Abstract: The ELCI project main goal is to develop a highly-scalable new software stack to tackle high-end supercomputers, from numerical solvers to programming environments and run-time systems. In particular, the Corse team is studying the scalability of OpenMP run-time systems on large scale shared memory machines through the PhD of Philippe Virouleau, co-advised by researchers from the Corse and AVALON Inria teams. This work intends to propose new approaches based on a compiler/run-time cooperation to improve the execution of scientific task-based programs on NUMA platforms. The PhD of Philippe Virouleau is funded by this project.
IPL ZEP
-
Abstract: The ZEP project addresses the issue of designing tiny computing objects with no battery by combining non-volatile memory (NVRAM), energy harvesting, micro-architecture innovations, compiler optimizations, and static analysis. The main application target is Internet of Things (IoT) where small communicating objects will be composed of this computing part associated to a low-power wake-up radio system. The ZEP project gathers four Inria teams that have a scientific background in architecture, compilation, operating system and low power together with the CEA Lialp and Lisan laboratories of CEA LETI & LIST. The major outcomes of the project will be a prototype harvesting board including NVRAM and the design of a new microprocessor associated with its optimizing compiler and operating system.
