University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Parallel applications tend to be complex and hard to debug.
Programmers need good programming models, compilers, and other
tools to ease their burden. For the new generation of multi-physics
and multi-scale applications, developers would like to concurrently
compose multiple modules, possibly written in a range of languages and
paradigms. Charm++ and AMPI address these issues, supporting a
programming approach that enhances programmer productivity while
achieving good performance. An adaptive runtime system automates
such necessities as load balancing, fault tolerance, check pointing,
dynamic job resizing, and performance instrumentation. The
message-driven approach supports concurrent composition of modules,
while higher level notations support commonly used communication
patterns with high productivity.

Join us for a discussion of emerging techniques and technologies for
parallel programming.

Please forward this invitation to local distribution lists and other
interested parties.
