Abstract

Users of high-performance computing systems face many challenges, particularly as they design and develop their software to run at multiple facilities. This can lead to a â聙聹greatest common denominatorâ聙聺 strategy that slows innovation and the adoption of newer techniques. In addition, these systems typically push the limits â聙聰 leading to problems with reliability and functionality of the system and software. We propose a consortium of HPC centers to collaborate on raising both the capability and the quality of the software for HPC systems.
