Informa tionstechnik\, Informatik\n Location:\n Name: TUD ()\n Street: \n Cit y: \n Phone: \n Fax: \nDescription: When CUDA was released in 2006\, allowing for general purpose programming of graphics processing units\, it wasn't obvious that it is a harbinger of things to come. In hin dsight however it marks the start of an unprecedented explosion in compute r architecture innovation\, which does not appear to stop anytime soon. Th is talk retraces one part of that computational revolution: how a statisti cal physics student from as small German university ended up leading Kokko s\, one of the central software technology projects at the US National Lab s dealing with that computational revolution.
This Kokkos EcoSystem is a software stack which enables comprehensive performance portability fo r high performance computing applications. Developed by a team from five U S National Laboratories as well as other partners\, it is now used by an e stimated 200 projects from around the world. Within the US Exascale Comput ing Project\, nearly as many applications have a dependency on Kokkos now as on Fortran. The talk  will dive into what makes the Kokkos project spe cial\, will discuss how Kokkos became successful and how CoDesign efforts with the hardware vendors was a crucial part of that. Additionally some th oughts about the future of the HPC computing landscape will be presented: what kind of changes we might expect in the next decade\, and how Kokkos f its into that future.

Christian Trott is a high performance comput ing expert with extensive experience designing and implementing software f or modern HPC systems. He is a principal member of staff at Sandia Nationa l Laboratories\, where he leads the Kokkos core team developing the perfor mance portability programming model for C++ and heads Sandia's delegation to the ISO C++ standards committee. He also serves as adviser to numerous application teams\, helping them redesign their codes using Kokkos and ach ieve performance portability for the next generation of supercomputers. Ch ristian earned a doctorate from the University of Technology Ilmenau in th eoretical physics with a focus on computational material research.
