Supercomputing Spotlights is a new webinar series featuring short 
presentations that highlight the impact and successes of 
high-performance computing (HPC) throughout our world. Presentations, 
emphasizing achievements and opportunities in HPC, are intended for the 
broad international community, especially students and newcomers to the 
field. Supercomputing Spotlights is an outreach initiative of 
SIAG/Supercomputing (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://siag-sc.org__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!a8sSYdu4vnw5ntP0tocUc2LzjaXy42-MpH5HxscT_vW4UarWu4UXRiTXEiPvNHbq5jCL9-YxkmQ_xFB2jmUrPazPKzoG7cM$ ) …  Join us!

Abstract:
The seven-year US Exascale Computing Project (ECP) just finished.  One 
significant legacy of the project is a curated, coordinated, and 
performance-portable software ecosystem across three major GPU platforms 
and CPU-based systems.  In addition, the stack is prepared for rapid 
adaptation to future highly concurrent devices.

In this talk, we describe the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack 
(E4S), founded on the Spack package management tools, containing more 
than 100 scientific software libraries and tools, most of which are GPU 
capable across all major GPU platforms.  We talk about lessons learned 
from ECP, primarily related to the design of algorithms and software for 
portable execution on scalable GPU-based systems from AMD, Intel, and 
NVIDIA.  We focus on a broad set of principles and strategies from the 
ECP team’s efforts to contribute more than 70 reusable libraries and 
tools to the open-source scientific and technical computing communities.

Bio:
Michael (Mike) Heroux is a Senior Scientist at Sandia National 
Laboratories, former Director of Software Technology for the US 
Department of Energy Exascale Computing Project (ECP), and Scientist in 
Residence at St. John’s University, MN, USA. His research interests 
include all scalable scientific and engineering software aspects for new 
and emerging parallel computing architectures.

He is the founder of the Trilinos scientific libraries, Kokkos 
performance portability, Mantevo miniapps, and HPCG Benchmark projects. 
He leads the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S) project in 
DOE, a curated collection of HPC software libraries and tools. He is 
also the PI of the PESO software-ecosystem stewardship and advancement 
project focused on post-ECP scientific software efforts.

Mike is a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics 
(SIAM), a Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing 
Machinery (ACM), and a Senior Member of IEEE. He serves on the ACM 
Publications Board and is chair of the ACM New Publications Committee.
