Programming is hard. Building a large program is like constructing a steam locomotive
through a hole the size of a postage stamp. An artefact that is the fruit of hundreds of person …

Structured parallel programs ought to be conceived as two separate and complementary
entities: computation, which expresses the calculations in a procedural manner, and …

Grid computing enables the development of large scientific applications on an
unprecedented scale. Grid-aware applications, also called meta-applications or multi …

In many parallel applications high performance figures are reached at the expenses of
software quality. The parallel structure of an application is decided by the programmer and …

ANACLETO: a template-based p3l compiler Abstract 1 Introduction Page 1 ANACLETO: a
template-based p3l compiler S. Ciarpaglini, M. Danelutto, L. Folchi, C. Manconi and S. Pelagatti …

We describe the use of the BSP cost model to optimise programs, based on skeletons or
data-parallel operations, in which program components may have multiple implementations …

Directions of software technologies for innovative HPC environments are discussed
according to the industrial user requirements for heterogeneous multidisciplinary …

We introduce a component software architecture designed for demanding grid computing
environments that allows the optimal performance of the assembled component applications …

Presents the results of a project aimed at assembling a hybrid massively parallel machine,
the PQE1 prototype, which is devoted to the simulation of complex physical models. The …

Parallel programming needs a high level programming model in which compilers and run
time supports take care of traditionally intractable problems related to efficient usage of the …
