This workshop focuses on programming modelsand runtimes for extreme scale systems Next generationarchitectures and systems being deployed are characterizedby high concurrency, low memory per core, and multiple levelsof hierarchy and heterogeneity These characteristics bringout new challenges in energy efficiency, fault toleranceand, scalability It is commonly believed that software hasthe biggest share of the responsibility to tackle thesechallenges In other words, this responsibility is delegatedto the next generation programming models and their associated middleware runtimes. |
