Developing high-performance parallel languages on the SGI Altix


EMSL Project ID
3620

Abstract

Our group is working on developing high-performance parallel languages (specifically UPC and Titanium) for modern supercomputers. We'd like to port our implementation of GASNet (a unified, high-perf communication system) to the SGI Altix and thereby gain implementations of UPC and Titanium on this new hardware platform. We feel the machine characteristics make the Altix an ideal platform for this class of parallel languages, and will showcase the machine's capabilities nicely.
In order to do this, we need access to the EMSL ECL "baby Altix" system (and any future Altix systems) for myself and several of my collegues. The CPU resource requirements should be minimal - mostly just debugging & benchmarking work.
