Title: Pragmatically Programming on the Portable Path to Productive Peta-scale (and beyond)

Speaker: Richard F. Barrett, Interview Candidate, Senior Research Scientist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Location: CSRI Building, Room 90 (Sandia NM)

Brief Abstract: We will examine the means by which some scientific application codes have grown from mega- to giga- to tera- and now to the peta-scale. With the push beginning toward exa-scale, we are preparing for distinctly different programming and runtime requirements, requiring increased concurrency and granularity, both through a reorganization of our codes and reconfiguration our algorithms.
