Scott Parker joins Tony to discuss the progress getting applications running on Aurora Supercomputer nodes.  From 2022 where the project started to today, significant progress has been made using a variety of programming models.  Kokkos, OpenMP and oneAPI have enabled migration of scientific and AI applications to run on the Intel CPUs and GPUs Aurora is built on.

Guest:

Scott Parker is the Lead for Performance Tools and Programming Models at the ALCF. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University, and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to joining Argonne, he worked at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, where he focused on high-performance computing and scientific applications. At Argonne since 2008, he works on performance tools, performance optimization, and spectral element computational fluid dynamics solvers.
