Information

Writing good parallel programs is painful. Very painful.

This is because high-performance compute systems have evolved from simple single core machines, strung together with ethernet, into multi-core, multi-accelerator, multi-level monsters. As a consequence, programming such systems means dealing with synchronization and communication overhead, load imbalance, a multitude of programming models and languages.

In this workshop we bring together application people to share their pain in programming parallel systems, with people working on programming frameworks and models. We hope this can lead to insights and solutions to alleviate the pain.
