Presentation at SciPy2006
In this talk, we introduce the Synthetic
Programming Environment (SPE) for Python. Synthetic
programming is a meta-programming technique for generating
high-performance computational kernels from high level
scripting languages (synthetic as in code synthesis). The
SPE exposes the underlying processor's instruction set to
the developer and supplies a set of tools for generating and
executing custom instruction streams.

Parallel debugging BOF at SC
2005
Jayant Desouza (Intel Corporation) and Jeff Squyres will be
hosting a Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) on parallel debugging at
SC 2005. The BOF will be in the form of a "directed
discussion" to discuss the current state of parallel
debugging and to answer the following open questions:
- What should MPI implementations do to make life easier for
end users and sys/cluster admins?
- What makes you scream with parallel debugging?
- What would make things better for parallel
debugging?
Suggested readings before attending the BOF:
