This event is a part of the "Best Practices for HPC Software Developers" webinar series, produced by the IDEAS Productivity Project. The HPC Best Practices webinars address issues faced by developers of computational science and engineering (CSE) software on high-performance computers (HPC) and occur approximately monthly.

Abstract
The development of increasingly complex architectures and software ecosystems continues. Both the multiphysics modeling simulations and the coupling of modeling and data analytics applications increasingly require the combined use of software packages developed by diverse, independent teams throughout the HPC community. The Extreme-scale Scientific Software Development Kit (xSDK) is being developed to provide such an infrastructure of independent mathematical libraries to support productive and efficient development of high-quality applications. This webinar will discuss in more detail the development and impact of the xSDK community policies, which constitute and integral part of the project and were defined to achieve improved code quality and compatibility across xSDK member packages and a sustainable software ecosystem.
Presenter Bios
Ulrike Meier Yang leads the Mathematical Algorithms & Computing Group in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. She leads the xSDK project in DOE’s Exascale Computing Project and the Linear Solvers topical area in the SciDAC FASTMath Institute; she is a developer of the software library hypre. She earned her Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests are numerical algorithms, parallel computing, and scientific software design.
Piotr Luszczek is a research assistant professor at the Innovative Computing Laboratory in the University of Tennessee. Piotr earned his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research interests include benchmarking, numerical linear algebra for high-performance computing, automatic performance tuning, and stochastic performance models. He has over a decade of experience developing HPC numerical software for large-scale, distributed-memory multicore systems with hardware accelerators. Piotr serves as a co-PI on the ECP xSDK project that aims to improve access to world-class software on exascale machines.
