Rich just returned from Chattanooga, where he had a chance to discuss the group’s work on multicore CPUs and GPUs at the US Dept. of Energy’s Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) meeting. The session in which he spoke was filled with great talks on advances in autotuning and the future of MPI.
The slides for Rich’s talk are available here:
