The Department of Energy's Academic Strategic Alliances Program (ASAP), part of the DoE's Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) Level II, is supporting two research groups at Rice engaged in a combined effort focusing on:
- compilers and tools for memory management in large scale parallel computer systems
- scalable support for OpenMP
The compiler and tools research will focus on techniques for enhancing uniprocessor memory hierarchy utilization, interprocedural optimization for the integration of high performance libraries, and tools for parallel programming. The OpenMP project will focus on design and development of compiler and runtime support for efficient shared-memory parallel programming on networks of workstations using the TreadMarks software distributed shared memory system.
