Mathematics and Computer Science Division
" How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Exascale and Love MPI"

DATE: March 18, 2013
TIME: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
SPEAKER: Jim Dinan, Assistant Computer Scientist Interviewee
LOCATION: Building 240, Conference Center Rooms 1406 and 140, Argonne National Laboratory
HOST: Pavan Balaji

Description:
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is an extremely successful parallel programming model, and it is expected to be a core component for exascale applications. In spite of its success, there are growing gaps between MPI and system and application architectures. In this talk, I will describe current and ongoing efforts to advance the state of the art in scalable parallel programming models through MPI. I will discuss the recently released MPI 3.0 standard, with a focus on the new one-sided communication interface. This interface enables a broad range asynchronous dat a access techniques and provides portable support for globally accessible distributed data, two parallel programming idioms that will be of increasing importance on future systems.
