Porting Parallware Tool to Large HPC Installations Including Titan

Project Description

The main goal of this project during the renewal period is to conduct testing to ensure that the tools of the Parallware Suite run on the Titan supercomputer at ORNL. The first goal is to test the tool Parallware Trainer, an interactive real-time desktop tool for teaching and learning the usage of parallel programming through OpenMP & OpenACC directives. In the same line, the second goal is to test a new tool called Parallware Assistant (currently under development), which will provide additional features for guided parallelization of real HPC applications. Finally, an implicit goal for the renewal period is to complete success stories of the Parallware Suite with well-known codes, both at the level of micro-kernels and mini-apps. The case studies will be taken from benchmark suites that are a reference for the HPC community, such as SPEC ACCEL (https://www.spec.org/accel/), NAS Parallel Benchmarks (https://www.nas.nasa.gov/publications/npb.html) and CORAL benchmarks (https://asc.llnl.gov/CORAL-benchmarks/).
