This deliverable reports on the latest software developments in high performance computing, as identified by the PRACE-1IP, WP9 members. The developments reported on here are the result of experiments and measurements carried out by the project members on PRACE prototype computer architectures. The characteristics of these prototypes were selected in order to allow investigation into a number of key aspects relevant to high performance computing, namely interconnects, I/O, energy efficiency and accelerators. In this document a presentation of this work has been prepared under four major topics: programming languages, system software and software tools and a preliminary look on hardware. With a view towards Exascale computing, we will present our results and findings for each of these topics, based on which we will conclude with a set of recommendations. |
