What's New?

In the News
Argonne researchers demonstrated a new system, called SPRUCE (Special Priority and Urgent Computing Environment), at Supercomputing 2006 in November. The demonstration featured a hypothetical scenario in which immediate access was requested and granted to the TeraGrid supercomputers at the University of Chicago for time-sensitive analyses of a rapidly evolving weather emergency. The SPRUCE system is currently deployed on NSF TeraGrid resources at five sites nationwide. For more information, see the SPRUCE website.

Open Positions:
We invite candidates to apply for senior software developer and postdoctoral researcher - scalable systems software.

Mission

Our mission is to develop the technologies required to dramatically increase the productivity of scientists developing applications for parallel supercomputers.

The focus is fourfold:

  • integration of parallel programming tools,
  • reuse of parallel program components,
  • development of scientific computing toolkits and portable libraries; and
  • exploration of requirements of future parallel computers.
  • Activities

    To accomplish our mission, we have undertaken several projects in parallel tool development, high-performance I/O, and data management.
  • MPICH2
  • Performance visualization
  • PVFS2
  • ROMIO
  • Cobalt
  • ZeptoOS
