Component Software for High-Performance Computing: Using the Common Component Architecture Session: M02: Component Software for High Performance Computing Event Type: Tutorial Time: 8:30am - 5:00pm Speaker(s): Benjamin A. Allan, Robert C. Armstrong, David E. Bernholdt, Randall Bramley, Lori Freitag Diachin, Wael R. Elwasif, Tom Epperly, Madhu Govindaraju, Manojkumar Krishnan, Gary Kumfert, Alan Morris, Boyana Norris, Jaideep Ray, Sameer Shende, Shujia Zhou Location: 613-614 Abstract: This tutorial will introduce participants to the Common Component Architecture (CCA) and constitutive technologies, such as Babel (language interoperability). Component-based approaches increase developer productivity by managing the complexity of large-scale applications and facilitating reuse and interoperability of code. Designed specifically for high-performance scientific computing, CCA supports language neutral component-based application development for both parallel and distributed computing without penalizing the underlying performance, and with a minimal effort to adapt existing code into components. The CCA environment is also well suited to the creation of domain-specific application frameworks, in which the rich domain-specific computational infrastructure is cast as components. Through lectures and hands-on exercises, participants will learn about component concepts and the CCA, and create interoperable components in multiple languages using Babel. Participants should bring a computer and an ethernet cable to connect to the tutorial server. The CCA tools and example software will also be available for download.
