DESCRIPTION:Automating Distributed Heterogeneous Computing for Python Programmers
URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.csa.iisc.ac.in/newweb/event/279/automating-distributed-heterogeneous-computing-for-python-programmers/
SUMMARY:Multiple simultaneous disruptions are currently under way in both hardware and software, as we consider the implications for future HPC systems.  In hardware, “extreme heterogeneity” has become critical to sustaining cost and performance improvements after Moores Law, but poses significant productivity challenges for developers.  In software, the rise of large-scale data science and AI applications is being driven by domain experts from diverse backgrounds who demand the programmability that they have come to expect from high-level languages like Python.

While current foundations for compiler and runtime technologies have served us well for many decades, we now see signs of their limitations in the face of these disruptions.  This talk makes a case for new approaches to enable productivity and programmability of future HPC systems for domain scientists, and discusses preliminary results obtained in response to the challenge of automating distributed heterogeneous computing for Python programmers.
