Exascale Programming Models for Heterogeneous Systems

Objective

The first exascale supercomputer is likely to be on-line in the 2020-2021 time period and to employ highly heterogeneous compute and memory subsystems. Only the presence of mature programming environments can guarantee its efficient usage since day one of its delivery. EPiGRAM-HS, leveraging the results of the EPiGRAM project, will provide such a programming environment.

The overall objective of EPiGRAM-HS is the development of a new validated programming environment for large-scale heterogeneous computing systems, including accelerators, reconfigurable hardware and low-power microprocessor together with non-volatile and high-bandwidth memories, for enabling applications to run on large-scale heterogeneous systems at maximum performance.

EPiGRAM-HS will first extend the programmability of large-scale heterogeneous systems, by introducing new concepts, adding functionalities and carrying out implementations in MPI and GASPI.

EPiGRAM-HS will also maximize the productivity of application development by designing and implementing APIs, runtime systems, and a DSL, for auto-tuned communication, optimized data placement, automatic code generation and data migration.

Finally, the EPiGRAM-HS programming environment will be integrated into and validated against large HPC scientific applications and a deep-learning framework for data analytics. Most importantly, EPiGRAM-HS will provide a migration path for applications to use large-scale heterogeneous systems. By contributing to the standardization of MPI and GASPI, we will ensure that new proposed features are standardized for a large and broad adoption.

EPiGRAM-HS consortium has been designed to create a balanced team from academia, high-performance computing centers, intergovernmental organizations and industry. The EPiGRAM-HS has the ambition of providing the future programming environment for the European exascale Demonstrator and will have a major impact on programming exascale supercomputers.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
