Successful Technology Transfer with Siemens

In a cooperation with the Corporate Technology Multicore Expert Center of Siemens AG, work has started on the RAPID project (Runtime Analysis of Parallel applications for Industrial software Development). In a first step, experts from JSC and Siemens will extend and enhance measurement and analysis support for node-level programming models of JSC's well-known HPC performance toolset Scalasca, as these are the current basis for industrial applications. This includes multi-threading models like POSIX, Windows, ACE, and QT threads as well as task-based models like MTAPI. This will also benefit Scalasca's current HPC users who employ these models in hybrid applications as well.
