ParMA BoF at ISC'08 on Wed, June 18th 2008
Jean-Marc Morel , Bull SAS, France
Denis Barthou , Université de Versailles Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France
The goal of this session is to present early results of the ITEA2 ParMA project (Parallel Programming for Multi-core Architectures) which has been launched by leading European HPC players from France, Germany, Spain, and UK to help the HPC community to take full advantage of the power of multi-core architectures. These 17 partners leverage their professional / scientific competence to: - Evolve design and programming models to help develop and restructure parallel applications - Extend and integrate tools for performance analysis and debugging of parallel applications - Develop, restructure, and optimize parallel applications from diverse domains (simulation, automotive, avionics, etc.) for multi-core architectures - Explore parallelization strategies to optimize the performance of the generated code, a technique we will specially focus on in the second part of this session to show how well some code patterns can be improved. |
