We are pleased to present to the European CoE community the first Workshop on Software Co-Design Actions in European Flagship HPC Codes scheduled in conjunction with ISC High Performance (ISC) on June 2nd in Hamburg, Germany. Organised by FocusCoE, SiPearl, Arm Ltd and NVIDIA, this workshop focuses specifically on software co-design actions applied to production-grade community-wide European flagship HPC applications. Scientists representing MaX, EoCoE, POP, BioExcel, TREX, and RAISE Centres of Excellence will share their experiences and lessons learnt in software co-design, which remains a ‘must-do’ to address a complex and dynamic HPC technology landscape with a rich portfolio of choices across CPU architectures and accelerators.
We encourage any in-person participants of ISC to attend the workshop live!

SimGrid
SimGrid is a framework for developing simulators of distributed applications that executed on distributed platforms, which can in turn be used to prototype, evaluate and compare relevant platform configurations, system designs, and algorithmic approaches.
SimGrid provides ready to use models and APIs to simulate popular distributed computing platforms (commodity clusters, wide-area and local-area networks, peers over DSL connections, data centers, etc.) As a result, SimGrid has served as the foundational technology for developing simulators and obtaining experimental results for a wide range of distributed computing domains: Grid computing, P2P computing, Cloud computing, Fog computing, Volunteer computing, HPC with MPI, MapReduce.
SimGrid is accurate, scalable, and usable
- Accurate: SimGrid’s simulation models have been theoretically and experimentally evaluated and validated
- Scalable: SimGrid’s simulation models and their implementations are fast and have low memory footprint, making is possible to run SimGrid simulations quickly on a single machine
- Usable: SimGrid is free software (LGPL license) available on Linux / Mac OS X / Windows, and allows users to write simulators in C++, C, Python, or Java.

Cube
Cube, which is used as performance report explorer for Scalasca and Score-P, is a generic tool for displaying a multi-dimensional performance space consisting of the dimensions (i) performance metric, (ii) call path, and (iii) system resource. Each dimension can be represented as a tree, where non-leaf nodes of the tree can be collapsed or expanded to achieve the desired level of granularity. In addition, Cube can display multi-dimensional Cartesian process topologies.
