Programming Environments SIG Report

The CUG Summit in Indian Wells, California, featured many interesting presentations by the Programming Environments SIG:

• Brian Koblenz (Cray, Inc.) and Gabriel Broner (SGI) presented the software roadmaps for their companies.
• Margaret Cahir (Cray, Inc.) talked about high performance parallel programming models for Cray systems.
• Karl Feind (SGI) gave a status update on SGI's message-passing systems.
• Robert Numrich (Cray, Inc.) showed the strengths of the parallel programming paradigms in Co-Array Fortran, Unified Parallel C, and Titanium.
• Tarek El-Ghazawi and Bill Carlson (IDA), together with Tom Page (NSA) and Greg Fisher (Cray, Inc.), presented an extended tutorial on Unified Parallel C (UPC).
• Hans-Hermann Frese (ZIB) presented an evaluation on C++ compilers for the Cray T3E.
• Edward Anderson (EPA) talked about LAPACK 3, LAPACK 95, and Fortran 90 linkage issues.
• Frank Chism (Cray, Inc.) showed us how to compile and run a program on a first generation Cray Supercluster system.

The Programming Environments Open Meetings on Thursday and Friday discussed several important topics about programming models in general, compilers, libraries, and programming tools for Cray and SGI systems.

If you would like to present a paper at the next CUG Summit 2002 in Manchester, UK, please contact one of the focus chairs, David Gigrich for the Compilers and Libraries focus and Guy Robinson for the Software Tools focus, or the Programming Environments group chair Hans-Hermann Frese. More information about the CUG SUMMIT 2002 will be available on the CUG Home Page.
