IDEAS-ECP Helps Ensure the Exascale Software Ecosystem is Optimally Productive and Sustainable

Mike Heroux and Lois McIness discuss the IDEAS (Interoperable Design of Extreme-Scale Application Software) effort for the Exascale Computing Project (ECP).

The Flexible Computational Science Infrastructure (FleCSI) Project: Supporting Multiphysics Application Development

The Flexible Computational Science Infrastructure (FleCSI) project provides a framework to support multiphysics application development. The leader of FleCSI, Ben Bergen of Los Alamos National Laboratory, shares insights about the project on the Let's Talk Exascale podcast.

Influencing the Evolution of the MPI Standard for Optimal Exascale Scientific Applications

The Exascale MPI project is directed at affecting the evolution of the de facto programming model for parallel computing, message passing interface, so that optimal exascale scientific applications can be developed. Hear about the project on Let's Talk Exascale.

Exascale Holds the Key to Generating Realistic and Accurate Scenarios of Future Earthquakes

Computer simulation has become an essential and core component of earthquake design for major infrastructure, but researchers need to better understand and quantify future earthquakes. Exascale computing could allow for the realization of such advances. Learn more on Let's Talk Exascale.

ADIOS: Providing a Framework for Scientific Data on Exascale Systems

The ADIOS project—led by Scott Klasky of Oak Ridge National Laboratory—is optimizing I/O on exascale architectures and making itself easily maintainable, sustainable, and extensible, while ensuring its performance and scalability.

Audio Update: Software Technology Research Focus Area

ECP’s Software Technology (ST) research focus area is working on several elements of its Software Development Kit initiative and preparing for the coordinated release of ST products for Q1FY19. Those are two of the topics ST Director Michael Heroux discusses in an audio update.

Audio Update: Application Development Research Focus Area

The status of the testing of ECP applications on the Summit system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the success and impact of the co-design centers are among the subjects of an audio update from Andrew Siegel, director of ECP’s Application Development research focus area.

Audio Update: Hardware and Integration

The US Department of Energy high performance computing laboratories will acquire, install, and operate exascale-class systems. ECP's Hardware and Integration focus area helps the labs and ECP applications and software teams prepare for exascale through mutually beneficial collaborations.

Helping to Make the Development of Scientific Applications Effective and Efficient for Exascale and Beyond

Organizing the Exascale Computing Project's efforts in software development kits, or SDKs, makes the process of developing a capable exascale ecosystem more effective and more efficient. Listen to the Let's Talk Exascale podcast to learn more.
