FY17 ASC P&EM L2 Milestone 6009: Demonstrate Thread Scalability within Aria on Both Sides of Trinity

Clausen, Jonathan C.

The use of next-generation platforms (NGPs), also known as advanced technology systems (ATS), that incorporate many-core and heterogeneous architectures for scientific computing represent a tectonic shift in computing hardware design that will require massive development work within the Sierra applications to harness these systems to their full potential. The completion of this milestone represents a first step towards this effort by threading many of the computational kernels within Sierra/Aria.
