Workshop: ESPM2 2022: Seventh International Workshop on Extreme Scale Programming Models and Middleware
Authors: Tim Mattson (Intel Corporation)
Abstract: Parallel programming for extreme scale computing is hard. Couple that with heterogeneous processors across the system and it becomes even harder. Add to the mix that modern programmers are not being trained to understand how algorithms map onto the features of hardware, and it becomes harder still. Throw in that software outlives hardware so a single codebase must work across a wide range of different systems, and we arrive at programming challenges at an extreme scale. In this talk we will propose pragmatic solutions to these challenges; solutions that will support high programmer productivity to generate codebases that are performant and portable.
