Chapter 13 HPC Programming Framework

13.2 Research Activities We develop high performance, highly productive software stacks that aim to simplify development of highly optimized, fault-tolerant computational science applications on current and future supercomputers, notably the K computer. Our current focus of work includes large-scale data processing, heterogeneous computing, and fault tolerance. A major ongoing project in our gr...

Java: the next Language for Hpc?

The next big advance in the area of high performance computing (HPC) will involve connecting together of compute resources, data resources, experimental instruments and post-processing visualisation equipment into so-called computational grids. It is widely accepted that Java will be a useful technology for developing middleware technology to support grid computing. However, the use of Java as ...

Interfacing Chapel with traditional HPC programming languages

Chapel is a high-level parallel programming language that implements a partitioned global address space model (PGAS). Programs written in this programming model have traditionally been selfcontained entities written entirely in one language. While this approach enables the compiler to produce better performing code by doing whole program optimization, it also carries a risk of positioning PGAS ...

HPC-ready Language Analysis for Human Beings

This demonstration presents a first operable pilot of the Language Analysis Portal (LAP), an ongoing project within the Norwegian CLARINO initiative that aims at providing easy access to Language Technology (LT) tools running on a powerful High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster. The system is built on top of the Galaxy framework, giving users an on-line platform where they can design experime...
