Runtime Systems

Moderator: Vivek Sarkar

Panelists: Ron Brightwell, David Grove, Sanjay Kale, Wilf Pinfold, Kathy Yelick

We have presented the results of the Runtime Summit, which include challenges, solutions, a set of important questions to be answered, and a vision for a runtime architecture, with major components, interfaces, and how to measure success.

This session will focus on getting feedback from selected panelists and the audience on our results. Panelists will first provide us with constructive criticism and suggestions, followed by the interaction with the audience.

Performance Tools and Their Interfaces for the X-Stack

Moderator: Martin Schulz (LLNL)

This panel will discuss the role of performance tools in the exascale software stacks: which tools will users expect and which questions should they address, what abstractions should they map their results to and what interfaces in the X-Stack will be available for tools to require the necessary information?
