Special Issue on Enabling Technologies for Programming Extreme Scale Systems
Journal of Supercomputing https://www.editorialmanager.com/supe/

Overview
As Multi-Core Architectures (MCA) present a new trend, core-based parallel processing algorithms will continue to become more important. Furthermore, the wide-scale deployment of computing nodes, clusters, and embedded processors will continue to fuel core parallel processing and distributed systems algorithms. Thus, the importance of scalable parallel programming will continue to grow. The field of parallel and distributed computing is going through rapid changes. The emerging multi-core commodity processors and advanced networking technologies are allowing for the design of cost-effective parallel and distributed systems. To achieve scalability and high performance in these systems, it is increasingly becoming challenging to design better architecture, software environments, networking protocols, compilers, operating systems, languages, algorithms and applications for designing next generation scalable and high performance parallel systems.
