There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Scott BadenTITLE: How to Reduce and Tolerate Communication Costs
ABSTRACT:
I will describe recent work in two projects aimed at reducing the impact of steadily increasing communication costs on scalable systems. The first is UPC++, a C++ PGAS library that leverages the GASNet-EX communication library to deliver close to the metal communication performance. The second is MATE, a domain specific translator that restructures MPI applications to tolerate communication by hiding it behind available communication. The benefit of UPC++ comes from its support for one-sided communication and remote procedure call. The performance of MATE’s translated code is competitive with that of manual restructuring.
BIO:
Dr. Baden received his M.S. and Ph.D. in computer science from UC Berkeley in 1982 and 1987. He is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UCSD, where he was a faculty member for 27 years. His research interests are in high performance and scientific computation: domain specific translation, abstraction mechanisms, run times, and irregular problems.
Please join us for a reception after.
