Welcome! We are the Parallel Programming Laboratory.
Our goal is to develop technology that improves performance of parallel applications while also improving programmer productivity. We aim to reach a point where, with our freely distributed software base, complex irregular and dynamic applications can (a) be developed quickly and (b) perform scalably on machines with thousands of processors.
Processor virtualization is one of our core techniques: the programmer divides the computation into a large number of entities, which are mapped to the available processors by an intelligent runtime system. This separation of concerns between programmers and the system is key to attaining both our goals together.
PPL at SC21
There are multiple Charm++, CharmMPI, NAMD and associated research talks and activities at SC21 this year. These include:
As usual, we will have a BoF (Birds of a Feather) session on Tuesday, Nov 16th, from 12:15pm to 1:15pm in Room 227-228. It is accessible for virtual attendees as well as exhibit attendees. NAMD, one of the earliest Charm++ applications, is featured in two of the six Gordon Bell award finalists in the special category aimed at COVID-19...
