(USA) and ParaTools, SAS (France). He serves as the lead developer of the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S), TAU Performance System, Program Database Toolkit (PDT), and HPC Linux. His research interests include scientific software stacks, performance instrumentation, compiler optimizations, measurement, and analysis tools for HPC. He leads the SDK project for the Exascale Computing Project (ECP), in the Programming Models and Runtime (PMR) area. He received his B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 1991, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science from the University of Oregon in 1996 and 2001 respectively.
Sessions
The DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Software Technology focus area is developing an HPC software ecosystem that will enable the efficient and performant execution of exascale applications. Through the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S) [https://e4s.io], it is developing a comprehensive and coherent software stack that will enable application developers to productively write highly parallel applications that can portably target diverse exascale architectures. E4S provides both source builds through the Spack platform and a set of containers that feature a broad collection of HPC software packages. E4S exists to accelerate the development, deployment, and use of HPC software, lowering the barriers for HPC users. It provides Spack build cache for package binaries, container images, build manifests, and turn-key, from-source builds of popular HPC software packages developed as Software Development Kits (SDKs). This effort includes a broad range of areas including programming models and runtimes (MPICH, Kokkos, RAJA, OpenMPI), development tools (TAU, HPCToolkit, PAPI), math libraries (PETSc, Trilinos), data and visualization tools (Adios, HDF5, Paraview), workflows (flex), and compilers (LLVM), all available through the Spack package manager. E4S supports OpenPOWER (ppc64le), x86_64, and aarch64 systems. It includes the TAU Performance System - a versatile performance profiling and tracing toolkit for HPC and AI/ML applications running on CPUs and GPUs. The combination of E4S and TAU provides a comprehensive environment for program development, deployment, and performance evaluation for HPC and AI/ML users.
