PEPPHER

• Title: Performance Portability and Programmability for Heterogeneous Many-core Architectures

• Type: COOPERATION (ICT)

• Defi: Computing Systems

• Instrument: Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP)

• Duration: October 2010 - December 2012

• Coordinator: Universität Wien (Austria)

• Others partners: Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB (Sweden), Codeplay Software Limited (United Kingdom), Intel GmbH (Germany), Linköpings Universitet (Sweden), Movidia Ltd. (Ireland), Universität Karlsruhe (Germany)

• Abstract: PEPPHER will provide a unified framework for programming architecturally diverse, heterogeneous many-core processors to ensure performance portability. PEPPHER will advance state-of-the-art in its five technical work areas:

  1. Methods and tools for component based software

  2. Portable compilation techniques

  3. Data structures and adaptive, autotuned algorithms

  4. Efficient, flexible run-time systems

  5. Hardware support for autotuning, synchronization and scheduling

Collaborations in European Programs, except FP7

• Program: COST

• Project acronym: ComplexHPC

• Project title: Open Network for High-Performance Computing on Complex Environments

• Duration: may 2009 – may 2013

• Coordinator: Emmanuel Jeannot

• Other partners: 24 European Countries, 2 non-European counties.

• Abstract: The goal of the Action is to establish a European research network focused on high performance heterogeneous computing in order to address the whole range of challenges posed by these new platforms including models, algorithms, programming tools and applications.
