DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Today, simulation scientists recognize the current prevalence of architectures based on massively parallel and multi-core processor topologies. They are now compelled to concentrate much more on scalability when developing new models, or when re-engineering established codes to new machines.=0A=0ATo address the obstacles posed by Petascale (and in future Exascale) computing, a number of community-oriented, high-level support initiatives have been started in Europe and the US. These initiatives differ in their structural details, but all aim to provide a level of numerical expertise and specialist competence which goes significantly beyond the traditional help desk functionality.=0A=0AThe goals of this BoF are to: a) compare the various user support structures currently in operation b) examine sustainability issues of scientific software in HPC c) provide support teams at leading SC centers with an opportunity to exchange experiences and ideas d) motivate other centers to establish or to strengthen their own community-oriented support.
