This work explores areas of common interest in programming models for the coming exascale era. Initially, the intent was to aggregate NNSA and CEA lab's work in this area into a common repository. Early work will focus on low-level application programming interfaces (APIs), micro-benchmarks, and mini-applications. Work in the out-years will include APIs and languages that provide higher levels of abstraction.
Accomplishments
1) Los Alamos rewrote, and posted as open source, a CUDA version of the CEA mini-app: codehydro.
2) Sandia published a technical report analyzing mini-apps and their representation of characteristics of actual production codes.
