Describe how you expect to target (optimize/analyze) applications written using existing computational libraries	(EXPRESS)	(TG)	(DEGAS)	(D-TEC)	(DynAX)	(X-TUNE)	(GVR)	(CORVETTE)	SLEEC	Support optimization efforts with tools that can capture some of the internal semantics of a given library (e.g., levels of multigrid V cycle or patches in an AMR library)
Many computational libraries (e.g., Kokkos in Trilinos) provide support for managing data distribution and communication. Describe how your project targets applications that use such libraries.	(EXPRESS)	(TG)	(DEGAS)	(D-TEC)	(DynAX)	(X-TUNE)	(GVR)	(CORVETTE)	N/A	PIPER will provide stack wide instrumentation to facilitate optimization - access to internal information only known to the library should be exported to tools through appropriate APIs (preferably through similar and interoperable APIs)
If your project aims to develop new programming models, describe any plans to integrate existing computational libraries into the model, or how you will transition applications written using such libraries to your model.	(EXPRESS)	(TG)	(DEGAS)	(D-TEC)	(DynAX)	(X-TUNE)	(GVR)	(CORVETTE)	N/A	N/A
What sorts of properties (semantics of computation, information about data usage, etc.) would you find useful to your project if captured by computational libraries?	(EXPRESS)	(TG)	(DEGAS)	(D-TEC)	(DynAX)	(X-TUNE)	(GVR)	(CORVETTE)	N/A	Attribution information about internal data structures (e.g., data distributions, patch information for AMR) as well as phase/time slice information
