SESSION: What Next for On-Node Parallelism? Is OpenMP the Best We Can Hope For?

EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather

TIME: 5:30PM - 7:00PM

SESSION LEADER(S):Jim Cownie

ROOM:155-C

ABSTRACT:
OpenMP is the de-facto standard for on-node parallelism, but it is big, prescriptive and composes poorly. Newer standards like Cilk Plus or TBB propose more dynamic exploitation of parallelism while being much less prescriptive. In this BOF well invite the OpenMP experts Michael Wolfe (PGI) and Tim Mattson (Intel) and Cilk experts Robert Geva (Intel) and Bradley Kuszmaul(MIT) to present their view of the future requirements, how we can meet them, and whether OpenMP is sufficient. The aim is a lively debate with a lot of audience participation moderated by MPI expert Rusty Lusk (ANL).
