Abstract
The computing power to be made available to applications in the coming years continues to increase. Hardware vendors anticipate many cores on single chips and fast networks connecting them, enabling a bewildering array of new approaches to parallel programming whose superiority to ”classical” approaches (MPI) remains uncertain. One certainty is that application developers will need tools that promote understanding of their parallel codes. In this talk we will review a number of approaches to application development, from Fortran77+MPI to the relatively exotic DARPA ”high productivity” languages, together with a sampling of tools, both new and old, that aid programmers in application development.
