Abstract

Users of high-performance computing systems face many challenges, particularly as they design and develop their software to run at multiple facilities. This can lead to a "greatest common denominator" strategy that slows innovation and the adoption of newer techniques. In addition, these systems typically push the limits - leading to problems with reliability and functionality of the system and software. We propose a consortium of HPC centers to collaborate on raising both the capability and the quality of the software for HPC systems.
