The IDEAS Productivity project, in partnership with the DOE Computing Facilities of the ALCF, OLCF, and NERSC and the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has resumed the webinar series on Best Practices for HPC Software Developers, which we began in 2016.

As part of this series, we offer one-hour webinars on topics in scientific software development and high-performance computing, approximately once a month. The next webinar in the series was titled Building Community through xSDK Software Policies, and was presented by Ulrike Meier Yang (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and Piotr Luszczek (The University of Tennessee, Knoxville). The webinar took place on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.

Abstract:

The development of increasingly complex computer architectures and software ecosystems continues. Applications that incorporate multiphysics modeling as well as the coupling of simulation and data analytics increasingly require the combined use of software packages developed by diverse, independent teams throughout the HPC community. The Extreme-scale Scientific Software Development Kit (xSDK) is being developed to provide coordinated infrastructure for independent mathematical libraries to support the productive and efficient development of high-quality applications. This webinar discussed the development and impact of xSDK community policies, which constitute an integral part of the project and have been defined to achieve improved code quality and compatibility across xSDK member packages and a sustainable software ecosystem.
