience, etc.
- Tool Infrastructures
- Application Developer Experiences with Programming Tools
Registration
