TITLE:		Challenges Optimizing HPC Applications Within New Computer
 		Architecture Environments


SPEAKER		Patrick Dreher  (MIT)


ABSTRACT:

The evolution of computer hardware architectures has provided ever more 
powerful computational platforms that have been applied to a spectrum of 
research topics and unsolved problems in many disciplines.  However, over the 
past decade, the physics and engineering constraints on these processors have 
forced designers to construct more complex platforms to circumvent these 
limitations.  In turn, more complex designs are now presenting ever more 
challenging problems for users to modify their algorithms so that these HPC 
codes can run effectively on the new systems. This talk will give an overview 
of some of these challenges and use lattice quantum chromodynamics as one of 
the classic HPC grand challenge problems to illustrate where some of these 
difficulties are experienced today.  It will also speculate as to how these 
designs may impact HPC applications as the field moves toward the exascale era.
