Programming the next generation of supercomputers: proceedings for the Argonne workshop
- eds.
The Argonne National Laboratory workshop titled ''Programming the Next Generation of Supercomputers'' was held at the Amfac Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The purpose of the workshop was to gather together researchers from the DOE laboratories who were using multiprocessors and to have these investigators relate their experiences with the programming languages supplied with these processors. The goal was to identify those areas where additional language primitives would aid in the development of portable software. Upon the identification of such needs, extensions to the Fortran language would then be proposed to such groups as the DOE Language Working Group and the X3J3 Fortran committee for further study. The topics presented at the workshop included reviews of existing languages that address concurrency and parallel computation, presentations on portable programming methods for parallel processing, users' views of what is needed to program multiprocessors, and the supplier's views of what is needed to drive their processors. This report collects the presentations given at this workshop and records the organized discussion held after each presentation and each session. In most cases, the materials reproduced here are the slides given by each author at the workshop. In some cases, papers were prepared by the authors and included in this report. A summary of the conclusions reached by the workshop is also included.
