SCHEDULE: NOV 12-18, 2011

When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.

You can also create your personal schedule on the SC11 app (Boopsie) on your smartphone. Simply select a session you want to attend and "add" it to your plan. Continue in this manner until you have created your own personal schedule. All your events will appear under "My Event Planner" on your smartphone.

HPC Runtime Software: Force or Fallacy

SESSION: HPC Runtime Software: Force or Fallacy

EVENT TYPE: Panel

TIME: 10:30AM - 12:00PM

SESSION CHAIR: Thomas Lawrence Sterling

Panelists:Thomas Sterling, William Gropp, William Carlson, Sanjay Kale, Anant Agarwal

ROOM:TCC 101

ABSTRACT:
The opportunity for improved system utilization through the exploitation of runtime information has long challenged the HPC community but has largely been ignored by mainstream programming due to overheads. Systems such as Charm++ have demonstrated performance advantage for such highly dynamic problems through runtime load balancing while overheads have limited strong scaling. Emerging multithreading software like Cilk, SWARM, and HPX are exhibiting early instances of further success compared to static task scheduled resource management. The proposed panel will explore and discuss the controversial adaptation of runtime systems as they relate to efficiency, scalability, and programmability for future multi/manycore and GPU based parallel systems.
