Research and Technology Advances in Systems
Software for Emerging Computer Architectures
The presentation will address research and technology advances for
optimized and dependable execution in large scale computing environments.
Applications and at the same time computational platforms are becoming
as well increasingly more powerful but also more complex. Efficient
and effective development of applications, optimized use of the
computational resources, and guaranteeing quality of service and
dependability at all layers of the computational system, requires
systems software advances, such as in programming environments,
application composition systems, optimized application mapping and
dynamic runtime technologies, debugging and check-pointing methods,
and performance-engineered hardware and software capabilities at
all layers. An overarching consideration, and thesis of this presentation,
is that these advances need to be made in a synergistic and integrated
manner, taking a systems-view in developing these enabling technologies,
rather than advancing each of the individual technologies in an
isolated manner. |

Donald R. Snyder III - Challenges for High Performance
Real Time Scene Generation - Next Generation SW and HW Interconnects
Current and future aircrews rely on both aircraft
sensors and the capabilities of smart weapons. To develop and validate
these smart weapon systems requires training and algorithm validation
based on the real time synthesis of physics based imagery. Current
processors and clusters can not generate the environment variables
and waveforms necessary to convince modern sensors and signal processors
that they are actually in a "real" flight environment.
Networks of heterogeneous processors (GPUS, FPGAs, and CELLS) are
necessary to create the accuracy and speed to synthesize multi and
hyper spectral imagery and LADAR/RADAR waveforms that can be projected
and injected into sensors under test. Evolution of a next generation
of computational and scene generation clusters is required to meet
the requirements for multi-spectral sensor and signal processor
validation and verification. |
