On November 15th, 2024 at 11.30 am a new appointment of NECSTFridayTalk series titled "Programming the Future: the Essential Role of System Topology Awareness in Heterogeneous Disaggregated Environments" will take place at DEIB NECSTLab Meeting Room (Building 20) and on line by Zoom.

During this talk, we will have, as speaker, Beatrice Branchini, PhD student at Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria.

Heterogeneous disaggregated systems represent a promising solution to deliver the performance required by next-generation High-Performance Computing workloads. Nevertheless, their heterogeneity represents a significant challenge in the application development process, making it urgent to identify solutions to program these systems productively and efficiently without sacrificing performance. This talk will explore the potential of system topology information in addressing such a challenge. We will delve into the foundations of system topology and how this information could be exploited in high-level programming libraries across all layers of the software infrastructures.

The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.

Every week, the “NECSTFridayTalk” invites researchers, professionals or entrepreneurs to share their work experiences and projects they are implementing in the “Computing Systems”.
