  Keynote: Mitsuhisa Sato, University of Tsukuba and RIKEN AICS: "The K Computer and XcalableMP Parallel Language Project: Towards a Programming Environment for Peta-scale Computing". (slides, abstracthide abstract, photo) Abstract: Currently, Japanese petascale computing facility, named the K computer, is being developed and the installation will be finished during the year 2012 at RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS) The K computer has been ranked as the top 1 in the latest top 500 list. The goals of the project are not only to develop and install the most advanced high performance supercomputer system with 10-peta flops class performance, but also development and deployment of scientific pata-scale application software, which should be made to attain the system maximum capability, in various science and engineering fields. The programming environment including programming languages is an important research topic to improve performance and increase productivity of computational sciences using the high performance computer systems. In the past Earth Simulator project, HPF was selected to be an advanced programming language. For the K computer, a PGAS parallel programming language called XcalableMP (XMP for short), which is designed by XcalableMP Specification Working Group, will be deployed by the AICS. While it adopts the PGAS model, the concept of XMP's global-view programming model reflects several experiences of HPF obtained at the time of the Earth Simulator project. In this talk, I will present the XcalableMP programming language, will be used as a programming environment for our petascale computing facility, the K computer. About the Keynote Speaker: Mitsuhisa Sato received the M.S. degree and the Ph.D. degree in information science from the University of Tokyo in 1984 and 1990. He was a senior researcher at Electrotechnical Laboratory from 1991 to 1996, and a chief of Parallel and distributed system performance laboratory in Real World Computing Partnership, Japan, from 1996 to 2001. Currently, he is a professor of Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba. He is a director of Center for computational sciences, University of Tsukuba since 2007. Since October 2010, he is appointed to the research team leader of programming environment research team in Advanced Institute of Computational Science (AICS), RIKEN, which is the main organization to run Japanese petaflops facility "K computer" in Japan.

  SESSION 4 "2009 and 2011 EU Computing Systems Projects"

• Chair:

  Koen De Bosschere, Ghent University (photo)

• The session will look at European multi-core programming projects that address Computing Systems objective of FP7. It will be an opportunity to discuss differences and commonalities in vision and approach, means and methods of four selected projects. We will present ENCORE and PEPPHER as representatives of the 2009 Computing Systems call and two projects from the 2011 Computing Systems call: AUTOTUNE and LPGPU.
