The community provides everything from operating system components to compilers and advanced math libraries. As an international community we have only loosely coordinated activities and plans for development. The new rapidly changing technologies in multicore, power consumption, GPGPUs, and memory architectures creates an opportunity for the community to work together and build an international program to design, build, and deliver the software so critical the science goals of our institutions. To help plan how the international community could build a partnership to provide the next generation of HPC software to support scientific discovery, we have had a series of workshops. We plan to report on the effort and solicit feedback from the community. This BOF will also cover the European Exascale Software Initiative (EESI).
