Wilke, Jeremiah J.; Hollman, David S.; Slattengren, Nicole S.; Lifflander, Jonathan; Kolla, Hemanth K.; Rizzi, Francesco N.; Teranishi, Keita T.; Bennett, Janine C.

In this document, we provide the specifications for DARMA (Distributed Asynchronous Resilient Models and Applications), a co-design research vehicle for asynchronous many-task (AMT) programming models that serves to: 1) insulate applications from runtime system and hardware idiosyncrasies, 2) improve AMT runtime programmability by co-designing an application programmer interface (API) directly with application developers, 3) synthesize application co-design activities into meaningful requirements for runtime systems, and 4) facilitate AMT design space characterization and definition, accelerating the development of AMT best practices.
