Keynote talk at the Second Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack Forum Workshop at the EuroMPI/USA Conference 2020. [ Ссылка ]
Abstract:
Open source, community-developed reusable scientific software represents a large and growing body of capabilities. Linux distributions, vendor software stacks and individual disciplined software product teams provide the scientific computing community with usable holistic software environments containing core open source software components. At the same time, new software capabilities make it into these distributions in a largely ad hoc fashion.
The Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S),first announced in November 2018, along with its community-organized scientific software development kits (SDKs), is a new community effort to create lightweight cross-team coordination of scientific software development, delivery and deployment and a set of support tools and processes targeted at improving scientific software quality via improved practices, policy, testing and coordination.
E4S ([ Ссылка ]), which announced the release of Version 1.0 in November 2019, is an open architecture effort, welcoming teams that are developing technically compatible and high- quality products to participate in the community. E4S and the SDKs are sponsored by the US Department of Energy Exascale Computing Project (ECP), driven by our need to effectively develop, test, deliver and deploy our open source software products on next generation platform to the scientific community.
In this presentation, we introduce E4S, discuss its design and implementation goals and show examples of success and challenges so far. We will also discuss our connection with other key community efforts we rely upon for our success and describe how collaboration around E4S can be realized.
Bio:
Michael Heroux is a Senior Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories, Director of SW Technologies for the US DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) and Scientist in Residence at St. John’s University, MN. His research interests include all aspects of scalable scientific and engineering software for new and emerging parallel computing architectures.
He leads several projects in this field: ECP SW Technologies is an integrated effort to provide the software stack for ECP. The Trilinos Project (2004 R&D 100 winner) is an effort to provide reusable, scalable scientific software components. The Mantevo Project (2013 R&D 100 winner) is focused on the development of open source, portable mini-applications and mini-drivers for the co-design of future supercomputers and applications. HPCG is an official TOP 500 benchmark for ranking computer systems, complementing LINPACK.
