ABSTRACT:
We are now at least five years into the heterogeneous age of computing, and it is still very much a moving target, with no clear path forward for the evolution of legacy codes. This is due to the many challenges that legacy developers face in this endeavor: Limited Support for Fortran Application and Data Structure Design Issues User Base (support vs. refactoring) Developer Base (may not be collocated) This BOF will focus on these challenges and on potential strategies for supporting legacy codes in current and future HPC environments.
