ESPT 2013 - International Workshop on Extreme-Scale Programming Tools

As we approach exascale, architectural complexity and severe resource limitations with respect to power, memory and I/O, make tools support in debugging and performance optimization more critical then ever before. However, the challenges mentioned above also apply to tools development and, in particular, raise importance of topics such as automatic tuning and methodologies for exascale tools-aided application development. This workshop will serve as a forum for application, system, and tool developers to discuss the requirements for future exascale-enabled tools and the roadblocks that need to be addressed on the way. We also highly encourage application developers to share their experiences with using the tools.
The event will also focus on the community-building process necessary to create an integrated tools-suite ready for an exascale software stack.
This workshop is organized by Michael Gerndt from the Technical University of Munich on behalf of the Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing, an international initiative of HPC programming-tool builders.
